5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for the serious beauty therapist!, 21 Oct 2008

By	Pro Beauty Education "Beauty Therapy Author w... (UK) - See all my reviews

One of the outstanding features of this academic text is its format. Its written text and illustrations are extremely well laid out and easy to follow; with clear font types used and an excellent use of colour. It is easy on the eye and most importantly helps the student easily disseminate the in depth information. As a beauty therapy lecturer I recommend this book to students as it covers all the foundation material that the beginning and advanced student needs to be a successful therapist. In this book the authors clearly illustrate their extensive experience of the beauty therapy industry as the book is written from the perspective of the advanced therapist teaching all the techniques and tips that have been gleaned from salon experience. Highly recommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars No no no, 22 Dec 2008

By	Claire McGarvey - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is the main syllabus text in my college for beauty specialists. I am exteremly surprised by the positive review given and feel I had to give my contrary opinion. I have already studied pathlogy and disease and have read countless beauty,skincare, disease and dermatology related books and I was very surpirsed the inaccurate information given in this textbook.
The book does not clearly explain the concept of contraindications, and the difference between local and total and also there is a lack of consistency in the way the contradindications are listed for each topic. The skin pathology chapter contains inaccurate information, acne is classified as a bacterial infection and eczema is deemed as congenital (neither of these are accurate in my opinion), also I think the explanation of dermatitis is unclear. The book does not contain any photos of skin or nail diseases either.The section on skin analysis is vague and does not provide any clear guidelines for determining skin type nor is there sections for homecare advice for different skin types or dietary advice. The information on natural marks gives ingredients but no recipes. The list goes on and on..
I read this book from cover to cover in about two hours and I didnt really learn anything new from it. Overall I would advise choosing a different text book, Beauty Therapy Fact File bu Susan Cressy seems far more indepth.
