Total Skin : The Definitive Guide to Whole Skin Care for Life

Rating:
Summary: Surprisingly entertaining for a book about skin!
Review: I expected a book on skin written by an eminent dermatologist to be chock-full of helpful information, but I was astounded (yes, astounded) to find myself reading "Total Skin" like a novel. By balancing instruction with entertainment, Dr. Lefell produced a book that kept me reading long after I had planned to stop. He also answered some very important questions I didn't know enough to ask. From make-up to laser surgery to skin cancer - it's all covered (in a very readable form and often using graphics). I highly recommend that you find a place on your shelf for this one -- I guarantee you'll keep referring to it.

Summary: Thorough, Clever, and Fascinating
Review: I learned an incredible amount from this book and enjoyed every word. Leffell somehow manages to educate while liberally applying humor and wit. Thanks to him, I now know how to improve the appearance of my skin while ensuring its health. Along with the comprehensive coverage of topics, the book includes contact information for patient support and skin disease organizations. I'll be recommending this book to all my family and friends.
