Grade 7 Up –A comprehensive look at skin and skin problems that will be informative and reassuring to adolescents. This book dispels the myths that abound regarding the causes of acne while providing an in-depth look at the physiology of skin problems. It begins with a examination of the skin itself, the various layers and composition, followed by an extensive discussion of “the life of a pimple,” including a listing of the various types of blemishes. Causes and aggravators of acne are presented, followed by advice on do-it-yourself remedies. Finally, a discussion of when to see the doctor and the future of acne treatments rounds out the highly readable, encouraging text. Some aspects of the content are technical and require careful reading, but overall the book will be understood by most readers. As usual, the Silversteins interject some of their own experiences into the text, enlivening and adding interest. Several other titles are available on the subject, including Jonathan Zizmor’s The Doctor’s Do-It-Yourself Guide to Clearer Skin (Lippincott, 1980; o.p.) and Kenneth Flandermeyer’s Clear Skin (Little, 1979), but current findings regarding the relationship of sun exposure and skin cancer supercede the earlier books’ recommendations regarding sun treatment. With its up-to-date information and relevance of the subject for most adolescents, this is a good choice for libraries serving young adults. –Denise L. Moll, Lone Pine Elementary School, West Bloomfield, MICopyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.

While acne has long been a problem for adolescents, in recent decades–the last fifty years specifically–acne has been on the rise among adults as well, particularly among women. Many scientists have traced this upsurge to changes in the dietary habits of North Americans. The Clear Skin Diet is designed to help those who suffer from acne to understand what it is, why they have it, what it has to do with their eating habits, and what they can do to prevent it or lessen its impact. The Clear Skin Diet introduces the acne diet and lifestyle. Dietary requirements for protecting the skin are also listed–along with suggested food supplements when they cannot be easily met–and summarized, as well as mind-body medical interventions that can influence acne hormones and lessen their impact. Most interesting are the 50 acne-preventive recipes that are provided, along with information on how one can locate the ingredients that are no readily available in most grocery stores.
