It is a very good book with lots of facts in it. My only critiscm would be that to find something in particular is not easy. ie I was looking for brief outline of the changes to the epidermis caused by a) Age, b) Sunlight etc. I didn't find it under epidermis I found it under skin, which yes is appropriate but a little confusing when trying to discover how the epidermis works. But it is all in the there you just have to look I guess and this will become easier as I get used to looking in there.
All in all though a very good which was recommended to me by my teacher and she should know.

a bit to in depth for what you need to know

I found this book a good reference for my beautician course but the book was to much in depth and hard to understand in some subjects.I would suggest the book "the BEAUTY THERAPY FACT FILE" BY Susan Cressey.
