Clean : the new science of skin / by Hamblin, James,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The things we do every day to keep ourselves clean can have surprising and unintended effects, as this entertaining introduction to the new science of skin microbes and probiotics reveals Keeping skin healthy is a booming industry, and yet it seems like almost no one agrees on what actually works. What one person says is vital another says is toxic. We have not cured acne or eczema, allergies keep getting worse, and autoimmune conditions are becoming increasingly common. In Clean, doctor and journalist James Hamblin explores how we got here, examining the science and culture of how we care for our skin today. He talks to dermatologists, microbiologists, allergists, immunologists, aestheticians, bar-soap enthusiasts, venture capitalists, Amish people, theologians, and straight-up scam artists, trying to figure out what it really means to be clean. He even experiments with giving up showers entirely, and discovers that he is not alone. Along the way he realizes that most of our standards of cleanliness are less related to health than most people think. In fact, our overuse of soap, sanitizers, and untested, misleading skin-care products may be to blame for many problems. But a little-known area of science is shining light on our skin microbiome-the trillions of microbes that live on our skin and in our pores. These microbes influence everything from acne, eczema, and dry skin to how we smell. The new goal of skin care will be to cultivate a healthy biome-and to embrace the meaning of "clean" in the natural sense. This can mean doing much less, saving time, money, energy, water, and plastic bottles in the process. Lucid, accessible, and deeply researched, Clean explores the ongoing, radical change in the way we think about our skin, introducing readers to the emerging science that will be at the forefront of health and wellness conversations in coming years"--

Beyond soap : the real truth about what you are doing to your skin and how to fix it for a beautiful, healthy glow / by Skotnicki, Sandy,author.; Shulgan, Christopher,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Sensitive skin is one of the most buzzed-about topics in dermatology today. It can be painful, debilitating, and inconvenient. Astonishingly, many of the women and men who suffer from problem skin are unknowingly causing it by washing too frequently and using too many skincare and beauty products. In the name of beauty and anti-aging, we're slathering ourselves in creams and balms that actually can damage the skin they claim to protect. The miracle products we buy at department stores, specialty shops, and pharmacies have the potential to make us less attractive--and to prematurely age the skin. In Stop Washing, leading dermatologist Dr. Skotnicki explains that the best state for skin is the natural state. On its own the skin is better equipped to fight wrinkles, stave off aging and act as armor that protects the body from infection. Every time we slather, spread, hydrate, or soften the skin, we nudge the skin away from its healthiest natural condition. Skotnicki demystifies the claims of commonly used beauty products and offers a common-sense approach to cleansing the body and a natural skincare regime that will fight aging, preserve skin health, and enhance beauty. Stop Washing is a practical, essential guide to the best and worst ingredients we slather onto our bodies and how to get healthy glowing skin and look better than ever."--
