Dr. Irwin’s Book

I wrote THE SURGERY-FREE MAKEOVER: All You Need to Know for Great Skin and a Younger Face for anyone who wants to reduce the signs of aging.

Cosmetic companies, spending millions of dollars, bombard us with ads promoting the latest skin-care products, lasers, peels, injectibles, and new technologies. I cut through the hype to explain what really works and what is worth the cost. And I am a consumer advocate with no affiliation or financial tie to any of the companies.

The average woman has dozens of products cluttering her bathroom drawers. Surgery-Free Makeoverdemystifies the product confusion and teaches you how to think about products and how to use them on a daily basis.

The Surgery-Free Makeover also gives you detailed information on cosmetic issues from the forehead to the chest, togeither with treatment options for each issue. You can also get detailed information on:

  • Skin care and anti-aging on a budget
  • Getting your skin ready for a big event, like a wedding or class reunion
  • Your skin and menopause
  • And much more.

Why spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on products and treatments when this book can save you time and money. Learn about your skin and your options so that you can make the best choices in preserving and enhancing your skin!
