SALE: VHS priced at 30% discount! (Price shown already marked down.) "This is the story of skin. No research has explained fully why one person's skin behaves differently from another person's. That is the challenge and the opportunity for estheticians and all skin care specialists: to know and use both the science and the art of skin care." So says Peter T. Pugliese, MD, perhaps the leading authority on the science and art of skin care. Physiology of the Skin II is one of the industry's premier textbooks, used by many esthetic schools to present the facets of skin physiology and the role of the esthetician in identifying and treating skin problems. Organized in two sections - Science and Application - Dr. Pugliese provides illustrations and well-organized, detailed charts to help readers understand the material. (383 pages)
