Lady MB: When I was a little girl (long ago) I read my grandmother's ladies magazines beauty sections. Just like today there were make at home recipes along with new products and advice. I grew up on a farm with fresh produce and so I had cucumbers, tomatoes, oatmeal, strawberries and much more to experiment with. This book is so awesome. Even though it is a few years behind, there hasn't been too much progress made since this book came out. I agree that retinol is a must because I began using it as soon as it was available along with my homemade apple cider vinegar toner and I have no lines around my eyes. I cannot recommend this book high enough for its good honest advice because dark spots are HARD to remove!

Kieradee1: Dr. Youn offers practical advice from DIY at home suggestions to proven products to help slow the aging process. He explains in detail the process for surgical procedures and the pros and cons. This was probably one of the best skin care books I’ve read as it’s very thorough. And I love his sense of humor! Excellent book for all ages.

EM: I used to be a beauty therapist and have kept my hand in over the years. This book is amazing. I love watching Dr Youn on YouTube and I've learned a lot from him and now from his book. I'm really impressed

Retired K Teacher: I saw the author of The Age Fix on PBS and decided to order his book. I have sensitive skin and had no idea what skin products would work on my face without wasting a lot of money through trial and error. The book is easy to read and has a lot of information about skin and your health. The most helpful section for me was the chapter containing the names of actual products for different skin types. Also, which products to use in the morning and at night. I bought those for my skin type and now use them. If you read a lot of books on healthy living, you will probably skip some sections included in this book.

Mighty Mo: I am a person who, because of allergies and sensitive skin, has not used many cosmetics or skin care regimens for several decades. Instead, I have been limited to avoidance of pollutants and radiation, eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep and exercise. A couple months ago, I heard an interview with Dr. Youn on the radio and decided to purchase the book. Here is what happened. I selected skin care products in my price range to experiment with Retinol at night, antioxidants under a zinc oxide sun block during the day, and Vitamin B3/Matrixyl/hyaluronic acid/ceramides at will. The selections were based upon learning concepts in the book so I could try Dr. Youn's recommendations or make educated choices in the market place. I used the products on my face, neck and hands. After about a week, my face and neck became irritated and I was able to determine that the problem was just a touch of glycolic acid in the Retinol cream. I switched to a Retinol/hyaluronic acid formulation and the irritation was greatly diminished. After about five weeks, my face and neck looked hydrated and healthier, which was nice. The surprise was my hands. They looked less bony, plumper and more even in...

Jenny: This is a terrific book for anyone who wishes to look younger or, like me, has spotted the first signs of aging and wants to stop them in their tracks. There is information about home and salon treatments, and surgery, written in a friendly and light-hearted way, as if consulting with an old friend (who happens to be very knowledgeable about skincare). Dr Youn has covered every area possible, and is very honest about the fact that surgery is not for the vast majority of people who seek it. I have changed much about my skincare regime since reading this book: it will tell you what ingredients to look out for in moisturisers and is frank about what works and what doesn’t. Essential reading for anyone who wants to invest in their skin to prevent premature aging.

Anita: I love this book, the information about what works and what doesn't is priceless. The recipes for home made treatments are fabulous, the apricot mask is especially good. I have used the treatments and followed Anthony's advice within a very limited budget for 3 weeks, 2 people so far have commented on how nice my skin looks! The book is humorous in parts and very honest, it has really helped me develop a much more effective (and far less expensive) skin care regime.

Mrs. A. L. Stubbs: What a great book. I read an article in The Times about this book, and bought it in the hope of a few 'insiders tips' on lotions and potions I could buy. I had never heard of Anthony Youn before, but I really loved the tone of his book and he comes across as a decent kind of guy, emphasising that really, we should not get so hung up on our appearance. BUT, if you ARE considering various treatments, he gives a very clear low-down on what's out there, and the pro's & cons. I don't have any wish for surgical procedures, Botox, etc, and it was lovely that he wasn't pushing that. He offers plenty advice on lotions & potions that he knows work (I have to trust him on this) and not all expensive either. Also some home-made treatments too if that's your thing. Plus some make-up advice, nutrition... etc etc.
This book is crammed with info and if just one or two of the many recommendations work for you, then it's worth it.
I'm so pleased I bought this, I know I shall refer back to it time and time again. I just wish I was twenty again and could take on board all his advice from the beginning!
