Healthy Skin: Your Questions Answered

Gr 9 Up–A thorough exploration of the skin, delving into the essentials of healthy skin, skincare routines, skin safety, common conditions, and cosmetic procedures. This comprehensive coverage aims to equip readers with a deep understanding of their skin. It addresses key questions about skin conditions, the best routines and products, and the scientific underpinnings of skin health. The book offers specific and useful information on topics that impact individuals and people worldwide, such as the individual experience of acne and eczema and the worldwide pollution and global warming, and their negative impact on the skin’s health. The scientific relationship between skin and health is thoroughly explained to authenticate and provide background. However, the explanations are sometimes too complicated for the audience and feature vocabulary that young adults might be unable to pronounce or understand. Terms like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pollution released through burning wood and cigarettes) or basal cell carcinomas (skin cancers) are liberally used throughout without the benefit of an in-text glossary or a phonetic pronunciation guide. The information provided is helpful, but long, dense passages muddy from the message. No graphs, charts, pictures, or other visual cues are provided to help readers process the information.
