Now you can identify and buy the products that are right for your true skin type. Answer the Baumann questionnaire inside this book and within minutes you can learn…
As everyone knows, all skin is not created equal. But whereas previous books identified only four basic skin types, through her cutting-edge clinical research in Miami Beach, Dr. Leslie Baumann discovered that there are actually sixteen distinctly different skin types–each with unique needs all its own. But caring for your skin doesn’t have to be complicated. As Director of Cosmetic Dermatology at the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, Dr. Baumann has tested her program on thousands of patients, developing a system that is already transforming dermatology. Now her proven program is available to you. You’ll discover:
• Your personal skin type profile detailing exactly what will work–and what won’t–for your unique complexion
• An extensive product guide to name brands suited to every skin type and budget, including cleansers, moisturizers, toners, sun blocks, foundations, and much more
• Natural health and dietary advice for beautiful skin
• Tips on preventing skin aging and “problem” skin
• The latest information on the new world of prescription products, facials, chemical peels, Retin-A, Botox, and collagen injections
So take the questionnaire, discover your type, and find the products you need to look like a million bucks without spending a fortune. With this book in hand, you’ll save time, money–and something even more valuable: your skin.

While acne has long been a problem for adolescents, in recent decades the last fifty years specifically acne has been on the rise among adults as well, particularly among women. Many scientists have traced this upsurge to changes in the dietary habits of North Americans. The Clear Skin Diet is designed to help those who suffer from acne to understand what it is, why they have it, what it has to do with their eating habits, and what they can do to prevent it or lessen its impact.
Research has shown that there is a strong causal link between certain kinds of foods and acne. These same dietary stresses also influence the level of hormones that cause acne.
There is also a strong connection between the brain and the skin. When a person experiences anxiety and depression, acne-producing hormones are released, which can lead to poor dietary choices high in saturated fats and sugars.
Most important, The Clear Skin Diet introduces the acne diet and lifestyle. Dietary requirements for protecting the skin are listed along with suggested food supplements when they cannot be easily met and summarized, as well as mind-body medical interventions that can influence acne hormones and lessen their impact.
