Skin deep : a dermatologist's guide to the science of skin care by
When most people walk into a department store, drugstore, or go online to purchase skin care products, they're overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices and outlandish claims attached to them. The skin care market is a multi-billion-dollar industry where fantastic statements are made, often with little scientific rationale. In fact, it's estimated that as many as eighty percent of the over-the-counter products have no scientific data to support their assertions.In Skin Deep, author Dr. Nancy Lee Silverberg helps you make that search much easier. It discusses the ingredients that have scientific evidence--data published in peer-reviewed medical journals. She lets you know, in the simplest way possible, which products, and specifically which ingredients, are backed by data and science and which are not. Offering valuable and practical information, Silverberg, a board-certified dermatologist with more than thirty-five years of experience, helps consumers navigate the maze of skin care products available in retail stores and online. She understands you want products that do what they say and make your skin look and feel better.

Theatrical, special effects and media make-up artistry by 
Beauty in a Box by
One of the first transnational, feminist studies of Canada's black beauty culture and the role that media, retail, and consumers have played in its development, Beauty in a Box widens our understanding of the politics of black hair. The book analyzes advertisements and articles from media - newspapers, advertisements, television, and other sources - that focus on black communities in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, and Calgary. The author explains the role local black community media has played in the promotion of African American-owned beauty products; how the segmentation of beauty culture (i.e., the sale of black beauty products on store shelves labelled "ethnic hair care") occurred in Canada; and how black beauty culture, which was generally seen as a small niche market before the 1970s, entered Canada's mainstream by way of department stores, drugstores, and big-box retailers. Beauty in a Box uses an interdisciplinary framework, engaging with African American history, critical race and cultural theory, consumer culture theory, media studies, diasporic art history, black feminism, visual culture, film studies, and political economy to explore the history of black beauty culture in both Canada and the United States.
