Your invitation to discover Dr.Hauschka...

As longstanding fans ourselves, we're delighted that Dr.Hauschka has asked Beauty Bible to recruit 30 women who have never tried their products, to discover Dr.Hauschka through a complimentary Radiant You kit (worth £39.95), which promises you ‘sensational skin in 30 days...’

You’ll need to give detailed feedback on your experiences with the products, as they really want to discover more about what women think about their skin and these beautiful skincare products.

We’re looking for 10 Beauty Bible fans who can attend an introductory session on Friday 16th March at their PR agency’s boardroom, in Kensington, between 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. At this special skincare workshop you’ll receive a demo of the skincare – and can, of course, have your own complexion questions answered by their super-knowledgeable UK Education Manager. There’ll be delicious refreshments, and it’ll be a fascinating morning. You’ll then leave with your Radiant You Kit, to enjoy at home, plus a Dr.Hauschka bag of goodies...

20 additional Beauty Bible followers have the chance to discover the range, too: your kits will be mailed out to you with instructions. Again, Dr.Hauschka is looking for feedback.

If you’re interested – and we hope you will be – please e-mail radiantyou@drhauschka.co.uk, specifying whether you can attend the London session, and giving your skin condition (Normal/Dry/Sensitive/Mature/Combination/Oily, etc.).
