Reader Reviews
You won't regret getting this book! Clear Skin: Organic Guide for Acne is very well-organized, easy to read, and wonderfully educational. It doesn't aim to convert you into organic junkie, this "sandals-and-granola" type which I personally respect but hardly relate to. Organic here, in my opinion, means gentle, natural approach to improving our oh-so-problem skin from inside out. The information Gabriel presents includes the most recent research. She discusses the merits and myths of traditional acne treatments and offers organic and all natural skin care products that are suitable for many skin types. I got this book when I read two other books (Acne Cure and Unblemished!) on the subject, before I went to a dermatologist who suggested she should put me on Accutane. By the time I was formally educated, I had already heard everything from other books, and was also able to identify some dated traditional information. There's nothing old "chocolate won't give you acne" in this book! Everything is up to date and very unpretentiously explained. She really helped me understand why there isn't a consensus of opinion on the "best" cure for acne, why benzoyl peroxide literally ruined my skin and why many chemical ingredients in skin care products I use are bad if you have acne. Most importantly this book contains comprehensive step-by-step routines for each and every skin type, and you can easily mix and match them because they are all gentle and safe. Best thing, Gabriel doesn't sell anything and she's not Proactive or any other beauty brand salesperson. If you are in the "Your skin, your science experiment" camp, she tells you several easy things so you can learn more about your own skin processes and various regimens (i.e., Acne Facial) you can try to control and fine tune your own skin care routine.
