SKIN ENLIGHTENMENT

One mistaken assumption has led women to mistreat their skin. A top dermatologist clears up the complexion confusion. By Lindsy Van Gelder

E

ven women who make a point of taking impeccable care of their skin may be surprised to hear that there are more skin types than astrological signs. And if, like most people, you don't know your type and its attributes, the products you're using probably aren't ensuring a stellar future for your complexion.

That is the premise of dermatologist Leslie Baumann's new book, The Skin Type Solution (Bantam Dell). Baumann's approach grew out of her frustration when "at least ten patients a day" asked her for product recommendations, and she found herself spending more and more time explaining why one skin cream absolutely doesn't fit all.
