What's really happening beneath the skin?

Skin Philosophy Training’s founder, Annalouise Kenny, has written a guide to skin health – The Science of Skin. Here’s a look at what the book has to offer

Introducing The Science of Skin, a comprehensive guide that explores a range of skin conditions, explaining the biological mechanisms behind these issues as well as providing practical tips and treatment strategies. Common skin conditions covered in the book include:

• Rosacea – this chronic and often uncomfortable condition affects many clients’ skin – and their confidence. Among other factors, you’ll observe facial redness and visible blood vessels. Rosacea requires a multifaceted approach to treating it, and the book explores genetic and environmental triggers and offers practical tips for managing the condition effectively.

• Acne – a common issue among teenagers and adults, acne is more than just a cosmetic concern. The book breaks down the science behind acne formation, highlighting the roles of hormones, bacteria and inflammation. It also discusses various treatment options, helping readers develop a holistic approach to managing acne.

• Pigmentation – Uneven skin tone and dark spots can be frustrating. The Science of Skin delves into different types of pigmentation issues, such as melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It explains the contributing factors and offers strategies for prevention and treatment, emphasising the importance of sunscreen and targeted skincare products.

Why understanding skin science matters

The book isn’t just about treating skin problems – it’s about understanding the “why” behind them. By breaking down the biological mechanisms that control skin health, you can make informed decisions about your skincare routine. Knowledge is power and understanding your skin at a deeper level can transform your approach to skincare, as well as nurture your clients’ confidence in you.

For everyone, everywhere

Whether you’re new to skin or a seasoned expert, The Science of Skin offers valuable insights that cater to all levels of expertise. This book is more than just a guide; it’s an invitation to explore and appreciate the science behind your skin’s health and beauty.
