At last - a book devoted to the concerns of people of color that will help you
enhance and protect the health and beauty of your skin, hair, and nails. Dr.
Susan Taylor, a Harvard-trained dermatologist and a beautiful woman of color,
bases her advice on more than fifteen years' experience treating patients in
private practice and at the first-of-its-kind Skin of Color Center in New York
City, which she directs.
Her quizzes, product recommendations, and patient-tested solutions provide
information you can use today! She explains:
- What makes skin of color beautiful - yet vulnerable: Melanin provides rich
color and sun protection, but makes skin prone to scars and marks. Dr. Taylor
shares cleansing, care, and cover-up techniques.
- Strategies for satin-smooth skin: Learn how to nip breakouts and rashes in
the bud, avoiding discolorations.
- Scar Rx: From cuts to cosmetic surgery, Dr. Taylor explains how to prevent
and camouflage disfiguring scars.
- Makeup made easy: Skin tones can vary on a woman's body. Dr. Taylor tells how
to choose and use makeup for a perfect match year-round.
- Health help for hair: From short naturals to hot combs, chemical hair
relaxers, braids, weaves, and locks, Dr. Taylor tells how to style hair safely
to avoid damage, hair loss, and skin irritation - whatever style readers
choose.
- Skin cancer savvy: The danger signs are different in people of color. Dr.
Taylor explains what to look for.
Brown Skin offers comprehensive, culturally specific answers to help you look
and feel your best, to recognize and prevent problems, and to get the right
treatment for you and your family when needed. |
