7 Skin Care Books We're Reading this Summer
While many of us have the current best-sellers on our 2018 reading list, the editors at Skincare.com are focused on books in a different genre. From a book dedicated to the best foods to eat each season for better-looking skin to one focused on the ins and outs of the Korean skin care routine, we’re sharing the seven skin care books we’re reading this summer below.
The Beauty of Dirty Skin by Whitney Bowe, MD
On your quest to address common skin concerns, from acne to premature wrinkling, among the plan of attack are surface-level treatments that can help improve the appearance of the skin. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, internationally-renowned dermatologist and research scientist Dr. Whitney Bowe believes there’s a major factor of skin health many of us are neglecting to consider: a healthy gut. In The Beauty of Dirty Skin, Dr. Bowe highlights the ways in which skin disorders can manifest as a result of irregularities rooted in the gut. Readers will take away science-backed explanations, DIY practical skin care strategies, and a 21-day program that can act as a roadmap to great-looking skin.

In Eat Pretty you’ll learn why eating fresh, seasonal foods is a key part of a healthy skin routine, discover a few ingredients that can help you on your quest towards beautiful-looking skin, and even walk away with 20 recipes to try.
