Review
Our school used this book for one school year as advanced training information. Our students loved the book. The material is well organized. The chapters are short, specific and focused on the objectives. I enjoyed the book and it is very informative and well put together.

It’s wonderful, not only for estheticians, but for those working with doctors or estheticians getting into the chemical side or learning more about the products. I would use this text for going more into certain areas. This book would be in the school library for any and all to see and read. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Skin Care Beyond the Basics, June 3, 2001

By	"skinrose" (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews

Lee's book is a must for all estheticians (skin care specialists) and medical personnel looking for a simple-to-understand text directed to teach and provide review about basic skin chemistry, ingredient chemistry, skin disorders, their causes, challenges, and how to treat. His chapters on "The Immune System" and "Essential Knowledge of Chemistry," give a a great dialoque on understanding our immune system and basic chemistry. Mr. Lee is a great teacher. He puts difficult theories into "people language." Skin care correction for highly damaged skin is very well explained. Having been in professional skin care for 17 years, I find this book a marvelous reference. Its provides some of the latest findings and theories for accurate analysis. For the lay person,new student,or beauty editor, it offers great insight into the complexity of our skin, the body's largest organ, and how it plays a vital role to protect us. It also explains about skin diseases and how they are recognized and treated. The best thing is that this is an accurate book based on science and written by a well qualified and experienced person. After all, skin care is a science and plays a large role in preventative health care.

5.0 out of 5 stars esthetician's opinion, December 8, 2001

By	kathryn melton (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

As a licensed esthetician, I find this book my best resource. It covers most of the questions I have had as a skin care professional and many of my client's questions as well. I consider this book essential to anyone in my profession. It is readable and understandable for anyone, those in the business or those just wanting to understand their skin and what products can help them.
