100 mistakes ruining your skincare routine

What if the problem wasn't your skin, but what you've been taught to do to it?

You've already bought a cream on a friend's recommendation, followed a routine you saw in a video, and multiplied your products without knowing why. You're not alone. This book breaks down, one by one, the 100 most common skincare mistakes, from cleansing to purchasing. With the rigor of a pharmacist, and the rare honesty of saying when science is solid, and when it isn't.

By a state-certified pharmacist, founder of Paradermia · 225 pages · 12 bonus nutrition mistakes
Digital (PDF) €9.99 · Print (paperback) €19.90

Take control of your skin

What you have in your hands

Not a product catalog. Something to help you understand your skin, spot what's damaging it without you knowing, and build a routine that works.

100mistakes, from cleansing to purchasing, in ten chapters. Each takes less than two minutes to read, with the concrete action to do instead.
3levels of evidence, written for each mistake: limited, moderate, or solid. Never exaggerated. The sources are at the end of each chapter.
8tools to read your skin and your products, including several to fill out with a pencil: what is my skin type, my skin ID card, what your card changes, my routine by function, test sheet, my skin reacts, before buying, the words on the label.
0brands to sell you. Just enough to decode a label, and a seven-day plan to reset your routine.

A book that says when it isn't sure

At the end of each mistake, a word indicates what the advice is based on.

Limited evidencea principle of common sense, or a marketing point, that science has not formally ruled on.
Moderate evidencereal and consistent data, but partial or improvable.
Solid evidenceestablished evidence, trials, or recognized recommendations.

Limited evidence is not less true, it is simply less established, and you have the right to know.

Eleven chapters

Knowing your skin, cleansing, hydration, active ingredients, exfoliation, sun, imperfections, daily life, false beliefs, purchasing, and a nutrition bonus. Each opens with the object that summarizes it.
