Cherlynn | cherreading's Reviews > Skincare Decoded: The Practical Guide to Beautiful Skin

This was an informative book about skincare with a refreshing take from two chemists. Rather than just blindly recommending products, the authors go into the science behind skincare. I like the practical advice and how myths are dispelled.

For example:

- There's no justification for the hefty price tags on certain products from luxury brands
- There's no proof to the efficacy of some ingredients that have been put on a pedestal
- Don't believe ridiculous claims such as those about reversing ageing

One downside is the content is too very repetitive at times, with the authors throwing in the same reminders and phrases every few pages. Some parts were quite dull as well.
