Se gli occhi sono lo specchio dell'anima, la pelle è la superficie che svela lo stato di salute del nostro corpo. Vero e proprio organo, il più grande, confine estremo tra noi e il mondo esterno, interagisce con tutto ciò che contiene e con l'ambiente. Pucci Romano ci insegna il "linguaggio" della pelle con ironia e leggerezza. In un libro divertente, e al contempo scientificamente autorevole, la dermatologa raccoglie una preziosa miniera di consigli e informazioni: descrive la struttura, l'anatomia e la fisiologia, passa in rassegna i tipi di pelle e le età della vita con le loro specifiche esigenze. Scopriamo così che i segnali che quest'organo ci manda non vanno trascurati e che ciò che manifesta non riguarda esclusivamente l'universo dell'estetica e dell'apparenza, ma anzi, che il confine tra inestetismo e malattia è spesso virtuale. Pucci Romano ci svela in particolare la verità sulle malattie dermatologiche più frequenti e ci insegna a leggere i segni spia di patologie interne, sfata miti e leggende su pelle e alimentazione; infine ci aiuta a orientarci tra ruoli e funzioni dei cosmetici, illustrando gli effetti che i principi attivi provocano non solo sulla pelle, ma anche sull'ambiente.
