Perry Robins, MD, saved our skin—literally. The world-renowned surgeon took on an enemy of unimaginable power: the sun. At a time when most people worshipped a sun-kissed glow, the medical techniques and messages Dr. Robins promoted had the power to affect every human being on the planet. Born in Newark during the Great Depression, Perry Robins never had it easy, but he always made the best of it. Struggling in school with dyslexia and grueling part-time jobs, being drafted by the Army and sent overseas—none of the obstacles life threw his way could slow him down. After his medical training from Germany to NYU, Dr. Robins studied a type of skin cancer surgery invented by Frederic Mohs, MD, at the University of Wisconsin. He brought the technique back to NYU and established the first fellowship program in Mohs surgery. Despite resistance, Dr. Robins upended conventional wisdom in the medical community by showing dermatologists that they could be skin cancer surgeons. Today, about 40 percent of all doctors who specialize in Mohs surgery were either trained by Dr. Robins or by the doctors he trained. The Skin Cancer Foundation he founded and helped raise millions for continues to spread his message, educating the public on skin cancer and the dangers of sun exposure.
At the age of sixteen, Lissa Bell found she had Vitiligo, which is hereditary in her family. At that time, not much was known about Vitiligo, and therefore, nothing could be done for it other than bleaching the pigmented skin in order to create a more uniform appearance. Over time, she researched and read the limited information she could find about the condition. Eventually, she found that she could not use products that contained synthetics without suffering an adverse reaction. While in her early thirties, the youngest of her two children developed eczema. She wanted, as a mother, to make it all better. So she began researching herbal skin care. She developed an herbal soap for her son. Amazed with the results, Bell began experimenting with herbal products for her own skin. In 2009, she started Lissas Naturals, a line of skin care products for sensitive skin.

True knowledge in the field of skin and cosmetics - well-based, objective, with no vested interests - does not reach us easily. It has to be searched for, using logical and critical thinking in order to choose the treatment and product that best suit us. I've written for you this book - whether you suffer from teenage acne, old age acne, dry or sensitive and allergic skin, or whether you'd like to know what to do to prevent early aging of your facial skin. This book gives you comprehensive knowledge of your skin treatment so that you may achieve the best understanding of the subject - doing so in a lightly flowing manner, and with no economic interests whatsoever due to the sponsoring of any cosmetics company. I suggest that you don't just read isolated chapters that seem relevant to you, or chapter summaries. You really have to apply my advice step by step, and move on to the second step only after applying whatever is necessary for the first one, and so on. During each step, I'll explain the scientific and practical rationale behind the required order of actions. I've tried to refrain from complex scientific explanations, so that the book remains practical and easy to read and apply, but I've still included short theoretical explanations that I recommend reading attentively and patiently, so they help you in the practical application of my advice. Full understanding is vital for the proper internalization and application of this advice. Most of us relate to our skin as if it were separate from our body. We treat its exterior with the aid of cosmetic products or medical ointments produced by private companies. For four decades I too treated my skin this way, until I changed my profession from agronomist to cosmetician. Over the last decade of my work as a cosmetician, I've understood that our skin is nearly always the first to react to the problems inside our body, and heals only after these problems have been fully resolved. The true solution is in healing the body, and choosing treatments and cosmetic products that don't hinder this process, and surely don't harm it.I've written this book with easy-flowing reading to suit every person and age. While you're reading, I hope you'll feel I'm there with you, accompanying you on the way to solving your problem.
