Getting proper advice is the first step in having great skin, but finding truth amongst all the hype is easier said than done. Instead of relying on your favorite cosmetic counter or this week's magazine cover story, try starting with Audrey Kunin's The DERMAdoctor Skinstruction Manual; not only is it a great starting point for separating medical fact from pretty packaging, it covers nearly everything that can ever happen to your skin, from teenage...
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.

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...

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...
