Loved the emphasis on ensuring healthy eating and gut health. This book was more health focused than product focused which was refreshing as many skincare resources will promote specific products than habits and/or diet.

This was not quite what I expected; I was interested in this book for its seemingly natural nutrition focus, given the cover and title, but it read much more like an ad for many different companies' products. I understand the need for including some specific brands or products, but this felt excessive. The foreword or introduction did state that the author does not receive payment for endorsing products, but . . . it felt at times as if that isn't so. Maybe it's my own prejudice about pharmaceuticals and expensive supplements.

This is a delightful book packed with information about cultivating beauty from the inside out. I really appreciated the emphasis on nutrition and gut health. I found it refreshing that, in a book with many medical references, the author also gave specific examples of supplements and topicals that he himself uses and recommends. Usually this would make me suspicious, but Dr. Tager clarified that he has no affiliations with any of the products or companies he recommends.

My Thoughts:
This book came to me at the perfect time. I have noticed in the past year that my skin has become more dryer and just not as right as it use to be I know age and eating has a bit to play in that but I feel that the year that we had COVID lockdowns I noticed staying indoors and not getting out and eating great I’ve seen a big change in it. So when I seen this book I had to read it. I am a big believer in taking care of my skin and this book helped and supplied me with a lot more knowledge to do that. If your interested in or believe what you put in and on your body can help this is a great book

This feels more like a health and nutrition book than a skin care book. It's very thorough and recommends a lot. Honestly, it felt pretty overwhelming for me. Perhaps some kind of format with shorter chapters and more succinct info would have helped for me.

This was a really good book. Especially for people like me with horrible skin. It didn't have it specific for a skin type but more like a catalogue for all types of food cause what kind of skin. I was always aware that if I had oily food, I'm going to have some sort of acne, but this book explained why it was happening. It had very good way of explaining bodily procedures and very catchy tables and headers to let you know what to expect next.

Aside from that, I also had not expected the text to be so in-depth about everything. That gave it a bit more credence, that there appeared to be thoughtful research into the information provided. It made it a bit more cumbersome to read than I was hoping for, but it was good to have the background. This is a book to read thoroughly maybe once, and then keep for reference of specific parts later on. There is some really good information that would be easy to pick out and revisit over time, as needed. You can fully explore the descriptions of how and why certain supplements and nutrients benefit health, or skim that on reviews and just concentrate on what, specifically, to try.

I liked that there were some inclusions of information on ayurvedic practices, in addition to the suggestions of procedures and name-brand products to buy.

This book offers an overwhelming number of avenues for improving skin and overall health, and is a good resource for information of why and how certain interventions, nutrients, and supplements are recommended.

I’m glad I found this book available on NetGalley! As someone who has struggled with her skin for well over a decade, seen multiple dermatologists and trying tens of thousands of dollars on different products, pills and treatments for my skin, this book gives a more comprehensive look into the many factors that affect our skin and how to choose foods, supplements, treatments and products that will benefit you. Lots of east to understand, not too heavily biased information in here written by an MD.
