Book Description
Brown skin has a naturally warm, glowing complexion that ranges in shade from yellow to olive to dark brown and black (Asian, Latin, African-American, and Native American skin). The extra melanin that imparts these rich tones and helps protect skin from the sun can also make brown skin vulnerable to discoloration, uneven tone, scarring, and breakouts. This unique book will help you enhance and protect the health and beauty of your brown skin, as well as your hair and nails. Dr. Susan Taylor, a Harvard-trained dermatologist, bases her advice on more than twenty years of experience treating patients in private practice and at the Skin of Color Center in New York City, which she founded.
Dr. Taylor explains how to:
. . . and much more!
- Attain and maintain flawless skin
- Avoid breakouts, discolorations, and ashen skin
- Prevent and camouflage scars
- Choose and use makeup for a perfect match year-round
- Style hair safely to avoid damage, hair loss, and skin irritation
- Detect and protect against skin cancer

A PLUS ++ for SKIN ADVICE, May 14 2008
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dr. Susan Taylor's Rx For Brown Skin: Your Prescription for Flawless Skin, Hair, and Nails (Paperback)
I have the 4 types of eczema that she talks about in the book, I agree with most of her ways to take care of my brownskin, hair is a different story, I can't see me perming my hair every 3 to 4 months otherwise I thinks this is a pretty good book I feel she knows what she is talking about so much that I'm making an appointment to see her.

Prescription for Skin Care, Jan 15 2011

This review is from: Dr. Susan Taylor's Rx For Brown Skin: Your Prescription for Flawless Skin, Hair, and Nails (Paperback)
The book is very informative, but Dr. Taylor in advising that women of color limit their exposure to perms, forgot to exclude petroleum products. Vaseline is petroleum. Even though petroleum products are good for holding moisture in the skin, no one would go to a gas station and put it on directly from the hose. I think Dr. Taylor should have recommended some natural products, like Nubian Heritage, Carol's Daughter, and even WEN. It is a good book, but it would be of even greater use if would have concentrated on natural styles as well.

A fan of Dr. Taylor's solutions, Jan 13 2010

This review is from: Dr. Susan Taylor's Rx For Brown Skin: Your Prescription for Flawless Skin, Hair, and Nails (Paperback)
It is a pleasure to read this book. I am so tired of books and products that because of ignorance about skin of color, worsen the very problem I'm trying to solve and/or introduce new problems. Offering solutions that work, the book is results oriented and written to be easily understood. Also, I am impressed that many solutions are very economical and easy to do. Looking for a solution to hyperpigmentation and painfully dry skin I went looking for a book to help. In 2004 at 55 years old, I discovered Dr. Taylor's first book. Within three months of following the book's recommendations I began receiving compliments on my skin. Friends said, "your skin is beautiful, tell me what you did." People I didn't know bothered to make their way to me to compliment my skin. My husband is full of compliments and loves to stroke my face. Her new book is as good as her first as regards skin. If interested, explore Dr. Taylor's website: www.rxforbrownskin.com. I stumbled across the website and was delighted to find a full line of wonderful skin care products. I know I must sound like a commercial. I'm a fan.
