Skinny Confidential's Get the F*ck Out of the Sun

Bosstick Lauryn Evarts Bosstick Evarts

Description

The in-your-face go-to skincare guide from mega-influencer Lauryn Evarts Bosstick, founder of The Skinny Confidential brand The Skinny Confidential's Get the F*ck Out of the Sun is the practical, yet incredibly fun and accessible, preventative skincare bible by lifestyle guru Lauryn Evarts Bosstick. We all have our ever-growing list of skincare questions: What products are essential for a nightly routine? Will a jade roller actually take care of hungover, puffy eyes? Why is sunscreen so important, and does it really need to be applied every day? What oils and serums are best for glowy, dewy supermodel skin? Lauryn dives into all this and more with a voice reminiscent of a friend at a boozy mimosa brunch who has a little more experience (and a lot more research) under her belt. From product and beauty tool recommendations to Lauryn's personal experience with facial massage, fillers, Botox, lymphatic drainage, and cryotherapy, this authoritative and cheeky book is essential for a DIY generation that's all about shaking up old ideas about skin care and transforming the beauty industry. Lauryn interviews other top influencers such as Kristin Cavallari, Patrick Starrr, the Summer Fridays' cofounders, Shea Marie, Chriselle Lim, Jillian Michaels, Stassi Schroeder, Aimee Song, the Ladygang, Mandy Madden Kelley, Amelia Gray, Delilah Belle, Bobbi Brown, and Justin Anderson and skin-care doctors and mavens including Dr. Dennis Gross, Dr. Jason Diamond, Sonya Dakar, Georgia Louise, and Dr. Barbara Sturm to get real-deal insider tips and tricks, making this book the go-to resource for preventative skincare with the signature pink Skinny Confidential spin.

FOREWORD
BY
Dr. Dennis Gross
TOP NYC DERMATOGIST AND CO-FOUNDER OF DR. DENNIS GROSS SKINCARE

Lauryn s reputation preceded her-particularly among dermatologists. When I met her in person for the first time, I already knew about her militant skincare routine and her compulsive sun avoidance, specifically her driving gloves. I will never forget the first time that I saw those white gloves.
I would never have been able to convince my teenage daughters to wear them, but it was easy after Lauryn s endorsement.
I remember thinking, How f***ing cool is that?! She has just made sun protection trendy and stylish while also protecting her skin from UVA/UVB and the sun spots and wrinkles they cause.
After speaking more with Lauryn about her skincare routine, she checked all the boxes to earn the distinction of my best patient. She was the first to admit she s addicted to skincare and obsessed with beauty. Her passion is a good thing.
Dermatologically speaking, Lauryn s alabaster skin is pristine. Her complexion is radiant, poreless, and clear, with no sun spots or signs of any sun damage whatsoever.
But as impressive as her complexion is, I have always been most impressed with Lauryn s ability to make skincare and science cool and relatable. That is not an easy task.
Trust me, I spend all day long at my practice groveling, begging patients to use sunscreen. After one blog post, Lauryn has people running to buy full-face sun shields and hot pink UVA/UVB protective ski masks. I remembered thinking, What is her secret!?
After spending more time with Lauryn, it became clear that her super power is her ability to connect with people. Lauryn bridges the gap between skincare guru and unapologetic content creator. If you know Lauryn, you know she keeps it REAL.
She loves everything having to do with skin and is an avid student, always wanting to learn more. She appreciates science, which to me is fantastic. I am a self-proclaimed science nerd, and we bonded right away when discussing skincare on her podcast. Seriously, we could have talked skin for hours.
From a very young age, I knew I wanted to be a doctor. I ve always had an underlying desire to help people. I remember there was a moment when I saw a mole on the back of a bus driver s hand-it was a black growth that I feared might be skin cancer. I mentioned something to him as I got off the bus. That s when I realized dermatology was for me. I loved that you could make a visual diagnosis-I didn t need an X-ray machine.
When I met Lauryn, I recognized she had the same desire to help others. I immediately saw her hunger for knowledge and admired how she used that knowledge to help others. Whether she is tackling a taboo topic head-on, opening up a conversation that was previously nonexistent, or asking if I am going to sweat today, she is always advocating for people to be the best, most curious version of themselves.
Regarding skincare specifically, Lauryn and I share a lot of the same philosophies. For at-home skincare, there is no magic formula. You need to create a regimen of different ingredients that are working to build collagen, protect against free radicals, and target your specific concerns. Modern clinical skincare can change your life if you do it right. For in-office procedures, treatments like Botox or fillers should be used to enhance your natural features-the goal is to achieve your best undone look. You don t want to look like a completely new person when you leave the dermatologist s office.
Lauryn s dedication to being a lifelong student is just one of the many characteristics that sets her apart from her peers. Skincare and science go hand in hand-and there are constantly new innovations, new ingredients, and studies that require ongoing education and understanding of how skin works.
If you are just starting skincare now, don t freak out! It is never too late to start a skincare routine. This book is not only filled with Lauryn s knowledge, but also tips and advice from the best in the industry.
Oh, and by the way, with Lauryn s help, Michael (Lauryn s husband) lost his Botox virginity that day in my office.
