Book Review - Skintervention

About the BookScott-Vincent Borba was no different from so many teenagers who suffered the humiliating ravages of adolescence. In his case, it was cystic acne and a mild case of rosacea. Also overweight, he hid his skin problems by becoming a master of applying tinted acne cream. So masterful that no one knew he had an array of challenges beneath the surface. The façade got him in front of the camera for several mainstream fashion companies, but he still wanted to find a more long term solution for his skin challenges. Propelled to a career in the health and beauty industry, Borba’s “aha” moment resulted from witnessing the healing effect of foods and supplements on his terminally ill father’s health. Taking it one step further, he discovered that when you nourish your body on the inside and outside with foods and products containing the same ingredients, the health of his own skin would improve as well. Energized by his own skin transformation, the line of BORBA products was born, where he could fuse topical ingredients with ingestible nutrients. He realized that many of the things you need to help create a solution to your skin concerns are already in your drawers, cabinets, and kitchen pantry!
In his new book, SKINTERVENTION™: The Personalized Solution for Healthier, Younger, and Flawless-Looking Skin (HCI -- $14.95—January 2011), Scott-Vincent Borba shares the same inside-out approach to beautiful, healthy skin that’s transformed the skin of his clientele of celebrities and thousands of other customers. The “red-carpet-ready plan” that brings results in as little as seven days!
Whether battling forehead wrinkles or brown spots, problem acne or sensitive skin, menopausal breakouts or clogged pores, Borba shows readers how to dig deeper (literally) to find unique skincare solutions--and the glowing skin that goes with it without breaking your bank account.  And his philosophy really does work for just about anyone ranging from normal, everyday people to the most beautiful faces in Hollywood.
As Borba explains, even the most expensive products on the market won't work unless we find the true source of our issues and feed our skin what it needs both internally and externally. By treating skin holistically all of its layers will work synergistically, revealing healthier, flawless, and radiant-looking skin. Armed with easy tips, to-dos, and techniques, Skintervention™ will help identify skin saboteurs and how to counter them with skin-friendly foods, products, and a few tweaks to our beauty routine. Borba shows us:
  • Simple, natural, and inexpensive do-it-yourself treatments that work in minutes with items from the pantry
  • Super-foods  in your grocery store for every skin challenge and more than a dozen eat-your-way-to gorgeous traditionally delicious recipes
  • Fast face fixes for air travel, winter skin, sunburns, hangovers. . . and more
  • Plus, The 7-Day Red-Carpet Ready Skin Plan that Borba uses for his celebrity clients--without the $5,000 price tag!

With Skintervention™, Scott-Vincent Borba shows us how we can regain the confidence to always put our best face forward.
