What the dermatologists DON'T want you to know!

After graduating from college, my skin broke out (I'm a late bloomer). I thought the acne would scar my face forever. Too poor to see a dermatologist, I decided to look for hope in a home remedy. This book saved my face! Within two weeks of following her suggestions for basic skin care routine, my face cleared up completely. I have passed along her regimen to my other friends and family who have encountered acne issues, and they too, have seen magical results! Try her suggestions BEFORE you spend too much time and money at the dermatologist's office!

For smart women

If you're tired of the baloney in fashion magazines, read this book. Begoun explains the science behind beauty so you can save money and look good. I highly recommend this for the teenage girl you know or anyone else you suspect is overpaying and overapplying when it comes to make-up.

Wish I'd found you years ago!

I have had a slight breakout (3 or 4 noticable eruptions) since my teens. I am now 40, so this was a long time to constantly look in the mirror and see zits. About 4 years ago I checked your Blue Eyeshadow book out of the library. In reading the chapter about breakouts I "pulled" advice from different areas and changed some of my daily routines. I started washing towels and sheets in perfume and dye free detergent. I stopped using dryer sheets on towels and sheets. I started using a gentle cleanser (I use Alpha Hydrox Foaming Face Wash). And I started using a moisturizer with Beta Hydroxy (I useOlay - age defying protective renewel lotion). The change in my skin was unbelieveable. Within two weeks, it cleared up completely. A breakout is rare now, and I finally have the skin I wanted in my teens. My skin feels smoother and I have even noticed that a few lines here and there seem lighter. I have told this regimen to any friends that ask and they have tried it. Everyone who has tried it has commented on the change in their skin. I have been using it for 4 years now and am still as happy as when I started using it. This last Winter, my skin felt drier than usual, so I tried the new Kinetin moisurizer by Almay. I really like it a lot and was wondering your take on it. I am still using the Olay at night. I cannot thank you enough. If not for you, I would someday be ordering Oxy 10 from my bed in the nursing home. Thank You for caring.

Why didn't I find this before I spent $1000 on War Putty?

This book is the best-- no girl should be allowed to enter adolescence without it, and no woman should be allowed to leave home without reading it. Years ago I modeled and I was hooked on anything that sounded French. As assignments got more lucerative, I found little business secrets that worked and had nothing to do with chemicals in purse cases, and they are printed in this book!

Wonderful!

A great book--filled with information that will save you money. An honest evaluation of the products out there--what works, what doesn't. I've saved so much money since reading this book.
