Nothing New

by Lauren Smith from New York, NY on 2010-06-01
The tips in this book is very general - and they are probably nothing you don't already know... always use sun screen, drink lots of water, eat a balance diet and exercise, use products that are gentle to your skin. And what's really annoying is every other page there is a patient's endorsement of the author/doctor's own line of skin care products. I've learned nothing new from this book.

wonderful review for how to care for your skin!

by E. THOMSON from Fayetteville, NC on 2010-02-22
I read this book because I was at a loss for why my skin had taken a turn for the worse. I had always had healthy, radiant skin and all of the sudden I was getting breakouts, dry patches, oily patches, and noticeable sun damage despite my use of SPF 30 each day before putting on my makeup. I am only 28-year-old and want my face to continue to look young and radiant instead of going downhill, so I read the advice in this book and although most of it is common knowledge, it reminded me of some things that I had forgotten. The simple CEAMP system reminds me daily how to properly care for my skin without cutting any corners, and I have noticed a HUGE difference in the past month of following the advice outlined. My wrinkles and pores are minimized, my dry patches are gone, my oily patches are gone, my two age spots are less noticeable, and my skin looks and feels clear, healthy, radiant, and soft. I even cut down on the products I was using on my skin, which is saving me money! I now cleanse with Cetaphil face cleanser each morning and night, use an alpha hydroxy toner, and then moisturize with a Vit A/Retinol lotion at night and with an SPF lotion during the day. The book also recommends using vitamin lotions (Vit C and E), but I get enough of this in my diet that I don't need to apply it topically. Also, the book recommends both moisturizing and protecting with SPF, but I just do this in one step to save time since I'm a busy mom and student. Great book! If I had more money, I would be tempted to try her product line, too :)

A Sales Pitch

by C Wheat from on 2009-09-20
This book is basically a sales pitch for the author's own line of skin care products. There is some good information in the book, but it could have been better organized and the author could have given more information about products available at the local drugstore instead of pushing her own products every other page.

Skin Workout

by lean_bot from Orange County, CA on 2008-05-03
The elbow test draws you into the book. I like that the authors makes a statement that they are not trying to push anything "that haven't been thoroughly tested" p12. This book talks about everything i.e. anti-aging creams, exfoliation, scar prevention for nicks and cuts, and skin cancer. There are topics for men too which is rare in topics discussing skin. Additionally, on p76 Parabens is mentioned in regards to reading the labels, but I was unclear of the authors' opinion if it is good for your face or not. I just noticed that more and more products are purposely mentioning "parabens-free" on their labels. This book was copyrighted in 2007 and IMO that it is a missed opportunity that parabens was mentioned briefly in this book.Overall, it has been a year since I read he book and I used a few ideas which has changed the way my skin feels since the first time I took the elbow test.

Hot Dang i finally found it!

by Lauren M. Robertson from on 2010-07-12
I gave this product a try when it first came out. I loved it. When you use it after a shower it truly does lock in moisture for the rest of the day. However, when i ran out of the product I could no longer find it any of the local stores. Amazon was the only place I could find it. Well worth the price.

Description

The DERMAdoctor is in and she's here to give an informed, friendly, and practical answer to every skin care question you've ever asked! Written by board-certified dermatologist Audrey Kunin, M.D., The DERMA-doctor Skinstruction Manual is a hands-on, comprehensive guidebook to maintaining healthy, beautiful skin and looking great at any age. The DERMAdoctor Skinstruction Manual goes beyond any other book on skin care you've ever read. In her trademark warm and witty tone, Dr. Kunin frankly discusses the skin conditions we've all had questions about -- including enlarged pores, rashes, discoloration, and more serious concerns like skin cancer -- and provides straightforward explanations about why and how they affect us all. But Dr. Kunin doesn't just explain the problem, she gives unique and useful advice for preventing skin problems before they happen and repairing or reversing them when they do. From head to toe, this book is your indispensable guide to: Glowing, beautiful skin: If you suffer from acne, oily skin, rosacea, or melasma, there are clear-cut steps you can take immediately to repair and rejuvenate your skin for good. A fresh and youthful appearance: Chapters on sun damage, stretch marks, cellulite, and more address the clichés we've all heard and the treatments we've all tried and offer innovative, practical, and medically proven solutions that really work! Healthy skin, inside and out: Dr. Kunin goes beneath the surface to discuss a wide variety of skin conditions that affect many of us, like hives and eczema, offering expert advice for their treatment and prevention. Insightful and engaging, this invaluable handbook delivers noticeable results, with real-world answers to your skin care questions, all with a dose of humor and charm. In addition, there is helpful information on product ingredients, cosmetic treatments, and the beauty products that work best for your skin type. Packed with great advice and easy-to-follow instructions, The DERMA-doctor Skinstruction Manual is your companion for a lifetime of beautiful, healthy, and age-defying skin.

