Skin Care Book Reviews
Skin Care Book Review's By Wayne'r
Book Review for November 2005
The Wrinkle Cure
By Nicholas Perricone, MD
Let's start with a label that says "Dermatologist Tested". Well
that Could mean that the product was tested but they may not
have liked it. Tested yes but we would not know the results. Dr.
Perricone did most of His testing and as the book goes along he
admits what worked and what did not work. Working from there
makes changes to make it work better. I give a lot of credit for
that.
Before you can take care of your skin one needs to
know what kind of skin you have. Not only knowing if you have
oily or dry skin Dr. Perricone has a good chapter on skin tone.
In this chapter he also goes into the different skin tones by
regions in the world. With case studies on the different skin
tones you can get tips on the do's and don'ts for your skin
tips.
After reading his book I came away with a better
understanding of how our skin is affected by our enviroment and
the foods that we eat. If you do not understand the antioxidants
and free radicals, well this is a good book to start
understanding their relationship. I even made some changes.
Starting with taking a multivitamin, eating yogurt and granola
in the Morning. Trying to eat more fish and chicken during the
day and snacking on almonds.
As you read through the book
Dr. Perricone does use many words from the Medical field. He
does take the time to give you the definition at that time
without using a Glossary. It does break up the flow of your
reading.
I read all the way through the book and then went back through
with a note pad. The book comes in two different sizes, I got
the smaller book for traveling. With the larger book you could
high light it as you read through it. With only 218 pages it is
a short book packed with information. You are sure to make at
least one change to your daily regime after reading this book.
Even Wayne'r the no brainer made some changes.
For October 2005
Beauty the new basics
By Rona
Berg
Being a former beauty editor for The New York Times
Magazine, Editorial director for ELLE magazine and
has written for many Other magazines such as, Vogue,
Instyle, Cosmopolitan, Mirabella, Self, and Mademoiselle.
This book shows the years that she has taken to research, write,
and live in a life full of beauty. Just start at the end of the
book with her acknowledgments. These are some of the best people
in their fields, be it doctors, hairstylist, makeup artists,
aestheticians, or the fashion industry insiders. This really is
a head to toe book, from hair cuts, color and styling; to
facials, skin regimens for the different stages of life. From
the neck on down to your feet, Rona has a tip that will help
what you see and will also help the way you feel about yourself.
This is the only book that I have read to date that will tell
you what products work and why she likes them. Do not use this
book as a coffee table book; your friends will pick it up for
sure. Although do keep it handy. A Wayne'r keeper
My first book on natural skin care was:
Ageless Natural
Beauty
By Sally Freeman
I'm not sure if it is
because it was in the beginning and I did not know much, but I
still think it was a great start. Like the back of the book says
"Open your kitchen, grab hold of nature's bounty, do a little
mixing and stirring, and bask in the blow of the best beauty
treatments money can't buy". From what ingredients to use and
how to use them. Do you grind them, steep them into infusions,
even down to how long they will last. All I know this is were I
started and it has lasted many years. A Wayne'r thumbs up.
Another book that I got in the beginning was:
The
complete Woman's Herbal
By Anne Mc Intyre
I lucked
out with this book as well. this is really a book from A to Z on
herbs. Not only will it list the, also know as, contains, key
uses, it will also say the Do Note Use, for many herbs. Taking
all the stages of life in from uses in infant care, menopause,
through the aging process. For a just sit down and read, there
is a lot of information to take in. But to have in the house so
you can refer to it, is a must. Another Wayne'r thumbs up.
Young Skin for Life
By Julie Davis
Her book your
guide to smoother, clearer, more Beautiful skin-at any age. Is a
good book and very easy to read. This is a book that you can
read and is not overwhelming. A Wayne'r thumbs up!
Looking Good at Any Age
By Amy E. Newburger, MD
This book is one that I would check out at the library. Some
books that I read will spark an interest to lead me into more
information. After reading this book I was left with the feeling
"OK".
Safe in the Sun
by Mary-Ellen Siegel
I could not
say it better by Carolyn L. Ellner, Ph. D. "This book should be
read by all educators and its message addressed in all our
classrooms as part of good health education." If you have young
children this book is for you. I wish mom had read this Book
when I was young. A Wayne'r 2 thumbs up
Women & Beauty
By Sophia Loren
Ok I like Sophia
Loren any way. And probably seen every movie at lest 3 times.
Even went on Ebay and got two of her pictures, one even signed.
If there is one person to get beauty tips from, she is a Wayne'r
no brainer. She must be doing something right. A Wayne'r 2
thumbs up and look out for me out bidding you on anything that
might have to do with Sophia Loren.
