Product Description
From Amazon
The fountain of youth isn't a mythical oasis bubbling in a Himalayan cave; it's a practical guidebook for keeping age away from your face. "Wrinkles are forever," says Gerald Imber, so "the objective is prevention." Don't smoke, don't sunbathe, don't gain and lose quantities of weight, and, best of all, don't run (it's hell on the elastic skin fibers). Imber critiques the multitude of skin lotions on the market and describes maintenance routines for every age bracket. They make sense. They are not complicated. And they don't require a pilgrimage to Tibet.

From Booklist
Dr. Imber, a plastic surgeon, calls the interval between the ages 30 to 55 the "youth corridor," when most changes brought on by aging occur and can be controlled. His book is a commonsense guide to skin care, diet, vitamins, and exercise as alternatives to drastic surgery. Not confusing aging with beauty (an entirely separate phenomenon), Imber advocates prevention, increments of practical procedures, and earlier surgery for younger patients. The book promotes a combination of self-help and professional intervention and is definitely not some "New Age paean to positive thinking." Everyone has 20 square feet of skin that is thinner than most fabrics. If we avoid the evils of smoking, yo-yo weight gains, facial exercises, and running while substituting good nutrition, antioxidants, alpha hydroxy acid creams, and proper skin care regimens, we might be able to forestall collagen injections, skin peels, dermabrasion, and laser wrinkle-removing for a few years. This is a book for readers who yearn to remain forever unchanged by the reality of aging. Patricia Hassler
