Book description
From one of the world's leading dermatologists, a major new guide to
skin health and beauty that helps readers look ten years younger
without surgery
Renowned dermatologist Jeffrey Dover and his expert skincare advice
have been featured everywhere from the Today show, Good
Morning America, and CNN to the New York Times,
Vogue, Self, and many other publications. Known for
providing high-end yet affordable skincare advice and products, Dr.
Dover is the creator of the highly successful Skin Effects line. Now
Dr. Dover shares his secrets with the rest of us. The Youth
Equation first proves that it's not people's real age that
matters, it's their skin's virtual age, or SVA, that reflects the way
their complexion is behaving. The book then reveals Dr. Dover's unique
program for looking ten years younger--at any age.
The Youth Equation includes a revealing quiz to calculate
readers' SVA scores. Dr. Dover then walks readers through the world of
skincare ingredients to create a customized do-at-home plan anyone at
any age can follow simply by picking up a few products at the local
drugstore. Dover's comprehensive product guide includes many popular
brands and shows which cleansers, treatment creams, and sunscreens
really live up to their promises, offering options to suit a range of
skin types and budgets. For those who want to jumpstart their progress
with a more aggressive approach, Dr. Dover demystifies injectable
fillers, Botox, lasers and light sources, anti-cellulite treatments,
chemical peels, cosmetic surgical procedures, and more with a
combination of intelligence, warmth, and refreshing candor. The
Youth Equation is a fresh and indispensable guide to better skin
health and beauty.
