As an Exercise Physiologist, I don’t just measure wellness by the number on the scale. I evaluate the person as a whole. And, I expect the same of any health professional. If there’s one dermatologist in the world that can truly see beyond the skin, it’s Dr. Tony Nakhla. Understanding that it’s everything that happens beneath the skin that affects it most, Dr. Nakhla looks at habits, nutrition and lifestyle when treating his patients. The Skin Commandments is a doctrine, by one of today’s most brilliant, visionary and caring dermatologists, for all of the things we can control to have the healthiest and most beautiful skin possible.