Getting proper advice is the first step in having great skin, but finding truth amongst all the hype is easier said than done. Instead of relying on your favorite cosmetic counter or this week's magazine cover story, try starting with Audrey Kunin's The DERMAdoctor Skinstruction Manual; not only is it a great starting point for separating medical fact from pretty packaging, it covers nearly everything that can ever happen to your skin, from teenage acne to post-menopausal dryness. Arranged alphabetically by topic, its design makes finding the information you need a breeze--and Kunin's casual, conversational style is enjoyably readable. If you've ever wished you could corner a dermatologist at a dinner party and ask about that odd little rash or bump that just won't go away, you'll love the tone. Along with clear explanations of a range of complaints, she provides an even broader range of possible solutions, including prescriptions to discuss with your doctor and simple over-the-counter remedies. Some are her own formulations; even more are not. Whatever the answer is to your problem, it'll be as practical as possible: None of those 19-step daily skincare routines here. With her background in non-surgical cosmetic dermatology, she's quite open to treatments (like Botox and steroids) that some prefer to avoid. At the same time, her medical background provides her with a solid research base that allows readers to feel that they're getting accurate answers to questions like, "Is mad cow disease communicable via collagen injections?" or, "What's the minimum SPF to look for in sunscreen?" Whether you're trying to prevent skin cancer, control psoriasis or keep on top of your complexion throughout the coming years, Kunin's detailed advice will help get the job done. Jill Lightner Amazon.com Exclusive Content Special Interview with Audrey Kunin, MD "I believe consulting with a dermatologist should be convenient, informative, and economical--that's why I moved my office online," says Dr. Audrey Kunin, a practicing, board-certified dermatologist, creator of DERMAdoctor Specialist Skin Care, and founder of DERMAdoctor.com®, where her focus has been to inform and educate customers on nonprescription treatments for conditions ranging from crow's feet, stretch marks and cellulite to rosacea, discoloration, bruising, male-specific concerns, and a far broader range of skin issues "rarely spoken of, and even less frequently embraced by cosmetics," she observes. Amazon.com contributor Jill Lightner spoke with Dr. Kunin, who shared some tips on how to discern fact from fiction when it comes to skin care advice, and how to make the most of your visits to the dermatologist.

This book should be good cos the Dr on her website gives excelllent advise. IMO

by Elise McGregg from USA on 2008-07-12
I might buy the book. Here are my stats. I buy a lot of products at ummm author's website? Weird that I haven't seen her book there, but it probably is. I can't renember how I happened on the site. Prob looking for an answer to something. First there are other great products there besides her own. Well, I read all the information on a life long problem I have with the scalp. I have never read such an informative and all inclusive source of information in my life!! I am in the health care profession. I could tell she knew what she was talking about. In my case bottom line was diff things work for diff people and you just have to keep trying to find the one and she named the products, not all her own and not all on the website but they had at least one kind of each thing she named ,well I trusted my instincts and ordered 2-3 diff shampoos and rinses. One of the shampoos WORKED!!! After 40+yrs I shampooed my hair and the horrible "killer" dandruff that could only be cleared up for a short length of time by huge shots of cortizone at my dematologists office and applications of liquid 3 times a day, was gone!! zitto, I was in disbelief, of course I have to use this shampoo routinely but it doestn't take much and it isn't exspensive and you don't have to use another shampoo, this one does it. One conditioner didn't break me out or cause the _(*&^ to come back and it was in a diff product line. Also a FIRST for me even though I have tried every one out there for decades, so if you don;t know whether to buy the book or not just go read the information there. he he. I think I will buy the book just so I can read it in bed. Esp since I am getting older and wanat the best for my skin which I have kept out of the sun!! I wrote this just in case there is just one person it helps!! cos it was a miracle for me!! Also as it turned out the shampoo tht worked was one of her procucts but her rinse didn't but another rinse did that was in her recommendations, remember I got them all and IT WAS WORTH IT. cost less than one Dr app. he he. Best to all.

