Ageless Beauty

A very informative book with lots of good advice that needs to be adapted for those of us who simply can't afford to buy all the premium brand labels, or spend money on spa treatments and facials. If you're looking to make some overall improvements or feel like a reinvention, but your budget won't comply, it could seem the tips and advice are aimed at a specific audience, namely, Those with plenty of money to spend on designer skincare ranges and higher end make up brands. However, no one who's feeling in need of a lift and some self-improvement need feel it beyond our reach because we can't shop at the counter of Chanel or Dior. Research some really inexpensive but effective alternatives and you will most certainly find them, with (trust me) exactly the same results. As an example, one of the most talented makeup artists who does Youtube make up tutorials was blown away by a primer he found that cost less than £4, and his endorsement was correct, in my opinion. So as I say, just read, use and exploit the advice with more focus on the techniques as opposed to the elitist brands. As an indicator, I recently read that one of the best performing moisturizers to be tested alongside all the big names in the industry of skin care was found to be modest and classic, Nivea cream. If that doesn't work for you, you'll find something that will. You don't have to be minted to look your best. Good luck!

Let’s start at the beginning - the chic illustration and mat cover are alluringly high quality and the title promises a lot. In a world awash with online “beauty hacks” and “insider tips” it’s bold to devote an entire book to the subject. And so, the fact that this fancy looking little publication exists seems to promise something beyond what’s available online. In reality however, the best thing about this book is the cover & title. The prose is stodgy, and the content borders on patronising. I can’t imagine there’s a grown up woman in the western world who doesn’t appreciate the importance of properly taking their make up off, moisturising and using a decent SPF. The illustration on facial massage technique is pretty basic and more instructive versions can easily be found online. For free. The brand recommendations were relatively pointless as the reasons for highlighting them were not clearly explained. In short - don’t buy the book and instead spend the money you save on good quality sun block and go online to watch a beauty vlogger you trust.

Covers advice for three generations - I am in the mature segment. Some of the advice is obvious to me as I am older but I still found it useful as one reads anything in the hunt for useful tips as you get older. Interesting sections on posture and how to sleep better. A number of the recommended brands are French but can be bought online.eI have immediately upgraded my cotton cleansing pads https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07737QNJH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's great advice hence the rating. Will i ever follow through with any of it - probably not. I am left admiring those that do and with an appreciation of our french counterparts who work way harder than this british woman intends to. Beautifully laid out. Very clear. Ive tried out some of the methods and they do work. Bottom line? Im too lazy for this book basicially.

I'm 61 and this book has made a huge difference to how I look and feel - I have glowing skin after following the book's suggestions.
