Review by Herbert P. Goodheart for Simple Skin Beauty: Every Woman’s Guide to a Lifetime of Healthy, Gorgeous Skin
Rating:
As a dermatologist, I often discourage my patients from buying most “self-help” books that are intended for the general public because so many of them are either oversimplified or overly complex. Most offer limited, and, at times, misleading information. Many adopt a self-serving manner, selling products or trying to prove that their point of view is the latest “cure.”
Doctor Marmur’s book, “Simple Skin Beauty”, is a friendly, easy to understand, humorous guide that explains how you can clear up your complexion. It recommends sensible and economical OTC products, takes on and clarifies many confusing subjects such as the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer. She cuts through many of the myths of skin care treatment.
Readers will learn which treatments really work and which are wastes of money. She is not trying to sell any miracle potions or cures; rather, she has written a completely objective evaluation of all the legitimate treatment options available.
I can honestly say this is no less than the finest and most objective layperson’s book on skin care. It will serve as an invaluable resource for my patients and for me as well. I will have several copies in my waiting room.
Dr. Goodheart is the author of Goodheart’s Photoguide of Common Skin Disorders, Diagnosis and Management and Acne For Dummies.

Objective and wonderfully honest, Doctor Ellen Marmur clarifies subjects that may induce us to confusion.
Here are some interesting points you will find in her book:
1) The bare essentials: Your facial cleanser (p.59), Your facial moisturizer (p.69), and Sunblock vs. sunscreen (p.79).
2) Can I use my wife’s skin care products? (p.89)
3) How do I need to adjust my daily regimen for my dark (African-American) skin? (p.90).
4) How to read a label (p.109).
5) Five shocking facts about skin cancer (p.161)
6) Difference between miracles and marketing (p.276)
7) Conclusion: “… Wanting to look attractive (your personal best) is a healthy aspiration, and this psychology of beauty is powerful, but it has to be personal. The products you select should be what your skin needs (or an indulgence you desire), rather than something you are pushed into purchasing…” (p.354).

We wash it. Caress it. Pick at it. Curse it. Admire it. Worry over it. Kiss it. Abuse it. What is this highly acclaimed thing we fuss over so, you ask? Skin. While we all have it, not many of us know how to treat this largest organ of our body and while it is the first thing we often notice, it is most often the last thing we remember to care for. Skin is resilient and delicate, and though it has been with us our entire life we often don’t know the first thing about treating it with the respect to move us well into our later years. Thank goodness for Dr. Ellen Marmur, along with Gina Way, and their solutions guide to great skin, //Simple Skin Beauty//. Marmur breaks down the unpronounceable ingredients (many of which are quite toxic and/or unnecessary) slathered onto our skin daily, dedicates whole chapters to the importance of sunscreen and skin check-ups, and answers questions based on skin types, which she promises there is no such thing as! Dr. Marmur’s easy narrative has the feel of finally meeting the doctor you’ve been waiting for–insightful, myth-busting, and entertaining.
