The height of exclusive haute couture skincare, Libi & Daughters have set the benchmark with their skincare routines which have been perfected over six generations.

Their proven three stage approach to lasting skin and wellness results developed by Dr Inna Szalontay involves a diagnosis at the London clinic using in depth technology, a treatment plan and a maintenance, support and aftercare regime.
From laser and light to radio frequency and injectables, the results speak for themselves courtesy of the glowing reviews on their website. I was lucky enough to try their ‘Daily Routine’ including a Cleanse, Nourish and Support system which involves cleansing with a zinc soap, applying a purifying suspension, and then finishing by dabbing on the protecting ointment which should fully absorb. A mask is applied as part of the night routine. Radiant skin is only a step away and this gorgeous luxurious gift is a must for anyone who is serious about their skincare. Find out more here.
