Blog: Updated Skin Type Solutions

Finding the right skin care products is a perpetual challenge for many people. Narrowing the field of products can save time, money, and aggravation.

Dr. Leslie Baumann, author of The Skin Type Solution, made a guest appearance at the Orlando Dermatology Aesthetic and Clinical Conference to sign copies of the second edition of her book, and offer encouragement and pearls to an audience that included seasonal professionals and newly-minted dermatology residents.

One of her key pearls: There is no single "best product." The best product is different for each person, Dr. Baumann said, and identifying your skin type is one way to help identify which products will yield the best results for you (and your patients).

I spoke with Dr. Baumann about the updates to the book, which includes categorizing products by price (video interview to come). So, no matter what your skin care budget might be, you can find an affordable skin type solution.
