The Skincare Bible: Your essential guide to radiant, clear skin at any age from an expert dermatologist

I absolutely love this book - to the extent that I'm already reading it again and have recommended it to several friends. It is exactly what it says on the tin - it is a bible of skin health armed with information that you can refer back to repeatedly. It will help you make the right choices on the high street and not get sucked in by marketing ploys, and it guides you into starting a skincare routine that is right for you. It is completely non biased and based on fully backed scientific research. It is so refreshing to be getting this sort of advice from someone with the extent of training that Dr. Anjali Mahto has had. It even gives you different ingredients you see in cosmetics and what to look out for when considering your skin health. I really do think that this book is a must for anyone with a true interest in skin health and what is right for them and I cannot recommend it enough. So worth the money.

As a doctor I am always a little sceptical of health books for non professionals - the Skincare Bible is the first that I would recommend to patients, friends, family and colleagues.Written by top London dermatologist Dr Mahto, this is clear, concise and really has something for everyone. It is well written, easy to digest, enhances everyone's understanding of how the skin works and has some incredible tips- I will be trying these myself and recommending to patients too.Thanks so much for filling a much needed gap in the market - too many skincare myths out there that needed addressing, and combatting bad advice from non dermatologists claiming to be "skin doctors."Would highly recommend for everyone

The Skincare Bible is an excellent book that explains and provides solutions for almost every common skin concern thoroughly and with care. The first chapter covers the science of skin, what it is made up of and what it does, before moving on to tackle skin care regimens and the products one should definitely use or avoid for each skin concern, including acne, rosacea, scarring, dryness, sensitivity and many more. The book is written in a slightly conversational style, so it is not a dull read.My only criticism would be the lack of an index or a separate ingredient list as a one-stop shop for deciding which products are likely to be suitable for you. As it is, you really need to read the book in its entirety to learn what you are likely to require.I have learned a lot though, and would recommend this book to anyone who is experiencing information overload in the media when it comes to skincare.

I'm 32 and probably own about 25 face masks , 12 cleansers , scrubs , oils , serums, you name it then I'll have 10 of each. I'm obsessed with skincare and the latest beauty products , anything to make my face look younger and fresher and to get rid of acne and pigmentation. I have read a lot of books about what to eat to feed your face and neals yard beauty books .However this book is BY FAR THE BEST and it's going to save me a lot of money in the future . I read this book in one day learning about different skin concerns, acne, dark circles, cellulite, stretch marks, roseaca, pregnancy, hormones. It is written so well that you don't have to be a scientist to understand the language, she goes through what ingredients to look for when buying products and the fact that a cheaper cream will have the exact same as a £100 pot and that face masks only work for that initial evening , they don't penetrate deep enough in the skin cells to make a lasting effect.Every person should buy this, it's an eye opener and could save you hundreds !

I am beyond impressed with The Skincare Bible, written by Dr Anjali Mahto.Since suffering with acne since a young teenager I have seeked medical advice, attempted to self medicate and read many skin books, but The Skincare Bible is by far the most informative and well explained publication I have ever read.The Skincare Bible has changed the way I look after my skin, from the foods I put inside my body to the creams I apply on top of it.It is very reasonably priced, however, I would have happily paid double for the amount of knowledge it has provided me with.I recommend this book to every person that is interested in taking care of their health, skin, and wanting to look and feel they best they can. Young, old, male or female, The Skincare Bible is a must read.

I have really enjoyed this book. I spend a lot of time myself looking into skincare and this is a comprehensive guide for anyone wanting a real understanding about how to get your skin looking as good as it can and looking after it in the long term. Finding the right skin care can be extremely difficult. The author seems to have a real expertise in her field by being a consultant dermatologist but also knows how to communicate it to the non expert in a way thats easy to follow. There are many great myth busting tips which will both save money and time. Cannot recommend this highly enough!!

If you have no understanding of proper skin care and follow no beauty bloggers or you read nothing about treatments then buy this. It’s well written and thorough. Its also advice from someone who’s suffered with her skin, which I think helps.I already knew much of the stuff she speaks about in the book so it didn’t give me what I was looking for.

Enjoyed reading the book. Found it useful to understand the different ingredients in skin care from a professional. Personally have spent an awful amount of money in the last year in skincare as my skin has changed from oily to dry due to weather. This book helps me to know what ingredients would benefit me and therefore save me money and stress.A lot of tips on acne prone skin but personally, I use to suffer from acne as a child and found the best thing is to see a dermatologist. A book and over the counter products wouldn’t actually help.

Lindo livro e conteúdo bem completo. Bonito assim não custava ser capa dura. Eu achei que era!

Great book. I am a 33 year old male who took a sudden interest in trying to fix my complexion and reduce sun damage. I was astounded to see how extremely limited information there is on the internet. If researching something like Vitamin C, it would just say a few lines and the rest would be product promotion. I found Reddit to be an excellent starting resource, but rather than clicking through a hundred pages, it is far better to just do yourself a favour and purchase this book. The cost of this book is nothing in comparison to what you would spend in a year on creams and so on.Things I liked: very easy to read, quite comprehensive (I learnt A LOT that, particularly information on difference between UVA and UVB - that information alone to me is worth hundreds of dollars!)Things I didn't like: still confused about sunlight vs Vitamin D amounts, information was repeated, but that's due to the book organised based on the condition. A nerd like me ould also like a bit more scientific information on some of the recommendations, but I think the amount contained was perfect for the average person.All in all a very factual book that dispels the myths and tells you exactly what you need for your routine. Absolutely worth the money

Ideale per chi ama approfondire la skincare a 360º, e desidera capire quali sono i falsi miti e credenze, tramite evidenza scientifica, in questo mondo complesso e sempre più affascinante.È un libro scritto in maniera scientifica, ma ben comprensibile anche da un amante della tematica della pelle e della cura della pelle stessa.

Das Buch ist äußerst informativ und leicht zu verstehen. Als Skincare-Anfängerin hat es mir sehr geholfen, eine bessere Hautpflegeroutine zu entwickeln. Die Anleitungen sind klar und gut strukturiert, sodass ich die Tipps problemlos in meinen Alltag integrieren konnte. Absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die ihre Hautpflege verbessern möchten.

Ecrit (en anglais) par une dermatologue britannique de renom, ce petit livre donne les bases à connaître pour s'occuper de sa peau en fonction de son âge et de ses problèmes, sans se laisser manipuler par les annonces marketing des produits de beauté. On y trouve les listes d'ingrédients, leur mode d'action, ceux qu'il faut éviter si on a des allergies etc. Le sujet de prédilection de l'auteur est l'acné car elle en a beaucoup souffert elle-même, ses conseils ont très été utiles pour ma fille. Ce livre m'a également permis de modifier ma "routine beauté" simplement et avec succès.
