Dr. Ellen Marmur, a world-renowned New York City dermatologist, is ready to answer your questions with this comprehensive, cutting-edge guide to healthy, beautiful skin. Each day in Dr. Marmur's practice, she hears the same questions again and again from so many patients. "What's the best investment against aging?" "Will this cream make my wrinkles go away?" "What does a cancerous spot look like?" A busy mother of four, Dr. Marmur knows women don't have the time or money to waste on products or procedures that are costly and ineffective. As a skin cancer surgeon -- and a skin cancer survivor herself -- she has treated thousands of patients confused about sun protection, cosmeceuticals, and antiaging procedures. This is what inspired her to write this book. In a refreshingly accessible way, Dr. Marmur explains that it doesn't have to be so difficult for women to get great skin or so expensive to maintain it. In fact, Dr. Marmur believes that to obtain gorgeous, healthy skin you need just three basic skin care essentials. And she gives you the know-how to adjust your regimen to treat issues like acne breakouts, dry skin, wrinkles, and more. With Dr. Marmur's passionate expertise and simple, inspired solutions, Simple Skin Beauty is the definitive go-to skin care guide for women of all ages. Simple Skin Beauty has the answers to your most pressing skin care questions, such as: • What's the difference between sunblock and sunscreen, and which ingredients are the best? • Will drinking a lot of water make my skin look better? • What is the best facial cleanser and moisturizer for my skin? • What, besides plastic surgery, can help my sagging neck? • How do I know if this freckle is skin cancer? • Which antiaging products truly work? • What should I ask my dermatologist if I'm considering Botox, fillers, lasers, or other procedures?

Download or read book Beauty Calls the Smart Woman s Guide to Cosmetic Surgery written by Gina Blacks and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am Gina Blacks. From 2007 to 2012, I underwent a total makeover with cosmetic surgery at a cost of over £40,000 (approximately $60,000 USD). If I had had all the advice and information on cosmetic surgery that I am offering YOU in "Beauty Calls: The Smart Woman's Guide to Cosmetic Surgery", my cosmetic surgery transformation would have taken much less time and cost a WHOLE LOT LESS.Now YOU are no fool. You know that having bigger breasts, a younger face, a straight nose and so on will boost your confidence no end and make you feel sexy and desirable. You also know that cosmetic surgery is a jungle with all kinds of pitfalls lying in wait for you (UNLESS you know where to turn for reliable ADVICE and GUIDANCE, of course). You are NOT one for jumping into something as serious as this "blind". At least, I am hoping not."What if it goes wrong?" That is the question at the heart of your doubts. Given what cosmetic surgery is, it is no surprise. In my vast experience as a cosmetic surgery adviser, I can tell you that the worry of getting a bad result is without question the single biggest fear for anyone considering having their face or body altered by surgery.I am no different. I have had this fear. I have also had bad surgery. To be exact, my first 3 rounds of cosmetic surgery gave me abysmal results. This happened despite my many efforts to secure good surgery which included the kinds of things that YOU have probably done (or plan to do) for that purpose: online research, investing in cosmetic surgery guidebooks, and seeing a range of cosmetic surgeons about your procedure.All these things failed me. I repeat: my cosmetic surgery guidebook, "Beauty Calls: The Smart Woman's Guide to Cosmetic Surgery", would have spared me all my bad surgery. This I know.With "Beauty Calls", I offer you first-hand advice and insights on the following 10 cosmetic procedures:1) The boob job (augmentation mammaplasty)2) The breast lift (mastopexy)3) The face lift (rhytidectomy)4) The nose job (rhinoplasty)5) The chin implant (mentoplasty)6) Cheek implants (malarplasty)7) Lip reduction (cheiloplasty)8) Hair restoration surgery9) The tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)10) LiposuctionTo stress it, these are all procedures that I have undergone myself. My advice is first-hand.In addition, you get the following important pieces of advice:1) Vital tips on both preparing for and recovering from surgery. For facial surgery, the herb arnica will keep your bruising to an absolute minimum. That's just one of MANY important tips.2) If this is of interest to you, how to get cosmetic surgery abroad safely and successfully. (Most of my own cosmetic surgery was carried out abroad).3) My virtually infallible guide on how to choose a suitably skilled, experienced and ethical surgeon.In sum, with "Beauty Calls", I tell YOU all the things about the 10 cosmetic surgery procedures named (and about selecting a surgeon) that I wish someone had told ME. My cosmetic surgery transformation cost over £40,000. Around half of that went on the corrective surgery that I needed following each of my first three surgeries. "Beauty Calls" costs £59 (approximately $90 USD). This £59 would have saved ME nearly £20,000.A smart person learns from his / her mistakes. A smarter person learns from someone else's (and you better believe it!)Even if you are only interested in having 1 or 2 of the procedures covered, investing £59 in a resource that contains crucial points of education, to help make sure the 1-2 procedures go right, makes sense to me (and not doing so, especially when you are likely to be spending thousands on your procedures, doesn't!)Getting a stunning pair of boobs, a straight nose, a flat belly and so on from your cosmetic surgery on the first go is exactly what you want. For just £59, you can help make that happen.
