I WISH THIS BOOK WAS OUT WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER!!As a dietitian I’ve always valued evidence-based practice however until I met Anjali and read her work (including this book) I didn’t think to apply it to my skin care!I’ve always had the odd spot growing up but last year broke out with terrible acne on my cheeks; after speaking to Anjali and acquiring the knowledge in this book my skin has now never looked as good; I’m COMPLETELY acne free & my skin actually has a glow to it (I’m almost 32!). Who new it was all down to the products that I was/wasn’t using on my skin.. it wasn’t down to my diet or stress (for me anyway).I bought this book not only for myself but for my sister too as I think she will benefit massively from it; I love how Anjali breaks down complicated topics into simple, easy to read pieces of information and I WILL NOT be buying any more skin care unless I’ve read up on it first.I love this book as there is something for everyone; from acne to anti-aging (I need both of those!) to stretch marks, SPF & rosacea too.You need this book in your life to save money & heartache.. I for one know how much upset my bad skin has brought me in the past.Thank you Anjali SO much (and the Penguin girls) for writing this book. It’s just what we needed.

I absolutely love this book - to the extent that I'm already reading it again and have recommended it to several friends. It is exactly what it says on the tin - it is a bible of skin health armed with information that you can refer back to repeatedly. It will help you make the right choices on the high street and not get sucked in by marketing ploys, and it guides you into starting a skincare routine that is right for you. It is completely non biased and based on fully backed scientific research. It is so refreshing to be getting this sort of advice from someone with the extent of training that Dr. Anjali Mahto has had. It even gives you different ingredients you see in cosmetics and what to look out for when considering your skin health. I really do think that this book is a must for anyone with a true interest in skin health and what is right for them and I cannot recommend it enough. So worth the money.

I'm 32 and probably own about 25 face masks , 12 cleansers , scrubs , oils , serums, you name it then I'll have 10 of each. I'm obsessed with skincare and the latest beauty products , anything to make my face look younger and fresher and to get rid of acne and pigmentation. I have read a lot of books about what to eat to feed your face and neals yard beauty books .

However this book is BY FAR THE BEST and it's going to save me a lot of money in the future . I read this book in one day learning about different skin concerns, acne, dark circles, cellulite, stretch marks, roseaca, pregnancy, hormones. It is written so well that you don't have to be a scientist to understand the language, she goes through what ingredients to look for when buying products and the fact that a cheaper cream will have the exact same as a £100 pot and that face masks only work for that initial evening , they don't penetrate deep enough in the skin cells to make a lasting effect.

Every person should buy this, it's an eye opener and could save you hundreds !

Really helpful book, wish it was around when I was a teenager battling acne! I continue to struggle with adult acne and my main issue now is scarring. I feel like over the years I've believed anything I've read that helps acne and scars and never had a proper skin care routine, just putting anything on my face hoping it would work. I now follow the routine recommended in the book including using retinol which I had not heard of until finding this book. Although I will forever get breakouts, my skin is much better now I have more of a routine and know what is best for acne prone skin.

This book is honest and I no longer believe everything I see online about 'acne cures' thanks to this book.

I found this book interesting but a little disappointing and I'm left feeling as though it was a little overpriced. Whilst it does provide advice backed up by clear and easy to understand explanations I was hoping for more specific information about skincare routines at different ages. There is a large section on Acne and other skincare issues which may be useful if required. I will look out for some of the ingredients listed but feel that it will be a long task finding the right products. Other than that the information is generally common sense with lots of importance placed on sunscreen which I was already aware of.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Skincare Book Of All Time
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2018

I am beyond impressed with The Skincare Bible, written by Dr Anjali Mahto.

Since suffering with acne since a young teenager I have seeked medical advice, attempted to self medicate and read many skin books, but The Skincare Bible is by far the most informative and well explained publication I have ever read.

The Skincare Bible has changed the way I look after my skin, from the foods I put inside my body to the creams I apply on top of it.

It is very reasonably priced, however, I would have happily paid double for the amount of knowledge it has provided me with.

I recommend this book to every person that is interested in taking care of their health, skin, and wanting to look and feel they best they can. Young, old, male or female, The Skincare Bible is a must read.

Ideale per chi ama approfondire la skincare a 360º, e desidera capire quali sono i falsi miti e credenze, tramite evidenza scientifica, in questo mondo complesso e sempre più affascinante.
È un libro scritto in maniera scientifica, ma ben comprensibile anche da un amante della tematica della pelle e della cura della pelle stessa.
