Internationally renowned dermatologist and research scientist Dr.
Whitney Bowe presents, for the first time, the connection between a
healthy gut and radiant, clear skin, with a 21-day program to maximize
skin health and beauty.
Every year, nearly 80 million
Americans will consult their doctors about their skin. In fact, skin
disorders beat out anxiety, depression, back pain, and diabetes as the
number one reason Americans see their doctors. Unfortunately, however,
the vast majority will receive only a surface-level treatment, leaving
the underlying conditions at the root of their skin issues unresolved.
Skin doesn't lie; it reflects overall health in unimaginable ways.
In The Beauty of Dirty Skin,
internationally renowned dermatologist and scientist Dr. Whitney Bowe
shows readers that skin health is much more than skin deep. As a
pioneering researcher on the cutting edge of the gut-brain-skin axis,
she explains how the spectrum of skin disorders -- from stubborn acne
and rosacea to psoriasis, eczema, and premature wrinkling -- are
manifestations of irregularities rooted in the gut. Lasers, scalpels,
creams, and prescription pads alone will not guarantee the consistently
healthy, glowing skin we all seek.
Instead, Dr. Bowe focuses on
the microbiome -- where trillions of microbes "speak" to your skin via
the brain -- and highlights the connection between sleep, stress, diet,
gastrointestinal health, and the health of your skin. With simple
explanations of the science, do-it-yourself practical skincare
strategies, and a life-changing 21-day program, The Beauty of Dirty Skin is your roadmap to great skin from the inside out and the outside in.
