Forget about the arsenal of cosmetic injectables. Yes they do work , usually for a very limited time. But here is a book that tells how to achieve really terrific results - LONG RANGE RESULTS - using diet, our own fingertips and hands, and the purest of creams and masks.

I love this book. First, it's very interesting to just read. And, thankfully, all the procedures that Dr. Zhang describes are amazingly easy to implement. I know; I've tried enough of them to see huge results - and in an amazingly short time.
Sometimes in just days.

I've seen dark circles under my eyes vanish, this in just one day's use of the recommended eye cream. The texture of my skin has become clearer and glowing; I get compiments all the time about my complexion. Wrinkles have greatly diminished too. I could go on. But I suggest you get this book and see for yourself the benefits of a holistic approach - based on Chinese medicine - to looking and feeling better.

I got this book several months ago. I am amazed by the information provided from this book as well as the results from these ancient techniques and rituals.

I followed some of the protocols from the book including making myself the Pear Mask and practicing the Energy Ball Qi Gong exercise. My face Just Glowed instantly! Not only does my face look younger, but I feel more calm and energetic!

Anyone in their late 50s like me and considers rejuvenating their face, body, mind and spirit naturally rather than a chemical approach should consider trying some of these time-tested none-invasive natural methods.

I consider this book a great investment towaeds natural prevention of aging.

This book is way too complicated for a regular person. Some of the items mentioned to either eat or use for an anti-wrinkle treatments (such as pigs feet or different fungi) are things that I would never use. I think the only way you could achieve most of these things is by purchasing her Nefeli cosmetic line, which is not cheap. The accupressure points are also very confusing. I would not have purchased this had I known this.

This book sounded wonderful from the 4 reviews I read, but I checked the Nefeli website, & discovered before & after pix from this book. I was dismayed to see the dramatic difference in those pix are results of lighting conditions.

Most of the "before" shots show obvious shadows behind & slightly below each person's head, or under their chin--compared to the "after" shot where the light is totally different. You can easily see the difference in light placement by noticing the reflection in the eyes. Manipulating lighting creates dramatic differences in shadows cast on the face, resulting in aging affects. Ever notice the poor lighting in retail stores? It's the same effect when you're in their dressing rooms, or look in retail store mirrors.

The most flattering lighting is horizontally level with your mid-face, whereas overhead lighting casts unflattering shadows, accentuating lines & sagging.

It's a shame they had to resort to lighting "tricks" to sell this book. I can't help thinking of Dr. Perricone's books, I thought his program was wonderful--his skin looked terrific! Then I read about his having had a FACE LIFT! Buyer beware.

Many women like myself are not happy with how time, gravity, poor diet, having children, not enough exercise or too much of the wrong kind of exercise and STRESS damages our face. Plastic surgery is very expensive, can be dangerous and unpredictable. It's refreshing to have a woman put time into researching a natural approach to anti-aging techniques. This book has given me knowledge and tools that are healthy which I can do on my own. Ping Zhang has pulled together all the aspects of life that adversely affects our skin and made this natural approach easy, if you are willing to put the time and effort into it. Her information on what to eat, how to exercise and massage your own face couldn't be more simple! I'm looking forward to using her products which will make my life simpler. Asian women have beautiful skin and I believe it has to do with how they manage their stress, using breathing and meditation techniques. Also how healthy their diets are and how they incorporate a spiritual aspect in all that they do. Even if you are unsure about having acupuncture, Ping gives many acupressure points that address the unsightly lines and bags and sags. I am delighted how I will be saving money by using her natural products and her non-invasive protocol instead of all the other unhealthy gimmicks that are out on the market. My $25.95 investment is an investment in MYSELF. Thank You Ping for all your hard work!!

TCM=Traditional Chinese Medicine and it works! Accupressure really helps my skin glow, amazing. (Just a couple of days of doing the accupressure exercises, I began receiving compliments like, "you're skin has a beautiful texture, what have you been doing?")

My qualms with the book? What do you think of using a Pig's Foot Mask on your face? That's right, the book talks of boiling and cutting a pigs foot which, refrigerated, you're supposed to apply to your face over night!

Eating Bone Soup is also suggested in this book. Eating meat and/or killing animals just so I can look good just doesn't sound right.

Besides, boiled bones to fight wrinkles? Staying away from meat is best. Meat has fats and these days hormones and chemicals that are bad for the skin, let alone everything else in the body. Insted, eat fruits and vegetables (drink lots of water too) and make your skin look gorgeous.

This is a beautifully written and in-depth "how-to" book for women of all ages. Anyone interested in natural, non-traditional Eastern medicine will find this book a fascinating read!!
Dr. Zhang gives an incredible amount of information in her book. She explains how spirituality, foods, Chinese herbs,and acupressure, to give a few examples, benefit health and beauty. It is left to the reader to pick a comfortable level of involvement. You can try acupressure or home-made herbal masks, or jump right in with, say, Chinese herbal remedies.
This book is a must-have for all women who take their health seriously, but don't believe in Botox or cosmetic surgery!!!

It is amazing to see the apparent youthfulness of older practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine and qigong. Most people had assumed that it was ethnic, but it's now becoming clear that it is a consequence of their health practices, that keep them active and looking young, well past middle age.

If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the face reflects your heart and mind. Shakespeare said, "For by his face straight shall you know his heart," and that is one of the guiding principles of this book. Like Shakespeare, the book tells us that the face reflects the inner you. And conversely, what you do to your face has effects deep inside you. Follow the program and make deep changes inside yourself that will be reflected in your face, your posture and the way that you walk.

This book is a wonderful compendium of tried and tested techniques for improving not just appearance, but the deep causes of age related changes. As a general principle, if something is going to do you good, it should affect multiple systems of your mind and body. The acupressure, stress management and natural techniques in this book should indeed help your appearance, but what is far more important is that they will have significant effects on your whole mind and body.

Though there is so far very little scientific research into the methods and techniques presented in this book, there is a ton of practical experience to show us that they work, and you should be able to prove it to yourself.

Highly recommended.

I have all her books and all her dvds.I use and aply the chinese way explained by Dr Zangs,and her products, to take care of my skin and to stay looking younger.IT REALLY WORKS.Thanks to her she has shared her family heritage and secrets with the public,by publishing this book.I have to say that this is the book that first taught me about "qigong".She teaches in her book some qi gong excercises for beauty,which i also practice,and they really work.
Because of the information in this book, the chinese therapy to restore beauty and get rid of wrinkles naturally,There is no need for Botox.

I Love this book. Started taking Yu Zhu & Jujube everyday. I have noticed a change and will continue to add chinese herbs to my life. Thanks Ping
