Skincare is one of the fastest-growing retail segments in the United States. But despite how much money Americans spend on products designed to tighten wrinkles, close pores, and increase hydration, there's little advice about how to figure out which one of a million eye creams will suit your skin and solve your particular skin health concerns.
Enter Rio Viera-Newton, the beauty-obsessed best friend whose advice drives thousands of readers to New York magazine every week. Despite her popularity and trust, she's not an MD or an esthetician, but a devoted amateur who organically rose to fame when her detailed Google Doc outlining the products that worked—or didn't—on her journey to heal her acne went viral.
Let's Face It is a compendium of super-simple principles for healthy skin, helping readers move beyond branding or the recommendations of influencers to discover the remedies that will solve their skin concerns—and to find them in products at any price point. This book also includes:
- Rio's five pillars of skin care
- Fixes for issues on a skin-type by skin-type basis
- Guidelines on how to layer your products for the most effective routine, day and night
- A close look at the ingredients found in many skin care products
- Tips and lessons from first-hand experience
- An overview of a traditional Korean skin care routine
- And much more
-
Fans of Viera Newton's Strategist column will recognize the writer's same conversational, just-your-BFF-giving-you-good-advice tone and wit on the pages of Let's Face It, accompanied by colorful, playful — yet thorough and scientifically informative — illustrations by Laura ChautinFashionista.com
