Handbook of Cosmetic Skin Care

Cosmetics are increasingly tending towards being medications, and it can often be hard, even for a professional in the field, to assess the validity of claims and the suitability of products.

Fully illustrated and highly readable, this handbook discusses the main types of treatment available for the skin, nails and hair, and how they act.

All those wishing to broaden their knowledge of cosmetics and skin care, or those already working in the beauty and skin care industry, will find this book a clear and simple guide to the medical and scientific aspects of skin, nail and hair care.
