Spotless: The Essential Guide to Getting Rid of Spots and Acne [Paperback]

Book Description

Publication Date: August 3, 2009

Acne is a problem that has no age barriers. With so much conflicting advice about, it can be difficult to know exactly how to find a cure. "There is no scientific evidence that links food to acne" is a statement commonly used by doctors and is the basis of many acne books but is this statement true? So many health professionals focus solely on getting rid of the spots by means of topical lotions and antibiotics but could the appearance of spots be your body's way of telling you that something else is wrong? Could spots just be a symptom? Spotless is the result of fifteen years of independent research, research that has uncovered the real reason as to why people get acne. The book offers the reader the opportunity to learn exactly how their body works, what foods have been linked to acne and explains why the use of antibiotics can cause acne to develop. Real case studies have been included to let the reader understand that everyone is different and what causes one person to suffer from acne can be completely different to someone else. Spotless provides a step-by-step guide to washing and cleansing, safe products to use, make-up advice, how to deal with skin issues during monthly cycles and advice on how to shave and avoid in-grown hairs.

This review is from: Spotless: The Essential Guide to Getting Rid of Spots and Acne (Paperback)

This fantastic book gives practical advice to clearing up skin problems which is easy to follow and easy to apply. This discusses nutritional aspects (vitamins, minerals and diet) that can affect your skin as well as intolerances and other factors. I really liked all the natural suggestions for skin care as well as the different suggestions for facemasks that can be found in your kitchen! I can't wait to try them out. This book shows that you really don't have to spend a fortune on expensive products to fix depressing skin problems. It really shows what you put in your body has a big effect on your skin! This is a must read!!
