"Writing with consumers in mind, Campen (dermatology, Harvard Medical School) provides a guide to skin care. Through answers to questions posed by patients, she addresses basic principles of skin care, effective cosmetic procedures, how to tell the truth from advertising, developing a care program based on skin type, and common problems. She discusses wrinkles, dark spots, the effects of the sun, adult acne, skin cancer, large pores, facial redness, sunscreen, preventing wrinkles, hair and scalp problems, skin rashes and infections, what makes skin look younger, and other issues. The final section addresses new research."
