A complete solution to the Mattis--Bardeen equations of the anomalous skin effect in superconductors (Phys. Rev. {bold 111}, 412 (1958)) is presented in the case of plane, bulk conductors. This solution shows good agreement with existing solutions in the microwave region, and for the first time, it correctly describes measurements in the far-infrared region. It turns out that the solution to the Mattis--Bardeen equations for the extreme anomalous limit cannot be used for a correct description of experimental results. In addition, our exact solution is also applicable to strong-coupling superconductors.
