Synopsis

Scientific understanding of the ageing process has developed rapidly and non-surgical therapies and miracle creams have appeared on the market in ever-increasing numbers, with ever-increasing claims of success. Yet consumers are confused about what is possible, safe and reasonable to hope for. The range of skin-care products promising facial rejuvenation also overwhelms consumers - they need expert help in understanding their skin type and the best products for their needs. Environmental and health factors can also drastically effect the appearance of our skin - we cannot properly understand its behaviour without understanding the underlying causes. This book educates readers in each of these areas, teaching both protection and repair. Part one begins with the key facts about skin, explaining its structure and looking at why and how our faces age. Practical advice teaches the basic steps toward an improved complexion. A survey of available products also equips readers with the knowledge to spend wisely and well. Part two looks at different problems afflicting the skin, from crow's feet to sun damage, covering symptoms, causes and the pros and cons of treatments such as Botox and laser re-surfacing.
