Great Reads: The Japanese Skincare Revolution

Being as interested in Japanese culture as I am, I was delighted to receive a copy of a wonderfully insightful and interesting book by renowned skincare guru Chizu Saeki, titled The Japanese Skincare Revolution.

This breakthrough book offers simple, natural remedies for everything ranging from wrinkles to acne, as well as tips and tricks for do-it-yourself skincare including moisturizing masks and lymphatic massages to keep skin young and healthy through all stages of life.

Saeki teaches you the proper way to remove makeup, reduce sagging and aging, fix hangover skin, help a double chin, and much more... including when to give your skin a break and how to not overload it with cosmetics.

In addition, all the methods discussed involve no expensive products, complicated steps, or numerous tools. Instead, the author supports low-maintenance skincare that doesn't require anything more than what you already own, plus the use of the most powerful tool a woman posesses: her hands.

With detailed, easy-to-follow instructions and step-by-step photographs and diagrams, along with personal anecdotes and unorthodox advice, The Japanese Skincare Revolution is sure to enlighten you about new and exciting ways to care for your skin... without spending a fortune or being pushed to purchase an author's product line. In fact, Chizu Saeki sells no line of her own (even at her personal spa), but instead makes recommendations and gives examples of the kinds of products she mentions in her book.

For a unique and informative look at the art of Japanese skincare, pick up The Japanese Skincare Revolution on Amazon for $19.95 (currently on sale for $13.57), or check your local bookstore.
