Product Description

This natural skin care program is designed around the principle that the face reveals what the body feels. It incorporates whole body healing to prevent and counteract signs of aging without surgery or harsh chemicals — and at no cost. Derived from massage, aromatherapy, acupressure, and traditional Chinese healing arts, these gentle techniques produce a more youthful face and lead to a healthier lifestyle. The book describes the layers of the skin and its function as one of the body’s major organs, and shows how to use touch and massage on the facial pressure points to improve the appearance of the skin and the health of the other organs. The simple techniques take just minutes to do and are easy to include in regular morning routines like putting on makeup or shaving. Breathing exercises, routines for specific problems, and affirmations to rid the body and mind of toxins round out the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome addition to Alternative Medicine reference collections, June 8, 2007

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Drawing upon her more than thirty years of experience and expertise, "Ancient Secrets Of Facial Rejuvenation: A Holistic, Nonsurgical Approach to Youth & Well-Being" by Victoria J. Mogilner (a certified acupuncturist, Chinese medicine practitioner, aesthetician, and tai chi instructor) presents a holistic alternative to caring for the skin without the use of chemical and surgical procedures. Advocating the use of facial acupuncture to counteract the signs of aging and which takes only a few minutes each day in the form of an 'Acupuncture Facelift' process that involves lightly pressing certain points on the face, "Ancient Secrets Of Facial Rejuvenation" also features strategies for attaining outer beauty and inner beauty through health nutrition, essential oils and aromatherapy, tai chi, qigong, and self-massage. A welcome addition to Alternative Medicine reference collections, "Ancient Secrets Of Facial Rejuvenation" is especially recommended reading for anyone concerned with rejuvenating their facial skin without resorting to plastic surgery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic, yet informative. I recommend, February 8, 2008

By	C. Chung "Selicia" (Chandler, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Ancient Secrets of Facial Rejuvenation: A Holistic, Nonsurgical Approach to Youth and Well-Being (Paperback)

The author does a wonderful job at covering a lot of topics holistically yet simplistically with detailed information on the subjects. It's a quick read, sensible and I especially liked the chapter where she speaks of eating for the seasons. Also, the book gave me an opportunity to look at my face and study the damages that my cellular body may be going through. Though I wish she elaborated on that particular chapter I was more than happy to have purchased the book. Since then I've look into a few other ancient Chinese and Japanese, and also Indian forms of reflexology... The whole concept of eating simply to live simply is...Perfect! Keeps us humble, full and energetic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Gem, March 10, 2007

By	K. Blanc (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As an esthetician and holistic health practitioner, I am always seeking knowledge which will be of benefit to myself and my clients. I believe that I have found a real gem.

The author's extensive experience, coupled with a gift for written communication, has yielded a surprisingly comprehensive reference. Do not be fooled by the book's smaller format. It is packed with truly valuable and usable information.

Thank you, Victoria Mogilner, for creating this little treasure!
