I really liked this book. It was easy to read, laid out well and had some great tips for anyone struggling with their skin.

Unfortunately I was unable to open this book to review it due to technical issues. Thank you for giving me the opportunity however I was unable to view it.

I was unable to completely read this book before it became archived. The few pages I did read seemed interesting and I think it contained a lot of good suggestions and tips. Since I could not finish the book, I cannot at this time put up my review on goodreads

The perfect Coffee or Bedside Table book, It was really informative without being overcomplicated and gave a really good overview not only of skincare and how to look after the skin topically but also with regards to general health, nutrition and even mental health - a great go to book when you need advice or just a general overview on how to better look after your skin.

Also, can we appreciate that cover? It's just perfect!

Written by a leading consultant dermatologist, 'The Skincare Bible ' is informative and well presented.- It really is 'what it says on the box' and I certainly found things here that I had little or no knowledge of despite being a skincare junkie. A really useful book and well worth the reading/purchase investment.

A Brilliant informative book, taught me so much, lots of information and tips to pick up, one I will refer back to again and again!

I love beauty products. I can’t help it. I have a Birchbox subscription and excitedly wait each month to see what samples I’m being sent to change my life, to turn me into the soft, wrinkle-free and glowing beauty I know I am inside. They never work but it doesn’t stop me trying.
Dr. Anjali Mahto, tries to do just that in The Skincare Bible, or at least make me more aware of what I’m putting on my skin and what is likely to work and what isn’t. Starting with an introduction to just what the skin is and how it works, it then takes me through all I need to know to deal with a range of skin issues including acne, rosacea, enlarged pores, freckles and liver spots.
Dr. Mahto should know, she’s one of the leading dermatologists in the UK (or so the book blurb tells me and, as I’m not an expert on skincare, who am I to question this claim?). And, because I’m not an expert, I can’t say if what’s been written is any more valid that the many articles I’ve read in magazines. It does feel like it is though, and that’s all I can go on. The book is well written, well researched and seems to be based on solid evidence versus the latest trends.
I am lucky in that I don’t have any major issues with my skin but that doesn’t meant this book wasn’t useful to me. It was and I feel more informed now, less willing to buy the something just because a magazine tells me I should. And, for those with issues, the reviews I have read so far suggest the book has been a bit of a lifesaver. You can’t ask for more than that really. So, while this book won’t be for everyone, it’s a good reference tool I think to getting me that softer, wrinkle-free and glowing skin without spending a lot of money on pointless products.

I didn’t get to finish this book due to the early archive date but what I did read of it I enjoyed and I will probably seek a copy out to finish reading.

This book is very comprehensive. What I like most is that is gives products as suggestions for specific problems and it also gives holistic advice. I would recommend this as a gift to a young teen. It is a shame there is no make-up bible or set to complement it as well.

I thought I was already doing a good job of caring for my skin but reading this book really opened my eyes. It was written in a clear way, mixing the science with clear explanations and giving useful and honest advice. I felt that it presented a neutral point of view and there was no 'selling' of products or pushing particular brands. As I was reading I also felt that it gave advice to everyone no matter what your budget for skincare is. A must for everyone's bookshelves or bathroom cabinets - I will be giving it to everyone I know who worries about caring for their skin and ageing.

Exactly what it says on the 'tin'. I learnt so much about how to look after my skin and cope with the oiliness of my day to day origin skin care routine.

The Skincare Bible by Dr Anjali Mahto is like a skin care for dummies. It is a super long consultation with a consultant dermatologist; a consultant dermatologist with social skills. Mahto answers all your questions and more - I didn’t realise that the small age spot on my face could actually be treated. I started reading this book for more of an insight into my eczema. After reading about Mahto’s struggles with acne as a teenager and young woman, I realised that I need to get this book in paperback form so that my daughter can read it when she hits puberty. it has brilliant advice on daily skin care regimens for all skin types, what all the different creams, emollients and serums are, what all the labels mean what the ingredients do. She has chapters on the usual skin care problems as well as a chapter on pregnant skin and one for menopausal skin. She also has a chapter on all the slightly scary stuff - botox, fillers, peels and lasers. I didn’t realise that people can get Botox to help stop teeth grinding. She isn’t judgemental. She just states what everything does and tells you to do your research and get someone who is properly qualified to treat you. Brilliant book. Highly recommend. I now need to buy myself a proper cleanser..

After all, skin is our largest organ essentially and goes through a lot everyday and not just enduring cuts and bruises when they happen as we're reminded in this book, our skin constantly grows, changes and needs caring for.



With plenty of amazing scientific facts about skin and detailed diagrams to show us our skin's make up, we learn about skin types, colours and their differences and what each requires for optimum health. There's concise guides for what skin types prefer what products or just how pampering yourself can pay off for mental and physical health and happiness.



I liked how the author shared their on experiences of skin troubles such as acne and throughout the book talked about the mental health effects skin issues can bring be it acne, aging or stretch marks etc loads of us have the same common issues and need to stop judging others around us or worry what they think of us we are all doing our best but we can of course use the right products and have a healthy diet to help too!



We may take skin for granted but it's certainly been waiting for a book on the market to draw us to finding out what we should do for it sooner rather than later. I liked how the book is like a friend, there to guide, non judging where we may have gone wrong before but is comforting and busts the myths behind beauty industry jargon surrounding skin care.



Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this for them!
