But caring for your skin doesn't have to be complicated. As Director of Cosmetic Dermatology at the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami, Dr. Baumann has tested her program on thousands of patients, developing a system that is already transforming dermatology. Now her proven program is available to you. You'll discover: · Your personal skin type profile detailing exactly what will work-and what won't-for your unique complexion · An extensive product guide to name brands suited to every skin type and budget, including cleansers, moisturizers, toners, sun blocks, foundations, and much more · Natural health and dietary advice for beautiful skin · Tips on preventing skin aging and "problem" skin · The latest information on the new world of prescription products, facials, chemical peels, Retin-A, Botox, and collagen injections So take the questionnaire, discover your type, and find the products you need to look like a million bucks without spending a fortune. With this book in hand, you'll save time, money-and something even more valuable: your skin.

Read Carefully & Use Wisely:
