Dirty Looks The Secret to Beautiful Skin Whitney Bowe 9780316509831 Books Reviews

• I LOVE this book. It's filled with a lot of great information about skin and how to properly care for it. I've had acne for over 30 years and it is now under control. I followed several of her recommendations (topical probiotics and Evening Primrose Oil). I've started using Probiotics on my face and what a difference. Normally when I get a facial I have quite a few extractions (blemishes that need to be cleaned out). After using probiotics on my face for a few weeks, I only had one small blemish at my last facial. My aesthetician and I were talking about how much better my skin is and how great probiotics are both internally and externally.
• The GMA interview was enticing so I ordered the book, it is an eye opener and I am rating 4 stars because at times is repetitive so I was skipping pages to get to the next chapters. Overall interesting confirmation of why so many people have issues and how you can avoid skin problems.
• I have been anticipating this book for quite some time; Dr Bowe is easily the best qualified physician in North America to tackle the subject of healthy skin. A practicing dermatologist and research-publishing scientist, Dr Bowe translates complex topics and illuminates them in east-to-understand ways. The real-life cases from her clinical practice make it easy to see how diet, stress, lifestyle etc manifest in skin health (or disease). Given the title, there is extensive discussion of the emerging microbiome science and the ways in which microbes can mediate skin health. Refreshingly, this science isn't oversold in the book. There are plenty of practical solutions but Dr Bowe knows full well how complicated skin conditions can be, and each person's environment, genetics, resources and lifestyle might manifest in the skin in different ways. So, it's a good balance of research-based information, hope for future microbiome-based solutions, and steps to take in the here-and-now.
  Beautifully written by a pioneer who dismantled the dogma which stated there was NO relationship between diet and acne. There are still lots of research questions on that score, and Dr Bowe refrains from overselling any dietary "cures" for acne (and other common skin diseases), but there is plenty of practical information in the book. The book has something for everyone, whether general reader or healthcare providers.
• I'm so glad I bough this book. As someone who takes pride in their skin this book shed so much light into a lot of my skin issues. In fact, I stopped drinking cow's milk and was shocked at how quickly just that improved the quality of my skin. I'm actually in the processing of tweaking my diet to support my gut and anticipating to see even more improvement.
• While this may not be the best written book nor does it have everything I might have wanted I have to say Dr. Bowe deserves a ton of credit for going against the medial establishment and getting to the truth ... your diet impacts your skin unquestionably. Her protocol and suggestions worked to improve my Rosacea for sure. Anyone suffering from Rosacea could benefit from this book.
• I've been desperately trying to solve my adult acne problem, so I got excited about the book when I saw Whitney Bowe promoting it on TV. It took me too long to get through because it reads like a textbook, and now I can't remember everything (also because it reads like a textbook). There are NO recommendations of products in the book. She just refers you to her website drwhitneybowe.com for everything she recommends. It is pretty fascinating what she talks about, but after reading the whole book I'm still kinda lost on how to fix my acne. I wish I would have skipped the book and gone straight to her website. She does provide you with a plan though. I'm excited to try it but am still skeptical about whether or not it will actually eliminate my acne. We will see.
• I've only had time to implement the dietary changes so far, but I was amazed how fast I was able to detox from sugar and carbs. Feeling great and lost weight!
• I met Dr. Bowe several years ago and shared my concerns with my skin ongoing battle with Rosacea along with fine lines and wrinkles as I’ve hit my late thirties. I love treatment options for that instant improved appearance, however, I wasn’t feeling so great on the inside. I experienced brain fog on the daily and began to notice unsightly changes to my already reactive skin. I developed acne like rashes around my chin and my body became rattled with stress. The holidays left me in a “holidaze” stuck in a loop of dieting/working out/overindulging. My skin got more angry and that’s when I picked up Dr. Bowes book, Dirty Looks (previously, The Beauty of Dirty Skin) Included in her book A three week skin routine, her “Bowe Glow” meals and her DIY face mask recipes! All of which, are backed by science. Throughout her book, Dr. Bowe weaves her extensive research and scientific explanations in a way that educates and empowers the reader to take control of their skin and overall sense of well being. With my new acquired knowledge I took the first few steps on the path to better skin by following her “prescription” for self-care from the inside out. I started trying the recipes, her signature “Bowe Glow Berry Smoothie” is delish! And ultimately, ridded my body of the diet/sugar free foods.
  
  I’ve discovered a “new normal” of balancing my work/home life by managing my stress through Dr. Bowe’s suggested exercise regimen and I’ve even dabbled with meditation. I’m feeling more in control of my health and that has boosted my self esteem and confidence. #thatboweglow
