Skincare: The Ultimate No-Nonsense Guide

After finding Caroline Hirons' on YouTube and Instagram, I knew I wanted to have her book on my bookshelf. What she doesn't know about skincare isn't worth knowing! It's a book absolutely filled with information, which is clear, concise and doesn't talk down to you. The information is broken down into ages/skin conditions/skin concern etc and easily a book you can dip in and out of for when you need advice. There are also recommendations for certain skincare products. This is a must have book for anyone really interested in their skincare and getting the most out of the products they use.

Its the best prescription to your skincare. You will understand what you need for your skincare regime.

This book is incredible. If your into your skincare or want to know more this book will be perfect for you.

I don't understand any of the negative reviews here. I haven't read the author's blog, but of course, the material in the book would be similar unless the author has changed her opinion about something. I think this is a great book. I've been searching Amazon for a comprehensive book on skincare and skincare products, and this is, by far, the best. The author covers skin types, skin problems, skincare routines, where we should be spending the bulk of our skincare budget, skincare myths, and so much more. This is definitely not a book for estheticians or chemists working in the skincare industry. Hopefully, those persons already know everything contained in this book. This is a book for the non-professional, the everyday woman or man. And, it's written in a down-to-earth, easy-to-read style that any educated person can understand. The author is, at no time, crude. She doesn't coddle the big brands; she tells it like it is, but she is never crude about it. For me, at least, she comes off as an honest, truthful person, who would be fun to get to know. This isn't a book about makeup, nor does the author doesn't write much at all about the various skincare devices that are flooding the market today. She writes about skincare: cleansers, toners, serums, moisturizers, etc., and who needs which ones and why. A book on skincare and the products necessary for good skincare is exactly what I wanted. When I'm not performing on stage, which requires heavy makeup, I tend to favor a more natural look and give my skin a rest, but even if I'm only wearing tinted moisturizer, mascara, and lip gloss, my skin is still being nourished by the toners, serums, and other products I've used before I put on my "minimalist's palette" of makeup. You might not agree with everything in this book. I didn't. The author eschews cleansing brushes in favor of washcloths, and I love cleansing brushes, especially silicone cleansing brushes. But that's okay. I don't think any reader is going to agree with everything the author says. The important point, in my case, at least, is that we both agree that the skin has be thoroughly cleansed morning and night, every day. I think anyone who is new to comprehensive skincare and is trying to figure out what cleansers, toners, essences, serums, moisturizers, sleeping masks, etc., to buy and when to use them will benefit enormously from reading this book. I am not new to comprehensive skincare, and I found a lot in the book to help me, a lot I didn't know. I know I'll refer to the book again and again. If you're new to skincare and find the vast array of products overwhelming, and they certainly can be, or if you just want to know more, try this book. I think you'll be delighted.

Really helpful and user friendly publication. Good for sorting out a healthy skin care routine

I can't sing enough praise for this book. My daughter watched me read this and subsequently stole it from me to indulge herself too! Skin Care is paramount and we all have different gripes, concerns and skin conditions and this book covers them all and offers great, no nonsense advice. What I like is that the explanations aren't tedious and long (I get bored very quickly otherwise!), instead, Caroline raises the topic, gets straight to the point and moves on. Job done. This book will stay in my collection and I honestly believe I will revert back to it time and time again. I have already changed up my skin routine and habits and already notice changes for the better. I couldn't be happier. A book well written, presented and long overdue!
