review 1: This is a glorified magazine article. Very disappointing!Each "chapter" is one paragraph. Seriously. A few "chapters" have two or three paragraphs. That's it. There is no discussion of why or how anything works. She says use such and such a product or don't use such and such a product but then does not back any of it up. There is not a single footnote. Oh but forget anything as serious as a footnote...there's not even a Table of Contents!It also does not have an index. Want to go back and find that bit about salicylic acid...you have to leaf through every page to find it again. Really? Each "chapter" is only a paragraph and they can't provide an index? And dare I even mention that there is no bibliography. Is any of this based on any real science? Oh, but prod... moreuct names are all in bold and at the end of the book there is a list of products mentioned and their websites. Ahem!It's worth a flip through at the library but don't bother to check it out.
review 2: Dr. Debra Jaliman has finally written a book about the care of the skin for intelligent women of all ages to read and use as a reference. This Medical Doctor is an exceptionally trained Dermatologist and has researched the best skin treatments and product. She is candid and empathic.Debra Jaliman looks at your skin as a reflection of your nutritional intake, exercise, and getting proper sleep!She also encourages people to use spend your money on products for your skinAs a psychotherapist and educator, I will encourage my patients to own this book. It is easy to use as a reference.i believe when a person feels secure about the way their skin looks, he/ orshe expresses greater confidence and self-esteem.Thank you Dr. Debra Jaliman for a great, easy to read book!Dr. Susan LeePostgraduate Training InstitutePalm Beach, Florida less
