I bought this book in search of cures and palliatives for the dry skin on my cheeks, which has become a slight issue due to my use of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel to treat acne. The most popular commercial moisturisers have met with limited success, so I really wanted to experiment. The somewhat unusual solutions in this book have worked better for me so far.The book starts by explaining how fruit and vegetable oils can repair damaged, dry and sensitive skin. This includes carrot seed oil, cucumber seed oil and pomegranate seed oil, all of which came as surprises to me. Not only does the author explain how to use these oils in a program of skin treatment, but she explains the scientific reasons why they are helpful. Other useful chapters describe the uses of natural butters, and colloidal oatmeal. There's a lot of information packed into this short guide, and based on the results of using some of these treatments I can definitely endorse it.
