DESCRIPTION

An Owner's Guide

From acting as the body’s first line of defence to regulating body temperature, your skin plays a crucial role in your overall health

Join consultant dermatologist Dr Emma Craythorne MBChB FRCP as she reveals the science behind your largest vital organ, showing you how to look after your skin through different lifestages, manage common skin-related concerns and conditions, and achieve radiant, resilient skin throughout your life.

Packed with research-backed answers to topics including how stress affects acne, what makes up the skin microbiome, and what causes skin to age the quickest, this book will empower you to make informed choices that will benefit your skin and wider wellbeing. Within this comprehensive handbook, you will find:

  • Essential know-how: how the skin works, its functions, and its structure
  • Easy-to-follow advice: how to adapt your diet, sleep, exercise, and skincare regime to keep your skin healthier for longer
  • Expert guidance: how to manage conditions including eczema, acne, and allergies
  • Science-based insight: how treatments such as botox and chemical peels work and how effective they actually are


Whether you’re seeking reassurance on how to manage a skin concern, searching for answers to combat misinformation, or you simply want to uncover the science beneath the surface, this pocket-sized owner’s guide is perfect for anyone looking to understand and protect their skin for decades to come.
