Fixed me - By: Pokka, 09 Jun 2008 
I bought this book based on the recommendations of the reviews above. I am so happy that I did & would like to thank them, & of course Dr Baumann. This book has reallly helped calm my skin down & taken much of the guessing out of searching for products. It delivers information on what the needs of skin types are & the products/ingredients to avoid. Highly recommended!
Very useful and great advice for ALL skin types. - By: Fiona, 13 Feb 2008 To get the best from & for your skin you need to know which one of Dr Leslie's 16 skin types you are.
There is a questionnaire in chapter 3 but dont skip ahead to that or you'll miss some great info along the way. After taking the test you go to your relevant chapter & find out what you can/cant do & the prodcuts & procedures that will work for you.
This has been the best £ I have spent in connection with my skin. I am a DSNW (which means Dry, Sensitive, Non pigmented & Wrinkled) which was a surprise to me but it makes sense when reading through the description of skin type, this book has both US & UK product information.
I have always had difficult skin & products meant for sensitivie skin didnt always work but now I know why. There are ingredients for each type to avoid & to look to include.
There is literallly something in here for everybody. BUY IT!!!!
Best skin ever! - By: Em, 20 May 2007 I bought this book after reading about Leslie Baumann in a number of articles, which praised her approach to skincare, & I am so glad I did!. Basicallly, she believes there are a lot more more skin types out there (16 in fact!) rather than the basic (and outdated) four: 'oily', 'combination', 'dry' & 'sensitive'.
You answer a detailed questionnaire in the book then read about your skin type (For example mine was oily, sensitive, wrinkled & pigmented), & gain recommendations on products to use, ingredients to avoid & treatments to try.
My skin was in a dreadful state before I bought this book - sensitive, red & spotty(nice!) It turns out I was using the wrong ingredients on my face which was causing the redness & spots (sodium Lauryl sulfate in my cleanser was the worst culprit). Even after 2 weeks of following Dr Baumann's recommendations, I had seen massive improvements in my skin & I am spending considerably less on products (I now buy a £4.00 cleanser from Boots, as opposed to £10 + from the big name beauty counters).
Over a year later, I am still following her tips & am totallly happy with my skin - her message is stop wasting money on fancy creams that don't work for you, find the right products for your skin & it will thank you for it!
Fantastic Book - By: Cygnatius, 20 Jul 2006 It is like having your own dermatologist. My skin is the best it has been in years. It gives you the tools to work out what products & ingredients you should be looking for & avoiding.
Highly recommended.
