Can a book about your skin be elegant? I think
this one is, not because of gorgeous or flashy graphics, but
because it is easy to read and reference, thorough without being
overly technical, and full of straightforward information about
our skin.
If you are looking for information about skin care
that cuts through the sales pitches and pseudo-science we're
bombarded with in magazines, on TV, and at the cosmetic counters,
this is the book to get.
Is laser surgery the solution for you? Dr. Irwin
will help answer that question and tell you what to expect before,
during, and after the procedure. How can you shrink your pores?
Despite what the label may say on that pricey potion you bought,
Dr. Irwin will tell it like it is -- you can't. But she'll let you
down easy, telling you what you can do to at least make them look
smaller.
I swear anyone following Dr. Irwin's advice will
save money on their everyday skin care routines. For one thing,
you'll probably learn you need about half as many separate lotions
and potions as you currently use. Also, she'll tell you which
drugstore cleansers and creams work just as well -- and even
better -- than the expensive ones.
Written by a woman doctor who understands our
desire to look our best, this book is warm, practical, and
intersting to boot. (Did you know there is a gene for blushing?)
Definitely a great buy. theartofhr
