Health Alert: Finding your skin type

(National) August 11, 2006 -

Let's face it. When it comes to buying skin care products our mounting options are mind-boggling.

Franshely Calero has the same approach as many consumers, "Whatever was new I'd say, well this must be good, 'cause it's new."

Mass confusion is why Doctor Leslie Baumann wrote "The Skin Type Solution." Dr. Baumann says, "Most people use the wrong products and spend way too much time and too much money on their skin. And then they're disappointed because they don't get the results that they want."
That's because most of us don't know our skin type. It's usually not just normal, dry, oily or sensitive. Dr. Baumann says there are as many as 16 combinations, "It's been 100 years since the typing system has been revamped. And the old system didn't take into account all the scientific advances that we have."

A doctor can help you, or you can fill out a questionnaire in the book to figure out your skin type.
Calero found, "I'm a dry, resistant, non-pigmented, wrinkler. And within the book not only did it tell me the products to buy, but I found out what kind of ingredients I need to look for in products."

Using the advice as a guide, Franshely found a winning combination for her combination skin and she says, "It makes me feel more confident."

Dr. Baumann says expensive products are not always better. What works well for one person may not for another because we all have different chemistry.

Her book is sold online or in major bookstores.
