7 Years Younger: The Revolutionary 7-Week Anti-Aging Plan is from the Editors of Good Housekeeping and its premise is simple: follow this 7 week plan and you’ll look and feel younger.
Great advice from reliable experts
We don’t doubt that’s true since the book is full great advice on the basics: drink a lot of water, protect yourself skin from the sun, exfoliate, and get plenty of sleep. It’s tough to overstate the importance of these fundamentals, especially they’re backed up with specific details on the best ways to hydrate, which kind of products to exfoliate with, and how often to use them.
Good Housekeeping has collected advice from a reputable team of experts on both the beauty and nutrition side. Our only regret is that there was no cosmetic chemist on their expert panel. Without someone who knows formulations, the advice of professionals like aestheticians and dermatologists can fall short at times.
Detailed and useful information
Perhaps the best part of this book is the simple breakdown of what you need to every morning, noon, and night to care for your skin. There’s no appeal to use high-priced procedures and over-hyped products, they just tell you to religiously adhere to a basic care routine. They help you understand when an at home or at store product is appropriate to use and when you need to seek dermatologist help.
We were relieved to see plenty of discussion devoted to proper sunscreens use which is probably the single most important tool you can have in your anti-aging arsenal. And there’s lots of information on retinoids which rank as the second most important class of ingredient when it comes to fighting skin damage. They even do some myth busting which we love, for example they say there’s no science to back up the wives tail that you need to rinse your hair with cold water to “close the cuticle.”
Occasionally misses the mark but we still recommend it
The only thing we really didn’t like about the book is that some of the authors do swerve toward pseudoscience on occasion. For example, they recommend using caffeine to reduce under eye puffiness. But for the most part this book offers solid beauty advice that you will can easily put to good use. It contains close to 400 pages of useful content organized into 11 easy to read chapters covering skin, makeup, hair, diet, fitness, and more. We loved that the book is written like a blog, meaning that it’s broken down into easily digestible bits and that each article guides you through the content with clear, outline-like headings. All in all this is a book filled with solid, no nonsense advice and we recommend it.
