The Perricone Prescription

Long recognized as a pioneer in reversing skin damage caused by aging, Nicholas Perricone, M.D. now turns his knowledge and expertise toward acne. Here, Dr. Perricone finally delivers the solutions acne sufferers have been waiting for. A complete program that incorporates his trademark three-tiered approach -- anti-inflammatory diet, targeted acne-fighting nutritional supplements, and breakthrough anti-inflammatory topical applications -- The Acne Prescription will help clear your skin in a matter of days and will tell you what to do to treat the pitting and scarring that often affects adult acne sufferers.

Perricone's breakthrough research dispels common myths regarding the causes and treatment of acne. By following the Perricone Program, you can dramatically reduce the appearance of blemishes and breakouts, and achieve a smoother look within three days.

Perricone, adjunct professor of dermatology at Michigan State University and author of both The Wrinkle Cure and The Perricone Prescription, bases his work on a simple premise: aging skin, and other dermatological conditions are the result of inflammation at the cellular level. To offset this inflammation, Perricone recommends a specific diet. Readers who follow Perricone's prescription diet are advised to avoid starchy foods and any foods that are high in carbohydrates (including many fruits and cereals). The focus is on fish, omega 3 fatty acids, protein and antioxidants, which will effectively reduce the level of cellular inflammation and produce more radiant skin. This new book reiterates this information, but uses the research and findings to assist readers of all ages, specifically adolescents and young adults with acne. A 28-day diet program, glossary of yoga exercises, and discussion of nutritional supplements is included to guide the reader toward better skin. For the most part, readers will find little here that isn't printed in one of Perricone's earlier books. But for new readers, this book may be of interest. Though his theories may still be considered contentious in dermatological circles, one can hardly argue against a regimen that dictates a healthy diet, regular exercise, and good hygiene. (Sept.)

Bobbi Brown Beauty Evolution: A Guide to a Lifetime of Beauty

Author: Bobbi Brown

A celebration of beauty across the generations.

This positive-outlook guide for women reflects, as Bobbi says, "What happens to us as we make our way through life, and how we can continue making ourselves better." Bobbi shares her candid views of her own beauty odyssey, as well as her formidable makeup expertise, to help women feel good about themselves at every age. In the engaging, down-to-earth style that's pure Bobbi, she addresses the need-to-know issues we all face at one time or another -- from how to deal with changes in skin to what adjustments in makeup application are really necessary (and appropriate) as we get older. Also included are the personal, heartfelt thoughts of women from all walks of life -- all ages, shapes, sizes, and ethnicities -- reflecting on what beauty means to them. Their words serve to underscore Bobbi's message that true beauty "comes from having confidence and feeling good about who you are."

Brown, celebrity make-up artist and founder of a highly successful cosmetics line, here follows her bestselling Bobbi Brown Beauty and Bobbi Brown Teenage Beauty with a winning guide to looking good throughout a lifetime. With the warmth and encouragement of a fellow comrade, Brown encourages 20-somethings to keep their makeup minimal, 30-somethings to take better care of their skin and 70-somethings to relax and enjoy all they've achieved (easy for Brown to say; she's 45). Peppering her book with diet and exercise tips, Brown includes how-tos on getting rid of body hair, spider veins and those annoying bumps ("not exactly a rash and not pimples") that can line certain female arms. With chapters on pregnancy, plastic surgery and even coping with cancer, this friendly resource is one to keep next to the eyeliner. And throughout, Brown urges her readers to feel good about themselves: what makeup can't fix, she says, self-confidence can. (Oct.) Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.
