Ingeborg van Lotringen
Beauty Director
I'm Inge, the beauty director, and I like reading ingredient lists and telling you to get out of the sun. I'm not very impressed by glossy packaging and fancy promises but I can tell you which beauty products will really make a difference. I currently have 18 tinted lip balms on the go and am partial to anything that makes skin glow. My best beauty tip? Get plenty of exercise.
