 Inaccurate and missleading May 3, 2003

Working through this book on a skin care course was very frustrating. The medical terms used were inaccurate and often contradictory.Althought the basic skin care isues were dealt with efficiently the anatomy and physiology references were not consistent with current medical text books. This publisher has many better books. Avoid this one.
Great text! January 8, 2003

This book is very thorough, up-to-date, and informative. I found it easy to read and follow, and the contents pages are very well-labeled, making it easy to find the desired information quickly. I would highly recommend this text to anyone looking to learn new skills or brush up on old skills.
So you want to learn about skin care, eh? June 17, 2002

I also used this book as a text in Aesthetics School - and at the time, I didn't appreciate it as much as now - when I'm working in the field. I find myself going back and reviewing what I may have missed the first time.
This book has got it all!
- How to Portray a Professional Image (you'd be amazed how many don't know this! yikes...=0) )
- A History of Skin Care and Cosmetics
- Bacteriology
- Sterilization & Disinfection for salon safety
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Disorders of the Skin & Special Procedures
- Ingredient & Product Analysis
- Nutrition & Health of the Skin
- Client Consultation & Skin Analysis
- Massage Techniques
- and more....I have the '99 version and found that it has helpful and effective to answer most questions that I may have had.
Sure, there are a few errors that can easily be modified - but they are not worth missing this book over!
Very Comprehensive and easy to tackle. I recommend!
 update the book January 23, 2002

This textbook is practically the only standard textbook that can be utilized by students preparing to become estheticians. However, the book needs to be brought up to current standards. Do not just print a new edition without updating the information, this stifles the profession!
 Wonderful February 2, 2001

I resently went to school to study esthetics,and now a lisenced esthetician. I found this text easy to read, extremely informative, and very up to date. I advise anyone who is interested in skin to buy this text. You will not read it and throw it away or put it to the side, you will always want to review it in years to come.
