Review

A comprehensive program for improving the skin's appearance . . . An excellent blend of a beauty book and a self-help manual. -- Library Journal


Product Description

In Forget the Facelift, nationally renowned dermatologist Dr. Doris Day promises readers younger-looking skin no matter what their age or their skin's condition-without surgery-with her four-step life-makeover program that promotes a healthy body and mind.

In Step One, Dr. Day presents her Quick-Start Ageless Skin Care Regimen for instant results and offers readers recipes for making their own cleansers, masks, and scrubs at home.

Step Two includes Dr. Day's Ageless Skin Inner Makeover because beauty is so much more than skin-deep. Here, she lays out her plan for releasing negative emotions and utilizing relaxation techniques in order to eliminate stress's harmful effects on the skin.

Step Three is Dr. Day's Ageless Skin Diet and Exercise Program to help clear the skin from the inside out. It also includes facial exercises to help prevent expressions that cause wrinkles to appear over time.

For those who feel they might need a little more help in order to restore their youthful appearance, in Step Four Dr. Day explains in detail such wrinkle removers and rejuvenating treatments as Botox, Restylane, laser treatments, chemical peels, collagen injections, microdermabrasion, and other state-of-the-art treatments.

Rounding out Dr. Day's program for beautiful, glowing, ageless skin is a list of skin saboteurs that readers must avoid at all costs in order to keep their skin healthy and ageless. As well, you'll find tips for improving your overall appearance, including dress, hair, and makeup tips, which will make your skin look even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Subtract Years From Your Appearance..., November 2, 2005
By Skylar Forrest (New York City) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Subtract Years From Your Appearance Change Your Life," proclaims the author of the book 'Forget the Facelift.'

The title and back cover caption could not be more appropriate. The promise delivers, if you follow the program detailed in this book.

Firstly, Dr. Doris J. Day is one of the few doctors around that is in the medical field for the right reasons. I am fortunate enough to reside in New York City and be a patient in her private practice.

Secondly, Dr. Day believes in good health; physical health being equally important to emotional health--the introduction is entitled, "Beauty isn't only skin-deep." She discusses how the stresses of modern life can substantially take it's toll on one's skin. Sample menus, recipes-for meals and additionally for do-it-yourself skin treatments, facial exercises, fashion tips, and obviously a specific skin regimen and education targeting skin saboteurs are all included in this book!

Thirdly, I don't know too many dermatologists and/or plastic surgeons that don't "over prescribe." Dr. Day is rather conservative, insomuch that she would suggest surgery as an exception rather than the rule, potentially not even as an alternative treatment because it is not necessary.

Good skin does not need to be costly, or overly time consuming. Coincidentally, or rather brilliantly, Dr. Day also has created a skincare line simply called 'Good Skin.' Clean, easy, simple skincare.

Having radiant, glowing skin needn't be complicated, and 'Forget the Facelift' is a testament to that statement.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book, September 7, 2005
By Pamela J. Steigmeyer (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dr. Doris Day promised a younger me in 2 weeks with just simple lifestyle changes. Until I saw the results first hand, I doubted the possibility, as anyone would. I was surprised to find that these changes were not painful resolutions or deprivation; they felt more like self indulgences.

In her refreshingly smart and insightful book, Forget the Facelift , Dr. Day helps us confront the fact that dealing with life's stress is not easy but basically unavoidable in today's world. She explains how physically and emotionally there are saboteurs at every turn and navigating them is easier with a little professional medical advice as well as some sound ideas on treating yourself better. She gives us examples of how she has helped many of her own patients look years younger even before they had any treatment in her office.

But don't be fooled by the spiritual side of this brilliant doctor; her book is filled with medical and technical answers to questions we all have, written in a way that we can understand and use to our benefit. Understanding the physiology of skin really increases awareness of what damages us and what helps us glow. She lists ingredients to look for in beauty products when faced with the confusing array of choices. In addition, she includes what can cause problems and what her favorites are. She names names - there's no hiding from Dr. Day.

She also provides time saving skin care routines, quick ways to eat healthy meals, an explanation of ingredients, vitamins and supplements allowing you to figure things out on your own. These are all ways Dr. Day helps you become educated in looking great.

And finally, if all of her `pearls of wisdom' leave you still wanting more youth, she gives straight forward information on some basic skin enhancing procedures and treatments such as peels, botox, fillers, laser treatments, the thread lift and other new and non invasive (doable at lunchtime) procedures that you might want to consider.

Dr. Day has packed a great deal of valuable information in to a quick read. Take my word for it, it is well worth your time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Forget this book, November 9, 2006
By MeWorry?Gal (Bothell, Washington) - See all my reviews
Although Dr. Day is a dermatologist, I must say the information in her book was mundane and certainly not very new information. What was informative was her section on rejuvenation techniques that are presently available. Her focus on attitude, diet, makeup,and style brought nothing new to the table. Her section on hair loss was inadequate. This information should have been a 25 page pamphlet but certainly not a book. I will commend her for not hawking her skin care line too heavily like others have done (does Perricone ring a bell?). Just not very revolutionary.
