Well, lots of beauty news today. Good Housekeeping has just launched its Reader Recommended programme. Clarins has just launched its new Vital Light serum. And Good Housekeeping has awarded this serum the first ever Reader Recommended seal of approval – meaning this product has been tested by a panel of Good Housekeeping readers and given the thumbs up. The scheme “is a way of highlighting products that have been best-tested by a large number of women in their own homes rather than in our own laboratory-like conditions”, says editor Lindsay Nicholson. Look out for the seal of approval on more beauty products in the coming months.

And to celebrate all of the launches we’d like to do a launch of our own – and launch a competition to give you a chance to win a Vital Light serum for yourself. Simply email editor@allaboutyou.com with your name and address to be in with a chance to win. The winner will be drawn on Friday September 30.
