Book Reviews of The Skin Type Solution
Book Review: Extremely embarassing to the skin care industry
Summary: 1 Stars
I have so much issues with this book I don't even know where to begin. Considering the skin care world basically evolves every 6 months at least (new research, techniques, and studies), the list of references was atrocious - it contained more sources from the early 90's and 80's than from 2005 (1 year before published). My biggest issue (besides from the highly obvious tone of endorsing HORRIBLE products for the skin) is her DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO POP A ZIT!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? All that "pus" = your WHITE BLOOD CELLS that are helping to FIGHT the p.acne bacteria. WHY would you want to extract that? Popping a zit also ruptures your hair follicle (what a pore really is) - hence why you tend to break out in the same place multiple times. I would have liked to see her explain the difference between "sensitive" and "sensitized" skin (BIG difference). Instead, she fuels to the fire of everyone thinking their skin is "sensitive" - here's a tip - put down the Starbucks/cigarette/sugar/proactive and start drinking some water. Your "sensitive" skin will magically disappear. If you are curious about your skin PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go to a Skin Therapist (Esthetician) before you consult this book. Any dermatologist who can recommend Neutrogena for acne and still sleep at night is not worth your time or money.
Summary of The Skin Type Solution
From Dr. Leslie Baumann, a world-renowned dermatologist, comes a program that's revolutionizing the way people everywhere think about-and shop for-skin care. Now you can identify and buy the products that are right for your true skin type. Answer the Baumann questionnaire inside this book and within minutes you can learn.As everyone knows, all skin is not created equal. But whereas previous books identified only four basic skin types, through her cutting-edge clinical research in Miami Beach, Dr. Leslie Baumann discovered that there are actually sixteen distinctly different skin types-each with unique needs all its own. But caring for your skin doesn't have to be complicated. As Director of Cosmetic Dermatology at the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, Dr. Baumann has tested her program on thousands of patients, developing a system that is already transforming dermatology. Now her proven program is available to you. You'll discover:
. Your personal skin type profile detailing exactly what will work-and what won't-for your unique complexion
. An extensive product guide to name brands suited to every skin type and budget, including cleansers, moisturizers, toners, sun blocks, foundations, and much more
. Natural health and dietary advice for beautiful skin
. Tips on preventing skin aging and "problem" skin
. The latest information on the new world of prescription products, facials, chemical peels, Retin-A, Botox, and collagen injections
So take the questionnaire, discover your type, and find the products you need to look like a million bucks without spending a fortune. With this book in hand, you'll save time, money-and something even more valuable: your skin.
