Editorial Reviews

Review

"This title covers a great range of topics including many questions that estheticians ask themselves as they become more and more qualified in their field."- Elizabeth Myron, Independent Esthetics Consultant

"I think there is a need for this book. Today's consumer is savvy but not necessarily knowledgeable. Knowing about specific ingredients is more helpful to the consumer than just being told to buy certain brand names..."

"The author has done a good job identifying questions the average consumer has. The valuable references and direct quotes from chemists, clinical researchers, and research physicians included give validity to the topics... I think there are average questions that the consumer would ask and a good point for educators in the esthetics field should be training students to answer."

"This is a great resource for a new esthetician or a seasoned skin care professional... The book includes a very well balanced set of questions. We get many questions concerning the "other" types of skin care lines. Why are they so different? Why is this one better than that one? This book addresses these types of questions..."

This Book Is Amazing 🙌🤓👏!
I'm an Esthetician and this book is so helpful. Sometimes I forget a few things I might not talk about on a daily basis with clients or my students and this book helps me so much. It's so easy. The layout is in Q&A's and it's easy to understand and a great refresher. Mark Lee really took his time to remember all the questions and more his clients asked him and he answers in a very simple manner. Plus there is a glossary section in the back as well, which I LOVE. I recommend this book to new and all Estheticians, anyone who loves skin as much as we do. I tell my students "Education Never Ends In What We Do". Read and soak it up!!

Let me put it like this: If you're having trouble answering your client's questions, you need this book STAT. (I mentioned this in another review of the Milady reference guide) Mark Lees' knowledge is unmatchable in this industry. There are NO gimmicks, NO pushing you to buy his products, and most importantly, there is NO CONFUSION when he is eloquently explaining the situation. Skin is complicated to understand and skin theory can be boring to certain people; He makes it so literally anyone and everyone can understand the problems they may be experiencing. I have even referred the book itself to clients who were interested in learning more about their skin and the way it works because it's THAT easy to understand.
Let me also mention that if you have Paula Begoun's books, you should really consider adding this one to your collection: estheticians need to hear the same things multiple ways to ensure that we truly understand what we're doing. Paula's approach is okay and everyone should own her Beauty Bible, but in turn, we have to have other sources to reference. His version of things is in laymans terms and is a lot easier for your clients to retain.
Let me be very clear: I'm not sponsored by anyone, I'm not here to bash anyone, and I don't know either person. I was in the game for a long time and I was successful because I referenced his books over and over again. I reference Paula too, though Lees is the best when it comes to keeping your clients informed: teach them how to fish, and they'll come back to you over and over again!

I am medical esthetician and this is simple, wonderful, making sense information. I recommend it for any skincare junkie, whoever wants to look younger, have healthy skin. A must.
I got it so I can force the info to my friends who don't believe in sunscreen and other products that can protect their skin. Now whenever they tell me their internet truth, here, read that. I want to help you ok?:)

I am in esthetician school and was looking for a book that will further my knowledge about the skin. This book has so many great questions and answers that are very clear and easy to understand. I feel that this book is a great addition to my education and I will only do better when I start working on a clients face and if they have questions. The only thing that I would change is that the pictures in the book are in black in white which makes it a little difficult but still okay to look at. However, I was so happy I decided to purchase this book, I highly recommended it!

Great book for Estheticians and anyone who likes to learn more about skincare.

Amazing... very helpful information. all the information i need to know about the skin is comprised in this book. no more googling for topics that could mislead me to a wrong website and ideas. Every thing here is about what i need to know, the basics that i was having difficulty collecting and finding.

The prints are not small too and easy to read.
Topic focuses only to what is important. not confusing.

Hope to find an ebook for my kindle. thanks

Love this book and Dr Mark Lees, he's really broken down skin to make it easy to understand. What's going on with a persons skin and how to better care for it. Great "coffee table" book for clients or quick reference guide for Estheticians. Can't go wrong purchasing this book.
