We surprisingly know very little about the biggest organ of our body—skin. Maybe that’s why we keep smearing it with creams containing bactericidal substances and spend unbelievable amounts of money on products that harm it. What if we knew our skin better? We’d be more selective about moisturizing, we’d eat significantly more carrots, and we’d try to get a good night’s sleep. In her revolutionary book on skin care, experimental dermatology researcher Johanna Gülbrow helps you understand skin from a holistic point of view—and also learn what it truly dreams of. Thanks to unique research, exposure of everyday habits, and a guide to foods, you won’t just look better—you’ll finally be able to solve many skin problems (from acne to psoriasis), boost your self-esteem, and make life more comfortable.
