Description
The appearance of our skin
and hair has a huge impact on our psychological wellbeing and confidence. Women
feel pressure to have glowing, blemish-free skin, and thick, luscious hair at
all times – in reality, our skin is a dynamic living organ which reacts to
hormonal changes across the lifecycle, from puberty to the menopause. When our
skin does not look healthy, and when our hair is thin or falling out, we want
to understand why, and what we can do about it.
We can spend large amounts on different creams and beauty products, or cover
the problem with makeup, but ultimately the question most asked by women, and
unanswered by skincare regimes, is 'could this be hormonal?'
The answer is, of course, 'yes' – and if you read this book, you'll know
exactly how and why. By giving you a better understanding of the relationship
between your hormones, and common skin and hair problems, Dr Mandy Leonhardt
will help you find lasting solutions whatever your issue.
Whether you suffer with outbreaks, dry skin, sensitive skin, pigmentation or
are concerned about the way your skin is aging in midlife, What Every Woman
Needs to Know About Her Skin and Hair will provide you with the tools to
find more holistic and effective solutions which don't just scratch (or
moisturise) the surface, but which look at the root cause of the problem.
Drawing on both the latest research and on her years of experience as a GP and
specialist in women's health, Dr Leonhardt offers scientifically proven and
practical advice to both understand and better manage the condition of your
skin, hair and nails. She will explain which skincare principles (and types of
product) are worthwhile, and which aren't; and how you can effectively connect
the dots between your skin health and factors like nutrition and lifestyle. She
gives clear advice on which non-medical treatments are worth pursuing (and,
again, which aren't), and plenty of additional resources to help you find a
cost-effective regime which takes both your hormonal stage in life and your
bank balance into account.
