Summary: A keeper!
Comment: Reviewed by Kim Peterson for Reader Views (5/06)
For those wanting to know how to take care of their skin-young or old-"Timeless Skin" offers a good how-to covering the basics and beyond. Easy to read and easy to understand, Ash explains the `what and how' of the three essential steps: cleansing, toning and moisturizing. Then she covers some important extras such as exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and deep cleaning the pores. All these steps can be done at home.
A most appealing aspect of her book is the information provided on professional facials. She explains the importance of the deep cleaning, exfoliation, hydration and relaxation available through professional facials. She details how often to use the services and lists important questions to ask when determining where to go. Ash also includes the different types of machines and why some are helpful and some actually aren't. Her section on what to expect alleviates any trepidation first-time clients might experience.
Ash devotes a portion of her book to skin types. Her assessment of damaged, sensitive and mature skin will assist people who are unsure whether they have these problems and what to do about them.
As a Mary Kay independent beauty consultant, I have received a lot of training about skin. I found that I knew a lot of what Ash shared in her book. Of most interest, and new to me, was the information about essential oils and natural and herbal remedies beneficial to our skin. I plan to try some of her suggestions.
I appreciate her mandate to never use soap on your face. I like her straightforward discussion of the sun's impact. And, I respect her no-nonsense assessment of the current trends and fads in skin care.
This keeper has earned a place on my bookshelf-but I won't leave it there. Any time I raise a question or experience a memory slip I plan to consult Ash's book to continue maintaining my skin's health for years to come. I also recommend this book for younger readers just becoming familiar with the long-term needs of their skin. Perhaps, they can avoid some of the mistakes and skin damage we "sun worshippers" caused ourselves during the sixties, seventies and eighties.

Summary: This is a great book for basic, useful information
Comment: I LOVE this book. I have a business teaching women relaxation and skin care techniques at in-home Spa Parties and found that the information here was basic enough to offer to my clients without being overwhelming. Let's face it; what product out there doesn't tell you it will solve all your aging issues? I like the fact that she doesn't list products to scurry out and buy, but gives you general things to look for.
Carolyn's book is divided into chapters that allow you to choose the info you need right now, and then go back later for additional information when you can digest it. I also had the opportunity to hear her speak and then visit with her for a few moments at the Natural Bodycare Convention this summer. She was just as helpful in person as she is on paper.
This is a great book and I'm looking forward to the release of her next one.

Summary: good, practical advice
Comment: I found this book helpful and straightforward. It was an easy read and I was able to implement many of her tips without spending extra money. And so far what I have tried has worked. There are no miracles, few absolutes, and almost no product bashing. Just simple ways to take care of your skin without hype. Ms. Ash also dispels some common myths about skin care and discusses topics such as sun exposure, basic skin care steps, and problem skin. This is a good start to learning more about keeping your skin in good health.

Summary: extremely useful book
Comment: As a health care practitioner, I appreciate having found a skin care book which I can recommend to my clients. The book is well written and pleasant reading, and Ms. Ash takes a wholistic and intelligent approach to skin care which clearly outlines the needs of our skin and how to properly maintain it. She also addresses attitudes and approaches toward aging gracefully and how to avoid some of the current trends in skin care which work against healthy skin in the long run. This book does not endorse any particular line of skin care product but sticks to straightforward facts about our body and its needs. It does, however, help the reader avoid the many very expensive skin care products on the market which are, in fact, less that healthy for ones skin. My clients who have read and begun using the information contained in this book (as well as myself), have had very good results with their skin, and we have been fortunate in finding products to meet our needs. Thank you.Sharon Kraus, L.Ac.