Info about all sorts of different skin care ailments!

by Jeni - SavvySkin.com from Las Vegas, NV on 2007-07-27
I liked this book because it gives you an overview of so many different skin care problems, and it gave me tips about problems I didn't know I could fix. This is a good reference book to keep around, in case you get a new ailment that you need to learn about.

nothing fancy...the review i mean

by G. harry from Amherst, MA USA on 2007-07-16
This book in question is a masterpi...welll not quite. It is a very basic book. THis would be a great gift for a teenager. Or it would be a quick fun read for someone who knows nothing about skin care. Just like everyother book out there written by an expert expalining to non educated people.Do not take that offensively. It's just a very basic book. Nothing fancy. But if you know nothing about skincare you'll learn from this book. If you know the basics, then it's a quick read. Entertaining as it is written by a woman who is bubbly. She is not serious at all, just fun to read.

Clever Infomercial

by skin care junkie from New York,NY on 2006-02-08
This book was written with the idea of promoting the author's own product line. Sad, because otherwise it is a well written book backed with a good clinical background. If you can get over her commercial intention it is an ok read.

An informative skincare encyclopedia!

by Kharabella from Somewhere in the midwest . . . on 2006-01-01
I can't give it a five, because she does plug her own products. But having a mini-encyclopedia of skin diseases and conditions is a great thing. I wish I had purchased a book like this a long time ago. I have a dermatologist, but she doesn't take the time to really explain, in plain English, what is happening and why. The Dermadoctor does that for the kind of condition that you might seek help for (acne, eczema, hair loss, psoriasis) and also for somethings that we may not immediately seek help for, such as cellulite, cold sores, chapped lips, hives, and dandruff.This isn't a book to read front-to-back, but if you are into healthy skin, I really think this is a great book to have around the house.

This is a excellent body cream and it lasts all day. It is one of the best ethnic products that I have found in years. I hope that Alberto Culver continues to make this product. The product was in a few stores for a brief period and I have not been able to find it. I Love it! I give it 5 stars and would add 10 stars.

streaks, uneven color

by kaydee from South Carolina on 2010-05-27
I thought this product would be streak-free since it was a lotion instead of a cream. Also thought I would be able to correct any errors since the color was to be gradual. Applied it at night after shaving and by the next morning, I had more than the gradual color promised - I had stripes and patches of color on my legs - and I used the "light to medium" product. Won't use it again

Natural and healthy sunless tan!

by L. Chernitsky from Palm Coast , FL on 2010-02-28
After the first day I used this tinted moisturizer I noticed great results already. If you shower and scrub/exfoliate your legs well prior to the first use you will not have streaks or dark spots. The moisturizer goes on a little thin but drys quickly and most importantly does not have a harsh chemical smell to it. The smell of the moisturizer is faint and fades over the day. I'm fair skinned and now use it every other day just to keep the natural look going without looking like a ghost. What a great way to have a healthier and natural looking tan.

Streaks

by A. Engleson from Wisconsin, USA on 2009-08-24
I was really hopeful for this product to coat evenly, especially because it's a moisturizer which tans gradually. After 3 careful applications I had definite streak marks. Granted - they were probably an error on my part, but it is impossible to tell where I've missed when I need to wait so long to see results.

It truly gives you a beautiful tan!

by Teri Wesselman from on 2009-06-14
I love this product. It truly gives you a beautiful, NATURAL, and HEALTHY looking tan. I noticed results within days. I can now feel so much more comfortable when I wear dresses, skirts, and knee-lenght shorts knowing that my legs actually look nice. It is just a wonderful product! I now just put it on every other day or every two days because so I don't become too dark. Make sure to be very careful with the application around your ankles, or also put this product on your feet.

Best Self Tanner!

by A. Post from on 2009-06-11
I've used self tanners for 20 years because my legs are the color of snow. This product is the best one yet, simply because it's affordable, and more importantly it doesn't have that awful chemical odor! The scent is very pleasant going on, and stays that way throughout the day. And it's not just for legs, I use it everywhere, and it creates a very nice natural looking color! Spread the word so Nivea doesn't discontinue this product!
