About the Author
“The SKIN WISE book wasn’t part of the original plan. In fact, it leapfrogged two other books I was already working on.
In my regenerative aesthetics practice, I find myself giving the same talks every day, explaining how skin actually functions and how different skincare ingredients interact with its layers. At a conference, someone told me, “I wish I had what you just explained in a book.” That sparked the idea. Writing down what I already knew and said out loud seemed like it would be quick and easy.
Of course, it wasn’t. What began as a simple reference turned into months of work as the vision sharpened: how to make thousands of ingredients understandable, organized, and useful. It became the classic story: “We do this not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy.”
SKIN WISE: A No-Nonsense Guide to Skincare Ingredients is the result. This book is designed to make the fundamentals of skin and skincare ingredients easy to understand, and to make it effortless to look up the ingredients you care about most. Its mission is simple: to empower people to make smarter, more confident skincare choices so they can enjoy their best skin ever.”
