Product Description
Japanese women are renowned for their beautiful skin, but until now there have been no books in English that reveal the secrets of the successful Japanese beauty routine. The Japanese Skincare Revolution is the first guide for women of all ages and races who want to have beautiful skin like the Japanese but don't want to spend lots of money on cosmetics and treatments to achieve it.
Author Chizu Saeki is a practicing esthetician and beauty consultant whose dream is to teach ordinary women how to become more beautiful. To achieve this, she writes books, teaches, and tours Japan, giving demonstrations of the techniques she developed over a career spent in the beauty industry. Her books have sold more than 3 million copies, and the revolutionary ideas presented in this volume have won the approval of Japanese and international skin doctors.
The Japanese Skincare Revolution is the distillation of all of Saeki's most essential techniques. Here, readers are introduced to a unique lotion mask-a moisturizing treatment for keeping the skin fresh and lustrous; massages for toning the muscles of the face; natural, no-nonsense remedies for wrinkles, sagging, oiliness, pimples, and blackheads; "warm care" and "cool care" for soothing the mind and body; water massages to energize the skin; and much, much more.
With photos and step-by-step instructions, Saeki shows you how to use your own hands to massage your face like a professional esthetician. She teaches you to use your eyes to judge what your skin needs, and not to overfeed it with too many cosmetics. She leads you toward a well-rounded, sustainable skincare routine, the results of which will amaze you. By following her advice, you'll discover that it's possible to have beautiful skin at any age-without spending a fortune.

There are some interesting techniques to maintain healthy skin in this guide to japanese skin care.Mostly photos- which are great for showing how to care for one's skin. The bits of wisdom are lovely and inspiring. Skin care is a huge market, but this woman seems to have her heart in it. Who know if these techniques actually work , but the approach is very holistic.

Love this book - totally improved my skin!,

This review is from: The Japanese Skincare Revolution: How to Have the Most Beautiful Skin of Your Life-At Any Age (Paperback)
I cannot say enough how much I love this book... easy, nurturing and women-positive suggestions. Not caddy and shallow like many "skin help" books. Advice is easy to follow and straight-forward. I will say however, that what is referred to as "lotion" is really what American's think of as "toner." However, when selecting one to use for the all-important "lotion mask," which I do twice a day you only need a HYDRATING Toner. I use Avalon Organic's Lavender Hydrating Toner for my combo/normal skin. It is AMAZING! Takes out your blackheads while hydrating and refreshing your skin... my ruddiness at the bottom of my cheeks is gone! B/c of the twice daily massages and addition of an Aveeno syrum and sunblock to my regime my 30-something skin looks FLAWLESS! Just don't feel pressure to buy expensive products any relatively natural or organic drugstore brands will do! Finally, I didn't want to buy the big sheets of cotton so I order Cotton Clouds that I wet and add toner to and then separate into thin pieces and lay allover my face like a puzzle for the 3 min lotion mask.

3-4 months experience with chizu saeki's skincare routine,

This review is from: The Japanese Skincare Revolution: How to Have the Most Beautiful Skin of Your Life-At Any Age (Paperback)
I have been following Chizu Saeki's skincare for about 3-4 months now. I can honestly tell you that her skincare routine is not a bad one even though it takes up A LOT of your time in the morning and at night.I can't say that all the time that you are going to spend massaging your face in front of the mirror is worth it, especially for young women. If you don't have wrinkles and stuff, you will not see much of a difference except that your skin is getting quite soft and a LITTLE BIT clearer. However, if you do have wrinkles, this skincare routine might benefit you in some extent. From my experience, most of the fine lines will fade away, just not the deep wrinkles but then again those may need more than just 3-4 months of massage and stuff. As one of the reviews mentioned before, her skincare routine is not cheap. You need to invest in more stuff than what you saw on the first few pages. The total investment can add up to hundreds of dollars if you are not that into drugstore products. Also, please take note of the lotion Chizu Saeki used to make her lotion mask. It is not the normal lotion we would think of. This lotion is something like a toner but not quite. If you want to see how her "lotion" looks like, just go to Nars counter and ask to see their hydrating lotion(which is what Chizu Saeki mentioned in her book) or go to Shiseido counter and ask to see their softner (which might be referred to as toner sometimes). 49 of 51 people found the following review helpful

Saeki san -- superb skincare mentor,
By Lily Shimizu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Japanese Skincare Revolution: How to Have the Most Beautiful Skin of Your Life-At Any Age (Paperback)
When I learned Saeki san had finally written a book for English language audiences, I ordered it immediately, knowing it would contain valuable wisdom and well-tested skin care secrets most Japanese women already know well. Saeki san is a beauty goddess in Japan (perhaps internationally in beauty-fashion circles). I've known of her for years, being a former Tokyo resident. She is featured on Japanese television and in fashion magazines all the time, and is highly regarded as a beauty expert by women of all ages. I'm finding her book so impressive, honest, and intelligent. She is a true advocate of taking good care of one's skin and overall health, and treating it like you would a precious, fragile gift. This book provides basic techniques and good habits to practice daily for taking care of one's skin, using one's own hands and intent to achieve positive results, no matter what products are used. She does not have a line of beauty creams to sell -- any will work well, along with her instructions. I really like this about Saeki san. For me it adds to her credibility. I am following her advice, with excellent results so far. She is so sincere about taking personal responsibility regarding skincare health and overall well being. At last, I am able to consider her my beauty coach and mentor, just as my friends and colleagues in Japan do.
