In late fall I participated in a conference call and webinar with dermatologist, Dr. Leslie Baumann . I have to say I was really impressed with the Dr. She was nice, friendly and interested in what we had to say and ask. Then I read her book and was even more enlightened. It was informative and written for anyone to easily understand. She goes into great detail on each skin type and products for that skin type as well as dispelling some common myths and ideas about skincare ingredients . In a wow moment, in our phone conference, Dr. Baumann said her current research was looking into isolating the gene for oily skin. That got my ears up . I wish her all the luck in that and hope it's soon.
As I said, I really liked the book ( which is not a new release) and one of things the Dr. stresses in her book and I can't stress enough either- read ingredient labels. Take the time to read what's in a product to know exactly what you're getting and if there's something in there that won't work for you. If you get the Dr's book she has list for each skin what to look for and what to avoid in ingredients. I've gotten good at this over the years and with my oily skin need to make sure nothing I use is too emollient. So I scan for things like shea butter and oils.
There is now a new website as well- SkinTypeSolutions.com. This website has Dr. Baumann's Baumann Skin Type questionnaire, which after taking you will be emailed what type of skin you have ( there are 15 and you may feel , like I did, that you fall into more than one. I am typed as sensitive , which I most definitely am not, but the other parts are right ) and then there will be pages of product on the site geared to your skin type. What's nice is not all are high end . There's a large range for you to research out as well as basic skin information and guides.
