This is an informative illustration, a colour-coded medical illustration, which is very detailed and matches very well with the educative intention of the book. It produces a cross-section of all three main layers of the skin which are the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis and labels it meticulously. The essential organs such as hair follicles, sweat glands, nerves and blood are well defined. It is the picture which turns the skin into an intricate, breathing system of organs. It offers viewers a ground-level, scientific insight that demystifies the way their skin works, responds, and heals, and is the gift that gives them a lot more than superficial knowledge of skincare.
