Customer Reviews

Recommended to My Patients

It was a pleasure to find a book about looking good that was not only an easy, enjoyable read, but which was full of scientifically accurate information about the skin and skin products. Dr Newburger's compassionate approach to her patients is reflected in the lively case histories. The book's emphasis on what changes are normal with ageing, and how to look your best regardless of your age, is practical and down to earth. With the market flooded with miracle products for ageing baby boomers, it is a pleasure to have an accurate guide to what really works and why. As a physician, I have frequently found myself recommending this book to my patients.

Looking Good

Just read an excellent book "Looking Good at Any Age" by Dr. Newburger..it really debunks the hype around the so called miracle beauty products and tells the truth about what skin and beauty products can really achieve against aging.It's easy to read in a case history format and helpful both to teenagers and seniors, a must read for aging baby boomers.

A must read for every woman

For the first time, here is a book that is informative as well as entertaining - illustrated with great stories about real people, their beauty and their blemishes. The author cuts through "beauty care hype" and tells you what really helps aging skin. My only regret is that Dr. Newburger didn't write this book years ago!

What is happening to me now

Dr. Newburger has written a superb book which explains what is happening to us as we age. Ideally, we age with grace. However, Dr. Newburger teahes us the tricks that were formerlly unavailable to us as laymen. I fully intend to follow the regimen recommended for my age and skin type. If only I could keep her in my house to consult as each wrinkle and spot appear. The lucky ones can be her patients. Next best, is to buy the book.

Credible, readable

This book is a very credible and readable book. Dr. Newburger does not talk down nor preach (except perhaps to use sun screen!). I would highly recommend it.She has provided a book that is useful for women of many ages who want their skin to look its best. This doesn't mean one has to have cosmetic surgery or collagen (although these options are discussed in a very interesting way); rather Dr. Newburger talks about what spcecific beauty products work (naming names), what consumers should look for on lables, etc. One also gets information about the psychological -- when is caring TOO much about your looks unhealthy. And the book has vey useful information regarding real skin problems of a medical nature. I for one am passing on the collagen, but I got my cucumber pads for my eyes.
