patrice-anne rutledge, editor of healthy living today reviews clear skin by karen jessett

Clear Skin is a unique book that focuses on natural skin care, targeting readers who wish to avoid oral medications and harsh topical treatments for their skin problems. Its author isn't a dermatologist, but rather an acne sufferer for more than sixteen years who decided to find a natural way to control her skin breakouts.

After completing extensive research on natural and holistic skin care, Jessett founded the website Acne Advice and wrote Clear Skin to share her research with others. This book offers new ideas on common topics such as diet and nutrition, water, vitamins, supplements, skin care products, exercise, and stress reduction and also provides numerous recipes filled with foods essential to skin health. The list of foods that are either skin sinners or skin savers is particularly useful.

Because each person's skin condition is unique, Clear Skin doesn't offer a step-by-step solution to solving skin problems. Instead, it provides a thoughtful overview of current thinking in the area of natural skin care and a detailed discussion of available products and options. It's a book that's easy to read and sure to generate new ideas and inspiration even for those who have read many of the commercially published skin care books available today.
