Review
'It is so free of false promises, celebrity endorsements or miracle fixes that it seems to come from another planet.' Sally Brampton, Daily Telegraph
Product Description
This is the only book to discuss the full range of issues from beauty myths to safety, cost and effectiveness. In recent years non-surgical therapies and miracle creams have appeared on the market in ever-increasing numbers, with ever-increasing claims of success. Yet consumers are confused about what is possible, safe and reasonable to hope for. Consumers are also overwhelmed by the range of skin-care products promising facial rejuvenation and skin-repair miracles - what are these revolutionary ingredients and how do they work? "Away with Wrinkles" educates readers in each of these areas, teaching both prevention and repair. Part one begins with the key facts about skin, explaining its structure and looking at why and how our faces age. Dr Lowe discusses the visible symptoms of ageing - lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven colour - before exploring the available treatments - from botox and line fillers to laser resurfacing and chemical peels.He discusses what each treatment consists of, the possible gains and risks, and helps you to choose if it is right for you. There is also analysis of topical treatments such as creams containing AHAs, fruit acids, antioxidants, vitamins, botanicals such as jojoba and aloe vera - these magical ingredients are often wrapped in expensive packaging, but do they live up to their glamorous adverts and celebrity endorsements, and crucially, are they worth it? There is also practical advice on sun protection, diet, skin care and cleansing, stress and relaxation and Dr Lowe also offers invaluable advice on choosing practitioners. If you have ever wondered whether it is possible to hold back the years, this is the book for you.

Not much use,
This review is from: The Wrinkle Revolution: Everywoman's Guide to a Younger Looking Skin (Paperback)
Felt the detail in the book could have read on the internet just by Googling.
At least price is cheap just as well because Dr Lowe's products aren't
