Acknowledgments
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY FRIEND and coauthor, Karolyn Gazella, and my sister, Susan Mesko. Without their persistence, patience, and constant encouragement, this book would never have come to fruition. I also truly appreciate the support I have received from all of those connected with MyChelle Dermaceuticals, especially my sister Marian Hathorne.
I would like to thank my publisher, Norman Goldfind of Basic Health Publications, for having the confidence in my passion and vision to publish Return to Beautiful Skin. Many thanks, too, to my editor, Diana Drew, who was a delight and a pleasure to work with.
I certainly appreciate Dr. Mark Hyman’s ringing endorsement of the concepts and approach to wellness that I take in this book.
And as the lights of my life, my husband, Chris, and our daughter, Winter Michelle, deserve unreserved thanks for their boundless love and support.

Foreword
I have spent my professional medical career showing patients how to manage their health problems within an entirely new frame of reference. My goal is to help people understand and address the causes of illness, rather than just treating the symptoms.
To change medicine and fix a broken healthcare system, we must first feel empowered. Return to Beautiful Skin empowers readers by showing them how to make better choices when it comes to their body care products.
According to the coalition of nonprofit organizations known as the Environmental Working Group, every day one in five adults are exposed to cancer-causing ingredients in personal care products. On average, adults use nine different personal care products each day that have ingredients that can potentially contribute to illness.
As we enhance wellness through diet and lifestyle, we should also be evaluating all the products we use, including our skin care products. Our skin is the largest organ of the human body. Like a sponge, it can soak up toxins from the sun, the air, the food we eat, and, yes, even the products we use on it. Conversely, when the skin is in good condition it also protects us. Just like other key organs and systems in the body, our skin will be vibrant and healthy if we nourish and protect it.
In this book, the authors describe the importance of effectively nourishing and protecting your skin. There are helpful lists of ingredients to avoid, as well as information about nontoxic, therapeutic skin care ingredients. You will also learn how to customize your skin care routine. There are separate chapters on important issues, such as acne, sun care, and aging skin. Finally, the authors will teach you how to enhance the health of your skin from the inside out.
We are constantly bombarded with quick-fix antiwrinkle and skin care cures that don’t work or only work temporarily. The authors of this book will show you how to Return to Beautiful Skin safely and permanently.
Myra and Karolyn have devoted their professional careers to the natural health industry. Myra is the president and founder of an innovative skin care company and is a leader in the field of dermaceutical development, safely combining the best of nature and science. Karolyn is the coauthor of the Definitive Guide to Cancer, as well as numerous articles and books. Together they create a powerful team to disseminate information about truly effective, nontoxic skin care.
If you want your skin to look and feel younger or you have a specific skin concern, this book is for you. I highly recommend it.

Introduction
L et’s face it: We baby boomers have made it quite clear—we are committed to renewing and maintaining our skin’s youthful glow. Just look at the millions of advertising dollars spent pushing skin care products, potions, and special surgeries. We are bombarded with messages on radio, on television, and in magazines. We are obsessed with our skin. Everything from acne to old age can cause a sane person to go mad, spending a fortune on products to smooth those worry lines, take away the shine, or soothe the dryness. It has been reported that we spend more on skin care products than we do on education. In a twenty-four-hour period, the average person uses about ten different cosmetic and personal care products, bolstering a multibillion dollar industry.
Skin care is everywhere. Numerous lotions line store shelves, celebrities push their signature products on the Home Shopping Network, and countless anti-wrinkle products proliferate online. It’s confusing and can be overwhelming.
While it’s hard to avoid the lure of quick fixes and miracle wrinkle cures, today’s sophisticated consumer is tapping into her inner skeptic. I have talked to thousands of people over the years, and I’ve learned that most want more than false promises—they even want more than products that work. Certainly, they want the products they use to be effective, but they also want those products to be safe. I understand these demands because that’s what I want, too! Although I’m the founder and president of my own skin care company, first and foremost, I’m a consumer, just like you.
I also know what it’s like to be upset by what the morning mirror reflects. I know what it’s like to be self-conscious and frustrated. Here is my story.
MYRA’S STORY
I understand firsthand how devastating it can be to have unhealthy skin. As a teenager, I developed mild acne, which continued to worsen with age until I reached my mid-thirties. Being the object of ridicule by other kids was horrible. As a young adult, I was ashamed of my acne breakouts. It was utterly unbearable. I spent many years being shy and feeling ugly.
Unfortunately, my story is the norm. Our skin is not only the largest organ of the body it is also the most visible. We humans tend to judge others by the first glimpse we have of them, and we judge ourselves by the reflection staring back at us in the mirror.
Every morning I hoped to see calmer, smoother skin on my face, only to find yet another acne lesion. I fasted, detoxed, and cleansed—with no improvement. I tried every acne product I could find, only to be disappointed time and time again. I became so frustrated that I decided to take control of the situation myself. I found that when I made my own skin care concoctions in the kitchen blender, with fresh fruits, yogurt, and honey, I always saw an immediate calming and soothing effect. This led me to develop more home recipes. The drawback was that I had to make these fresh every day, which was neither practical nor efficient. I was also missing one key element—concentrated bioactive ingredients.
While I worked in the holistic health industry all my adult life, I felt I was not the perfect “poster child” for holistic living because of my flawed skin. I was always searching for that special product that would help make my skin radiant. Finally, after twelve years of working as an educator and salesperson for several different holistic health companies, I decid
