It has to hold the rest of our organs in, maintain our precise body temperature, keep out toxins and radiation, and manufacture vitamins. We use it to feel the world and each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eSkin Deep\u003c\/i\u003e explores why the skin is so important for our health, from why wrinkles form and whether collagen supplements actually work, to how Botox affects not just faces but emotions and what the long term impacts are of tattoos. It asks: can we really stop our skin from aging? Is there such a thing as a healthy tan? And does washing with soap actually make us smell worse? Blending the latest research with expert interviews, Alice Klein meets burn survivors, spends a day in a Botox clinic, talks to dermatologists and tattoo artists, meets scientists working on radical new gene therapies, and visits a lab in Japan making robots with living skin; all to provide a deep understanding of the body's boundary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Klein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399425536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399425537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury SIGMA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.02w x 1.00d","brand":"Alice Klein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997591318783,"sku":"9781399425537","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/skin-deep-alice-klein-9781399425537","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
