Good Skin

Skin, the body's largest organ, is crucial to our wellbeing. It not only serves as a protective barrier between the outside world and our vulnerable insides, but also keeps us in touch with the world. But it's the appearance of our skin that receives so much attention - and is most important to a vast number of people out there. What keeps skin healthy and glowing? Is there such a thing as perfect skin and can you have it? This book is intended to serve not only as a useful reference guide on skin, its composition and disorders, but is also jam-packed with tips and advice on skincare, cosmetics, the sunscreen debate, organic versus natural treatments and anti-ageing advice. In a nutshell, it's a must-have if you're at all concerned about keeping your skin at its best for as long as possible.
