Editorial Review:

It's not your age that's causing half of those lines and crinkles. It's your life.

Now, Amy Wechsler, MD shows you how to de-stress your skin and take years -- years -- off your face.

In 9 days.

Liking the way you look is vital to your health and happiness. But that's not easy when life runs at warp speed -- you're simultaneously coping with ever-increasing demands: dependent kids, aging parents, or both; shopping; cooking; laundry; money pressures; and more, more, more. Good bet you're superstressed, tightly wound, sleep-deprived -- and it shows.

Sure, but your thirties you've accumulated the first signs of normal aging: crow's feet, a bit of saf, some broken capillaries. But stress aging -- how the madness of modern life affects your physical features inside and out -- is today's biggest skin and health challenge.

Happily, stress aging is very reversible. And it takes only a few days. While you may never be able to totally turn off all the pressure (if only!), Dr. Wechsler has plenty of combination strategies -- from her own favorite stress buster to her number one wrinkle reverser -- to help you turn back the aging effects of tension and time. She'll also teach you how to slow down and, to some degree, reverse the natural aging process. This is your guide to feeling, looking, and living young.

In her book, she shows you how to:

• Find out your SkinAge with a groundbreaking test that reveals how old (or young!) you really book
• Personalize a 9-day renewal plan that's right for your face, wallet, and psyche
• Understand the different cosmetic procedures and products available today
• Adopt a mind-beauty regimen that will keep your skin -- correction: your whole body -- looking and feeling terrific -- not just for now, but for life.

The mind-beauty connection is powerful and can dramatically affect how well -- and how fast -- you age. The rewards for soling it go far beyond a quick fix. They're transforming. You'll not only look better, you'll also sleep better, feel better, and likely lose unwanted weight as you begin to feel healthier, less stress, and more alive.

Great Book!:

I thought this was a wonderful book full of important skincare information and tips. I particularly liked the whole body approach to skincare - if you are feeling good about yourself and your life your skin will reflect that. Certainly the author has a unique perspective on her subject since she is both a dermatologist and a psychiatrist and that perspective is clearly reflected in the book. I think this is a great read for anyone interested in taking better care of their skin.

glad i bought it:

i purchased this book after seeing the author, amy wechsler on t.v. She gives great practical advise that is easy to read. i especially liked that she gives specific products to try.

do they teach dermatologists how to care for skin?:

As a licensed esthetician, I was excited to find this book that seemed to finally make the connections between the adrenal system, stress, the skin and premature aging. Too bad that the actually useful and consistent info could have been edited down to about 1/3 of the actual book. Did this lady have an editor, and did he/she notice the blaring contradictions? i.e. Buy any old moisturizer because they're all about the same, and find one with lanolin cause that works great. But, oh wait, lanolin is a common... more info

Thorough Skin Care/Wellness Book:

Excellent book about skin care. The primary audience is female, but men could get a lot out of this primer too. An incredible amount of science is provided to explain the functioning and problems of the skin. The author has a 9 day plan that is fairly predictable but helpful for those who have not had a healthy lifestyle. Wechsler provide a few helpful product suggestions and I know use a sunscreen she uses. (Neutrogena for Sensitive Skin SPF 30) While I have read quite a few books on skin care, I still... more info
