The Clear Skin Prescription: The Perricone Program to Eliminate Problem Skin at Any Age FROM OUR EDITORS

The Clear Skin Prescription delivers a comprehensive program that incorporates Dr. Perricone's trademark three-tiered approach: anti-inflammatory diet, targeted acne-fighting nutritional supplements, and breakthrough anti-inflammation topical applications. There are 35 delicious, nutritious recipes developed for the program by award-winning chef Bernard Guillas.

FROM THE CRITICS
Publishers Weekly
Perricone, adjunct professor of dermatology at Michigan State University and author of both The Wrinkle Cure and The Perricone Prescription, bases his work on a simple premise: aging skin, and other dermatological conditions are the result of inflammation at the cellular level. To offset this inflammation, Perricone recommends a specific diet. Readers who follow Perricone's prescription diet are advised to avoid starchy foods and any foods that are high in carbohydrates (including many fruits and cereals). The focus is on fish, omega 3 fatty acids, protein and antioxidants, which will effectively reduce the level of cellular inflammation and produce more radiant skin. This new book reiterates this information, but uses the research and findings to assist readers of all ages, specifically adolescents and young adults with acne. A 28-day diet program, glossary of yoga exercises, and discussion of nutritional supplements is included to guide the reader toward better skin. For the most part, readers will find little here that isn't printed in one of Perricone's earlier books. But for new readers, this book may be of interest. Though his theories may still be considered contentious in dermatological circles, one can hardly argue against a regimen that dictates a healthy diet, regular exercise, and good hygiene. (Sept.)
