Simple Skin Beauty: Every Woman's Guide to a Lifetime of Healthy, Gorgeous Skin by Ellen Marmur
4.0
Seattle-based esthetician (and YouTuber) Jordan Pacitti (who produces a less-is-more skin care line called Jordan Samuel Skin) recommended this book. Additionally, Houston-based dermatologist Dr. Andrea Suarez (aka Dr. Dray on YouTube) worked with Dr. Marmur in NYC.
This is a great book covering the following:
Skin care basics (spoiler: all you need is a cleanser, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen)
Skin care extras (retinols, etc.)
Skin cancer awareness (prevention, protection, types, and treatment)
Cosmetic dermatology (lasers, fillers, and peels) for skin concerns, including "anti-aging"
I don't know how many people realize that the FDA (in the U.S.) does not regulate cosmetics and skin care products, and this lack of regulation can result in some shady clinical trials, claims, and marketing tactics.
I recommend this book -- and No More Dirty looks -- for a more robust understanding of the beauty industry's clinical trials and marketing campaigns.
I really liked the format of the book -- good information, some Q&A sections, and some real patient case studies -- especially the tear-out cheat sheets (for ingredients and what skin is best or worst suited to particular ingredients). Admittedly, I skimmed through this section because I 1) have read No More Dirty Looks and 2) avoid certain ingredients in my skin care.
The short summary: sunscreen is your most effective line of defense -- against skin cancer and premature wrinkling.
