A quick read packed with helpful skincare tips.
The author offered me a chance to read her book and write my honest review, which follows.Ms. Knight starts out by letting the reader know that she worked in the healthcare advertising industry, with a Masters degree in clinical research.There are seven sections in her book, as follows::Section 1: How to Understand Evidence, goes into detail how the reader can distinguish between marketing fluff vs proof. I found this information particularly helpful in realizing that the price of skincare does not guarantee quality; basic moisturizers work. If the buyer is looking for something more in skincare products, you should look for key words in the advertising such as “clinically proven to work” including a measurable difference in results.Section 2: Skincare Products and Moisturizers covers products you can use at home that are clinically proven to slow or reverse signs of skin aging. In this chapter the author includes a bonus section on recipes for making your own facial mask and scrub.Section 3: Tools and Devices covers tools for your skin that have been proven to work, including a copper infused pillowcase to minimize facial wrinkles, facial lasers and infrared light technology.Section 4: Natural Remedies, Nutrition and Hydration covers exercise, including facial exercise, purifying facial steams, makeup tips, supplements and healthy food choices.Section 5: Hair, Brows, Teeth, Lips, Neck and Muscle Tone gives the reader tips on how to maintain a youthful appearance.Section 6: Avoiding aging, covers ultra violet light, sugar, smoking and alcohol.Section 7: Building Your Youthful Routine includes a chart for putting the author’s tips to good use.

This is a very useful and practical book on anti-aging skincare!
I recently purchased and read Rachel Knight’s “Evidence Based Anti-Aging Skincare for All Budgets.” I am a woman entering midlife, so it’s a priority to take care of my skin. I found this particular book to be the most useful of those I have seen. The author has great knowledge in the subject matter and shares evidence based science on how to prevent and care for aging skin. She talks about different types of skincare products and their efficacy, as well as procedures such as laser. She discusses natural remedies and nutrition, food, diet, supplements, and hydration. She also touches on hair, teeth, lips, and muscle tone. She presents information on how to avoid the appearance of aging before it starts. And what I found to be the most useful item in this book is the worksheet she provides at the end, where you can keep track of how these skincare routines are working for you. I would recommend this book to friends, as I found it genuine and easy to comprehend, and the author has the proper credentials.

Lots of fun tips/advice but also information
We live in a world full of toxins and I like to take the holistic approach to anything that I can. I use a lot of coconut oil on my face, but honestly when it comes to face-wash and moisturizer, I haven't typically gone the holistic route. But this book really opened my eyes. I also really enjoy that there is a nutrition section, because it is so important to overall health - including skin! This is a great read. Lots of fun tips/advice, but also lots of informative information and facts.

Its a must.
This book is a must ... with so many beauty products in the market it’s hard to know what to buy and what’s just hype... this book educates you on how to look past “marketing fluff” and actually how to figure out what the product contains and how to basically read between the lines. It has really helped me out with establishing a skincare regimen .

Easy to read with a lot of helpful info.

Great book! Recommending to all my girlfriends!
Wonderful book! As someone who is obsessed with skincare, I'm always looking for new ideas and products to try. I loved the fact that the author explains the scientific process of testing whether something really works or not—there are so many false claims and magic potions to wade through out there and this book offers a guide to products that really work. I was also pleased to see some suggestions, like drinkable collagen, that I became familiar with while living in Asia but haven't quite caught on here yet.

A great read, brings awareness of your daily routine!
I found this really helpful to keep me on track with my diet! It made me realise how lacking my skin care can be. I found the research bit interesting to make you aware about what products to trust and what not to! The author goes in to detail of years of experience when it comes to researching products, which gives it the best of ages so you know the experience is there! It will make you a little more aware of the ways to revamp your skin routine for sure! 5*!

Poor information and repetitive
Very poor information, honestly all you need to know is shown in the preview of the book. Also, it repeats itself to desperately fill up pages, that are already in presbyopia friendly print. Not worth buying.

Informative, Innovative, and Interesting
This book did not contain overly complicated scientific mumbo jumbo, it was simple and easy to understand and offered some really helpful information. Rachel writes in such a way that you can't help but feel obliged to follow her instructions.There was also a mixture of over the counter solutions as well as a few homemade recipes - these were helpful alternatives which I haven't seen used in a book in this genre before!Definitely worth a read if you are looking for a no nonsense, straight talking book on anti-aging.

Refreshing and useful read, definitely recommend
It was really refreshing to read about beauty from a scientific perspective. We so often don't question claims made by the beauty industry, this book gives you clear instructions for how to do this for yourself. Having these tools is even more useful than being told by an expert their opinion on each and every product or anti-aging practice! Thank you!
