Info about all sorts of different skin care ailments!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I liked this book because it gives you an overview of so many different skin care problems, and it gave me tips about problems I didn't know I could fix. This is a good reference book to keep around, in case you get a new ailment that you need to learn about.
nothing fancy...the review i mean

This book in question is a masterpi...welll not quite. It is a very basic book. THis would be a great gift for a teenager. Or it would be a quick fun read for someone who knows nothing about skin care. Just like everyother book out there written by an expert expalining to non educated people. Do not take that offensively. It's just a very basic book. Nothing fancy. But if you know nothing about skincare you'll learn from this book. If you know the basics, then it's a quick read. Entertaining as it is written by a woman who is bubbly. She is not serious at all, just fun to read.
An informative skincare encyclopedia!

I can't give it a five, because she does plug her own products. But having a mini-encyclopedia of skin diseases and conditions is a great thing. I wish I had purchased a book like this a long time ago. I have a dermatologist, but she doesn't take the time to really explain, in plain English, what is happening and why. The Dermadoctor does that for the kind of condition that you might seek help for (acne, eczema, hair loss, psoriasis) and also for somethings that we may not immediately seek help for, such as cellulite, cold sores, chapped lips, hives, and dandruff. This isn't a book to read front-to-back, but if you are into healthy skin, I really think this is a great book to have around the house.
The book I've been waiting for!

As a medical journalist I am always on the lookout for great sources of sound, health information I can pass along to my readers. When I found this book - which was actually quite by accident - I knew I struck gold! It covers the most common (and not so common) skin conditions - which include not only things like wrinkles and fine lines, but also rashes and infections and some very serious problems. This is a reference book every woman should have, particularly mothers - kids get all kinds of skin problems growing up and what you will read in this book could be a real help. Unlike the other reviewers I did not find this book commerical at all, but instead helpful and insightful. Pick it up - it will be money well spent!

Never have I ever read a skin care book that covered everything I could ever have imagined (and I've read them all!). Dr. Kunin is amazing - she doesn't mince words about how to fix whatever is ailing you or you may be worried about. Where have you ever seen a book mention skin concerns that can arise with breast implants, menopause and odd skin conditions I've never heard of along with acne and dandruff? And she isn't about trying to sell something. Instead, she is self empowering the reader to do what it takes to solve the problem whether it's over the counter, beauty counter or prescription. She just tells it like it is. This is THE book I'm going to turn to for myself and my family for years to come.
