Dr. Denese goes over every beauty concern and offers recommendations. It was like having a virtual consultation! I got my own questions answered and more. A wonderful bonus was her eating plan and suggested list of supplements.

It was refreshing to read a beauty book not promoting one magic ingredient or product. Dr. Denese offers the most current scientific knowledge on beauty in a very readable style. I couldn't put the book down and kept taking notes on things I wanted to try. Highly recommended for anyone interested in anti aging or beauty.

This review is from: Dr. Denese's Secrets for Ageless Skin: Younger Skin in 8 Weeks (Hardcover)

My mom bought this book, at the time I was having recurring skin problems (which was normal for me)she showed it to me and I couldn't put it down.
The next day I bought one for myself - I saw a dramatic difference in the appearance and texture of my skin, in one week - without her products.

I began taking only the fish oil (because vitamins are so $$$ - and finding the ones she reccommends isn't easy) noticed a major difference in my overall skin moisture levels and the soft manageable quality to my hair.

I then purchased her products on QVC - and the results are amazing. For me, i had acne as kid an thought that it would simply disappear as I matured, not so - i had dry skin and clogged pores and outbreaks around my mouth. The dermatologist would give me a series of antibiotics, but after that, it was going right back to "delicate" products that clogged my pores, his advice paled to the information I received in this book. (and for a lot less money)

For people with problem skin, this book should be required reading. It explains skin from the inside out - and isn't merely about "feel good products". Dr Denese is honest, helpful and most of all her scientific approach is (continuosly) effective.

I bought this book (and the DVD of the PBS Special) after watching the Dr. Denese during pledge week on PBS; I use her defense day cream (SPF 30) and amazing exfoliating facial pads faithfully. Both products are wonderful. As I finish up the current line of cosmetics I am using, I am moving into her skin care line.

The book is quite an eye opener. First and foremost, she does not pad it with filler. She gives you the true scoop on Growth Hormones, middle age hormones, menopausal skin, botox, fake botox - you name it, she gives you the hard hitting truth to products and services we all fall prey to.

She provides information for every type of skin - normal, dry, combination, oily, etc. From the lightest to the darkest complexion, she chronicles every problem and its solution.

Dr. Denese also provides some interesting facts on diets and stress and the impact to our skin. Some things are basic, but some of the information regarding blood insulin regulation was new to me.

Dr. Denese chronicles her own mistakes in caring for her skin, as well as patients who come to her clinic.

I truly believe this is the best written and most up to date book on skin care right now. And I believe her line of skin care can work for everyone.

Her complete skin care line is sold on QVC and on various internet sites.

I highly recommend her products, this book and the PBS Special DVD which is also sold on Amazon.
