Book Reviews of The Skin Type Solution
Book Review: Invaluable information...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was convinced that my skin was oily because of frequent breakouts. After taking the test in this book I determined that my skin is actually dry. I purchased a couple of the recommended products in the lower price point and have seen such an improvement in my skin! I would have never considered myself to have bad skin - just a few breakouts and some redness that makeup could cover. Now that I've changed my products, I feel confident going without makeup and feel that I glow constantly. I also liked how Leslie addresses anti-aging products & procedures. It's very easy to spend a lot of money on something that could actually make your skin wors! This is an invaluable resource!Book Review: Excellent information for improving skincare
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book. It provides very useful information on the different ingredients to use and to avoide for each skintype. After reading it, I discovered the reason for the pimples on my cheeck might have been caused the irritating ingredients in my makeup.
I also really like the fact that she discuss ethnical difference in reactions to skincare products. I am an Asian and it is really helpful to know how some of the lightening and acne treatment in the U.S. may not work for my skin.
The only suggestion is to make the product recommendation list more updated. Some of the recommendations cannot be found in stores anymore.
Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who has had skin problems most of her adult life, I highly recommend this book. After taking the fairly brief, but very detailed, quiz, you will know your skin type, and can read the chapter specific to your needs. Then you can go to their web site and order specific products directly, or just make a list to go to your local store. Since starting to use the products recommended for my skin type, I have not had skin problems. (Although I'm still scared even typing that since I've been so fortunate!) It's amazing to not have to worry about how you are going to cover up / fix problem areas. I give this book two very high thumbs up!Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I always read reviews for acne products that said "after years of trying everything I finally have clear skin." I always thought those were fake reviews because, I myself had acne problems for about 15 years. I have tried everything from birth control pills, accutane, etc. And nothing worked. I just happened to be in Barnes and Noble and decided to buy this book. I took the test and bought the recommended products. It has changed my life. Within two weeks my skin has cleared. My self- esteem has improved. I no longer worry about my appearance and feel like going out more.Book Review: interesting premise, but my face ended up worse
Summary: 2 Stars
I was really sold by the whole concept of this book. I took the quiz accurately and honestly, went out and spent a lot of money on what I thought would be the end all and be all of my acne issues. Nope. The recommendations made my skin significantly worse. I was really disappointed.
My other comment is that Dr. Baumann continues to try to "sell" you even though you're already reading the book, which makes it sort of an obnoxious read. Throughout the book she boasts her method is the answer to all your problems...but it wasn't, at least in my case.
