DESCRIPTION:
Just a casual glance through any women's interest (and many men's) magazines reveals page after page of skincare ads: "Advanced Night Repair" (Estee Lauder), "turnaround cream" (Clinique) "advanced super revitalizer" (Shiseido), "All day it revitalizes. Get to now your skin, learn how to look after it, read about the latest advances in medical and commetic treatments and much more in Skin Deep.. All day it protects" (Clarins), "The healthy glow that cares for the skin" (Christian Dior) - and all that in the first-20 pages of a popular monthly! Skin care is big busines
"Good information--not so good index" according to A Customer. While the information contained in the book is very helpful, getting to the information itself is another story. For example, I looked up "bump"--nothing; "red patch"--nothing, nothing under "red" and nothing under "patch." I wish they would have done a better job cross-referencing their index to make it easier to find what you need.. Too technical I buyed this book wishing for advices on a skin disease I have. I am no a physician, and I found little use on the text. Its too much technical.Maybe its valuable for somebody with a medicine degree.. "good book, no pictures" according to misststefani. this book was very helpful. It has many different skin problems. You just kind of have to know what you are looking for or read through just about every description because there are no pictures. This would be perfect if you just needed the descriptions of different types of problems that had already been diagnosed.
