What Every Woman Needs to Know About Her Skin and Hair

Author: Mandy Leonhardt
Publisher: Sheldon Press
ISBN: 1399814621
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 253

Book Description
The appearance of our skin and hair has a huge impact on our psychological wellbeing and confidence. Women feel pressure to have glowing, blemish-free skin, and thick, luscious hair at all times - in reality, our skin is a dynamic living organ which reacts to hormonal changes across the lifecycle, from puberty to the menopause. When our skin does not look healthy, and when our hair is thin or falling out, we want to understand why, and what we can do about it. We can spend large amounts on different creams and beauty products, or cover the problem with makeup, but ultimately the question most asked by women, and unanswered by skincare regimes, is 'could this be hormonal?' The answer is, of course, 'yes' - and if you read this book, you'll know exactly how and why. By giving you a better understanding of the relationship between your hormones, and common skin and hair problems, Dr Mandy Leonhardt will help you find lasting solutions whatever your issue. Whether you suffer with outbreaks, dry skin, sensitive skin, pigmentation or are concerned about the way your skin is aging in midlife, What Every Woman Needs to Know About Her Skin and Hair will provide you with the tools to find more holistic and effective solutions which don't just scratch (or moisturise) the surface, but which look at the root cause of the problem. Drawing on both the latest research and on her years of experience as a GP and specialist in women's health, Dr Leonhardt offers scientifically proven and practical advice to both understand and better manage the condition of your skin, hair and nails. She will explain which skincare principles (and types of product) are worthwhile, and which aren't; and how you can effectively connect the dots between your skin health and factors like nutrition and lifestyle. She gives clear advice on which non-medical treatments are worth pursuing (and, again, which aren't), and plenty of additional resources to help you find a cost-effective regime which takes both your hormonal stage in life and your bank balance into account.

Book Description
Do you really need a ten-step skincare regimen? Is that $100 eye cream worth it? And what the heck are “actives” anyway? In this book two professional chemists and beauty industry insiders tell all. Depending on who you listen to, the secret to beautiful skin is microbiomes. Or Korean rice water. Or maybe a dermaplaning tool. It feels like you need a degree in chemistry to even understand what these products are, and if they live up to the hype. Luckily, Victoria Fu and Gloria Lu, professional skincare chemists have done that work so you don’t have to. The science may seem complicated, but this book will show you how simple it can be, giving you what you need to make informed decisions about your skin (and your wallet). Skincare Actives? Technically, cat sneezes could count. SPF? Yep, super important. Caffeine serums? The science is still out. CBD additives? Not enough studies yet, so the jury’s still out. The authors are the creators behind the popular Chemist Confessions Instagram, and this book brings the sass, humor, and solid information they’re known for. Additional chapters address the best ingredients for every skin type, and reveal the only four products you really need.

Book Description
This book kept me reading all night. I couldnt put it down! -- Brad DeMeulenaere I had my first colonic at age 26. I am now 56 and have seen a total of five colon hygienists, four within the past six years. Ive been through the forest of medical doctors and many different alternative health practitioners. Much of the time, I have sensed a frustration from them. Sometimes its a frustration that they cant figure out how to help me and sometimes it feels like a cumulative frustration from all the others they havent been able to help. But sometimes I feel that their frustration is directed to me personally, as if they wished I would just get myself together and feel better. Lord knows, I havent always made the best choices for my health. When I saw Scott Webb, I felt a lack of that frustration and no hint of blame. It was evident to me that he saw the big picture and how we have been affected by our culture. Scotts message was truly one of hope which brought me a sense of relief and peace. That is definitely a place where healing can begin, when you feel no blame, just peace and hope. -- Victoria Lovett One of Americas leading colonic therapists gives you the inside scoop on digestive disorders that you or a loved one might be experiencing. Learn how to: cleanse your colon and your whole body, reduce your risk of common diseases, understand the deeper issues of weight loss, beat underlying causes of depression, improve your diet to overcome constipation, visualize yourself well and feel better every day! Scott W. Webb dares to defy conventional wisdom about health and proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he knows the inside poop about many secrets you have not heard yet -- until now!
