I am so lucky to live in Seattle, and Dr. Irwin is my dermatologist. I was so excited when she published this book. It is full of excellent, realistic advice for your skin. It cuts through the hype that you see on tv and in magazines and tells you practical advice you can use to improve your skin.
Plus, Dr. Irwin is a great doctor and a very nice person. So, buy this book and see what you've been missing!

I watched the Oprah show yesterday on "Look Younger, Live Longer" and was impressed with Dr. Irwin. I have read her book (Your Best Face) and recommend it to anyone looking to improve their skin without invasive cosmetic procedures. Lots of straight-up advice and current info on new cosmetic dermatology technologies.

Can a book about your skin be elegant? I think this one is, not because of gorgeous or flashy graphics, but because it is easy to read and reference, thorough without being overly technical, and full of straightforward information about our skin. If you are looking for information about skin care that cuts through the sales pitches and pseudo-science we're bombarded with in magazines, on TV, and at the cosmetic counters, this is the book to get.

Is laser surgery the solution for you? Dr. Irwin will help answer that question and tell you what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. How can you shrink your pores? Despite what the label may say on that pricey potion you bought, Dr. Irwin will tell it like it is -- you can't. But she'll let you down easy, telling you what you can do to at least make them look smaller.

I swear anyone following Dr. Irwin's advice will save money on their everyday skin care routines. For one thing, you'll probably learn you need about half as many separate lotions and potions as you currently use. Also, she'll tell you which drugstore cleansers and creams work just as well -- and even better -- than the expensive ones.

Written by a woman doctor who understands our desire to look our best, this book is warm, practical, and intersting to boot. (Did you know there is a gene for blushing?) Definitely a great buy.
