Ingredients Book
Hello everyone as I said before I am a new Esty loving this career so far, I am wondering is somebody could suggest a good book name and author that I can buy to learn about ingredients and a good book to learn more about Acne since is what I am really interested in learning to help my clients who suffer from it. I appreciate your help and time in advance.
Thank you very much,

Miladys Skincare & Cosmetic Ingredients Dictionary! Miladys has a bunch of great books on the whole field, I believe most of us used the basic Miladys Esthetics textbook when we were in school. You can get it from amazon, here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1435480201

I work in a day spa as an Independent Contractor... I am the only Esty there, so its kind of hard, i was hoping to work with someone to learn from. So for now, its trial and error trying to figure things out on my own... Lol

For acne education I highly recommend the late Dr. James E. Fulton's book "Acne Rx," which you can buy through his company, Vivant Skincare.
As for ingredients, since the studies are changing all the time, I prefer to use an online ingredient dictionary. I use Paula Begoun's "Cosmetic Cop" dictionary because even though I do not agree with her all the time (especially on her analysis of finished products), I still think she is thorough and incorporates scientific studies wherever possible into her ingredient information.
