Consiglio a coloro che sono appassionati o interessati alla cura della pelle, dei capelli e della bellezza di leggere questo libro.Questo libro potrebbe/dovrebbe diventare il libro MUST della cura della pelle.Perfetto anche per coloro che si stanno approcciando in questo mondo.La dottoressa Wong affronta la disinformazione in modo chiaro e approfondito. Fornisce tantissime informazioni su ingredienti, utilizzo, sicurezza, ed altro.Il libro è ben fatto. Le pagine sono spesse e la carta è di buona qualità.
