The Skincare Bible: Your essential guide to radiant, clear skin at any age from an expert dermatologist

Absolutely love this book! I’ve been following Dr Anjali Mahto for a while on instagram and loved the documentary she featured in about the truth of skin care. I Iove how her wealth of knowledge is made accessible and easy to read. Her breakdown of information is clear and concise, and her personal experience of problematic skin is a refreshing and honest read. I suffer with adult acne at nearly 37 and feel she really understands the anxiety and mental health aspects it can cause offering practical and affordable solutions, important for those of us on a budget but desperate for advice! I loved this book and read it within a day.

I absolutely love this book - to the extent that I'm already reading it again and have recommended it to several friends. It is exactly what it says on the tin - it is a bible of skin health armed with information that you can refer back to repeatedly. It will help you make the right choices on the high street and not get sucked in by marketing ploys, and it guides you into starting a skincare routine that is right for you. It is completely non biased and based on fully backed scientific research. It is so refreshing to be getting this sort of advice from someone with the extent of training that Dr. Anjali Mahto has had. It even gives you different ingredients you see in cosmetics and what to look out for when considering your skin health. I really do think that this book is a must for anyone with a true interest in skin health and what is right for them and I cannot recommend it enough. So worth the money.

The Skincare Bible is an excellent book that explains and provides solutions for almost every common skin concern thoroughly and with care. The first chapter covers the science of skin, what it is made up of and what it does, before moving on to tackle skin care regimens and the products one should definitely use or avoid for each skin concern, including acne, rosacea, scarring, dryness, sensitivity and many more. The book is written in a slightly conversational style, so it is not a dull read. My only criticism would be the lack of an index or a separate ingredient list as a one-stop shop for deciding which products are likely to be suitable for you. As it is, you really need to read the book in its entirety to learn what you are likely to require. I have learned a lot though, and would recommend this book to anyone who is experiencing information overload in the media when it comes to skincare.

This is a brilliant book for anyone wanting to dive into skincare and take care of their skin. The information is important and very clear on what you need for your skin concerns. I have read a few harsh reviews.. this book won’t give you a dermatologist qualification you’ll need to go to university for that. This book is very easy to digest and if you unsure how to take care of your skin and your constantly spending money not knowing if your doing the right thing. Read this book. I also follow Dr Anjali Mahto on instagram she’s awesome!

Finally, a book that collates and explains everything you need to know about taking care of and maximising your skin’s potential. I’m one of those people who endlessly takes photos of skincare tips and product reviews from magazines as I see them but it’s hard to know what is product claim and what is fact. Loved this book, easy to read and can be trusted as it’s written by a dermatologist who genuinely understands skin and isn’t selling product.

I am beyond impressed with The Skincare Bible, written by Dr Anjali Mahto. Since suffering with acne since a young teenager I have seeked medical advice, attempted to self medicate and read many skin books, but The Skincare Bible is by far the most informative and well explained publication I have ever read. The Skincare Bible has changed the way I look after my skin, from the foods I put inside my body to the creams I apply on top of it. It is very reasonably priced, however, I would have happily paid double for the amount of knowledge it has provided me with. I recommend this book to every person that is interested in taking care of their health, skin, and wanting to look and feel they best they can. Young, old, male or female, The Skincare Bible is a must read.

If you have no understanding of proper skin care and follow no beauty bloggers or you read nothing about treatments then buy this. It’s well written and thorough. Its also advice from someone who’s suffered with her skin, which I think helps. I already knew much of the stuff she speaks about in the book so it didn’t give me what I was looking for.

I'm 32 and probably own about 25 face masks , 12 cleansers , scrubs , oils , serums, you name it then I'll have 10 of each. I'm obsessed with skincare and the latest beauty products , anything to make my face look younger and fresher and to get rid of acne and pigmentation. I have read a lot of books about what to eat to feed your face and neals yard beauty books . However this book is BY FAR THE BEST and it's going to save me a lot of money in the future . I read this book in one day learning about different skin concerns, acne, dark circles, cellulite, stretch marks, roseaca, pregnancy, hormones. It is written so well that you don't have to be a scientist to understand the language, she goes through what ingredients to look for when buying products and the fact that a cheaper cream will have the exact same as a £100 pot and that face masks only work for that initial evening , they don't penetrate deep enough in the skin cells to make a lasting effect. Every person should buy this, it's an eye opener and could save you hundreds !

Lindo livro e conteúdo bem completo. Bonito assim não custava ser capa dura. Eu achei que era!

Great book. I am a 33 year old male who took a sudden interest in trying to fix my complexion and reduce sun damage. I was astounded to see how extremely limited information there is on the internet. If researching something like Vitamin C, it would just say a few lines and the rest would be product promotion. I found Reddit to be an excellent starting resource, but rather than clicking through a hundred pages, it is far better to just do yourself a favour and purchase this book. The cost of this book is nothing in comparison to what you would spend in a year on creams and so on. Things I liked: very easy to read, quite comprehensive (I learnt A LOT that, particularly information on difference between UVA and UVB - that information alone to me is worth hundreds of dollars!) Things I didn't like: still confused about sunlight vs Vitamin D amounts, information was repeated, but that's due to the book organised based on the condition. A nerd like me ould also like a bit more scientific information on some of the recommendations, but I think the amount contained was perfect for the average person. All in all a very factual book that dispels the myths and tells you exactly what you need for your routine. Absolutely worth the money

Ideale per chi ama approfondire la skincare a 360º, e desidera capire quali sono i falsi miti e credenze, tramite evidenza scientifica, in questo mondo complesso e sempre più affascinante. È un libro scritto in maniera scientifica, ma ben comprensibile anche da un amante della tematica della pelle e della cura della pelle stessa.

Loveeeee this book. Mahto does an incredible job at breaking down the science behind skincare without missing important information. She also writes it in a user friendly approach - I learned so much, but never felt like I was getting lost. She divided the book into chapters based on skin concerns, so it's very easy to go back through your reading and check in on current skin concerns you might have. I can't recommend the book enough! My only qualm is that she rarely cites any sources in her book, which is confusing to me since it's so scientifically focused. Still worth it, though!

Das Buch ist äußerst informativ und leicht zu verstehen. Als Skincare-Anfängerin hat es mir sehr geholfen, eine bessere Hautpflegeroutine zu entwickeln. Die Anleitungen sind klar und gut strukturiert, sodass ich die Tipps problemlos in meinen Alltag integrieren konnte. Absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die ihre Hautpflege verbessern möchten.
