Ageless Skin: A guide to treating your skin from nought to ninety

As I approach sixty years old, I often look for resources in helping me look and feel younger. This book has helped me with ideas to take better care of my facial skin. I even discovered something I was doing that was not helping my skin. I'm so glad I learned this. Not only did I learn a lot, I also enjoyed the book. Kathleen Birch made this book unique in the way she combined her personal life journey in the beginning of each chapter and in the second section of the chapter detailed information on how to take care of the skin. I also liked how this author separated the chapters by decades. I was able to easily go to the chapter that was most applicable to me. I appreciate how this author is humble and honest. I was able to connect with her while reading this book. I highly recommend purchasing this book. I know I am so happy I did!

I did so enjoy this book. It’s an intriguing combination of Kathleen’s journey through life and a lot of really useful beauty guidance. I found it both entertaining and instructive, a good combination! The guidance is delivered with a light touch - this came as no surprise to me as I’ve been fortunate enough to benefit from Kathleen’s skills as a therapist for nearly 30 years and her friendly approach has been evident since day 1. This is one Yorkshire lady who knows what she’s doing and does it very well. Highly recommended.

This great book is beautifully pitched between science and personal stories, and the way it’s written leaves the reader with a warm feel-good feeling. Kathleen focuses on the positives that a little extra self-care will bring, rather than endorsing the latest fads or hyping particular dermatological treatment regimes. It is an honest book that will leave you wanting to treat yourself better and with the knowledge to do so. It’s a book that is appropriate for all ages. You could equally well give it as a gift for your mum, daughter or friend. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!

The book is a good balance between information on the skin and all its layers; how to care for it and a sympathetically written personal story. There are some very useful tips and advice on how to have good skin for example of sun sense and life-style advice. As the book is arranged by decade of life, it is possible to dip in and out of sections but there some sections that should be highlighted as essential reading at any age.Very readable.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book.I have been picking it up at every opportunity I get. Having a 3 month old baby it’s hard to find any time to sit for long periods to enjoy a book but this book is perfect as you can pick it back up easily and with each chapter being a different decade it’s really handy and feels like a natural pause.It’s helped me to consider how best to look after my skin with my changing hormones and also my babies skin.Being in my 30’s I now have the wisdoms from this book to guide her up to my age and beyond with the reassurance I am giving her the best advice. Lovely read and really enjoyed it. Would recommend to anyone seeking advice about how to treat their skin the best they can.
