The way people perceive the importance of their skin and the way they take care of it differs enormously between males and females and between cultures. Some seem to take little or no care whatsoever others spend their lives in constant repair and make up. What then is "normal" for skin care? What is good for it in terms of the use of cosmetics and what, if anything, is bad? This book is designed to bring to the reader the science behind what our skin is and does, the products which can be used to preserve or decorate it, and to discuss some of the realities and myths about skin care. It deals with ways in which we can prevent skin damage and premature ageing and the regular skin care regimes and products we can use from a very early age to make the best of what nature gave us.
