I love this book. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down.
I have found information about certain skin concerns of mine in this book and was able to educate myself. I also like the myths vs. facts. Everyone should have this book. It is easy to read and understand from a patients standpoint and the Physicians. It's not a bunch of complicated medical words.

This book is like having a personal dermatologist in your home. Every skin issue is addressed and real solutions and suggestions make this a must-have for everyone. As a mom of three - this book will be within my reach at all times! Now when I have a skin question or problem I don't have to pay to go to the doctor just to ask a question. The doctors have written a book that is easy to ready, easy to understand, and entertaining! I'm buying extras to give as gifts this Christmas.

I saw this new book of Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields mentioned in a blog and I can't wait to get it. In fact, I decided to do my Christmas shopping early and got one for my mom and two sisters. We all try to take care of ourselves and sometimes I think my mother looks just as young as we do. Keep up the good work doctors.
