Now her proven program is available to you. Discover: your personal skin type profile detailing 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; natural health and dietary advice for beautiful skin; tips on preventing aging and "problem" skin; the latest information on the new world of prescription products, facials, chemical peels, Retin-A, Botox, and collagen injections.--From publisher description.A dermatologist introduces a program designed to identify individual skin types from among sixteen different categories and suggests the right products, procedures, and skin-care regimen for each type.
