Review

“Debra is a goldmine of innovative tips and the latest theory, expertly separating fact from fiction. Readers will love getting to know her and her sage advice through the pages of her indispensable book.”—makeup artist Trish McEvoy

 

“I absolutely loved this very straightforward and informative guide to skin care. Dr. Jaliman provides
excellent advice and tips on a wide variety of skin care topics from the best inexpensive products to describing the latest dermatological procedures.”—actress Sela Ward

“Skin Rules is not just filled with useful tips everybody can use to have better skin - it has brand new information I hadn't seen before. Great little book!”--actress Vera Farmiga

"Debra Jaliman's clear and comprehensive book on skin care is refreshingly accessible, and as expert as we all know that she herself is.She has generously included the names of numerous, readily available products to help with the regimes she prescribes, and of course she has her own superb line of products, too. The overall message is that with proper, educated care and Debra's guidance, we can all have healthy, beautiful skin. This book is terrific."--actress Ali McGraw

"I love this book! And so will every other woman who cares about the way she looks. Dr. Debra Jaliman has turned out a real gem, full of detailed information about the best products to use and lots of other useful tips about beauty in general. She also talks about the use of Botox and all kinds of different fillers. I have a great English skin and have always looked after it, but even I learned so much more from this leading NY Doctor. For instance, I now know to take biotin every day to help my nails and hair. I'll never again go shopping for skin products without a Debra Jaliman list. Skin Rules is clearly and authoritatively written. It is precise, informative and fills a real need."--- Barbara Taylor Bradford, author of Playing The Game

“For years, glamorous New Yorkers have sought out Dr. Jaliman to look their best. This book has great, useful and fun information!"--Jana Klauer, M.D., author of How the Rich Get Thin and The Park Avenue Nutritionist's Plan

"If you care about your image, you should have Dr. Debra Jaliman on speed dial and a copy of Skin Rules always at hand."--Donny Deutsch, television personality, advertising executive and author of Often Wrong, Never in Doubt

"Skin Rules - very informative and easy to understand. This book should be required reading for all adolescents and anyone with skin problems. I was fortunate to have parents that taught me the "cardinal" rule of clear skin. I love that one doesn't have to go to the dermatologist or buy expensive creams for every outbreak."--Katharine Ross, actress

“What a remarkable book – accessible, helpful and to the point!  Every woman should have it by her bed or at her desk. ”--actress Olympia Dukakis

"Dr. Debra Jaliman has been my dermatologist for years. I can't say I look as pretty as she does --but I'm getting close. She's almost too good - for my own book cover, my publishers said I didn't look old enough in the photos. Thanks, Dr. J. You rule!"--Richard Kirshenbaum, author of Madboy: My Journey from Adboy to Adman

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart, practical, concise skin book March 13, 2012

By Anonymous

Format:Hardcover

This book is a pleasure to read. It's concisely and elegantly written. There's not a wasted word in this book, nor an infelicitous one. Every one of the seventy-seven rules is spare, practical, and instantly understandable. The rules come with product recommendations at all price points; Dr. Jaliman does not expect that her readers are all millionaires with an endless supply of money for dermatologic goodies, whether they be procedures or creams.
The tone of this book is as empathetic as it is pragmatic.
It's a book for men, also. There's advice on shaving, hair loss, and tattoo removal.
With a title encompassing the word "secrets," a reader hopes for the scoop on what's hot and really works. The book doesn't disappoint. Rule sixty-one "Freeze Fat, Don't Suction It" discusses the latest cryolipolysis techniques, and the machines that really do freeze off the fat.
This is a gem of a book that I'll keep handy on my book shelf.

As a busy college student, this book was a quick and easy read and was perfect for my on the go lifestyle. These trade secrets for skin care perfected my skin regimen with simple and healthy changes! I used to dye my eyelashes but Dr. Jaliman says its terrible for you. I am going to stop dying them and start using her recommended products instead! The book is a great read for those looking for more beautiful and healthy skin (and eyelashes too)!
