false 394236 4 "Plastic surgery isn't the only way to keep the aging process at bay. With the proper care you can have fabulous skin in your forties, fifties, sixties and beyond," promises author Nicholas Perricone, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine. In his opening chapters, Perricone explains why skin wrinkles and sags--a combination of factors including the passage of time, stress, poor nutrition, excess alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, and exposure to cigarette smoke, sunlight, and pollution. Ultimately, however, it all boils down to damage caused by those renegade free radicals.<p> The bulk of his book is then devoted to a clearly presented skin care regimen that involves oral and topical antioxidant therapy. On the oral front, he emphasizes eating antioxidant foods, such as cantaloupe and dark green leafy vegetables, and avoiding "bad carbohydrates" (high in the glycemic index) such as pasta, sugar, and pancakes. And if you want to look good for a big event within a few days he suggests eating "fish, fish and more fish."<p> On the topical level, he recommends nutritional skin products such as his DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) cream ("an instant anti-aging face-lift"), a product that can only be purchased at specific places, such as selected Nordstrom stores or www.Sephora.com. Perricone's tie-in with his personal line of "cosmeceuticals" makes the book feel a tad self-serving. (He even includes an index of where to buy his products.) However, most of his advice is based on solid research and common sense, which gives this celebrity doctor credibility as well as a huge following. <I>--Gail Hudson</I> 825331 2000 The Wrinkle Cure: Unlock the Power of Cosmeceuticals for Supple, Youthful Skin total:26|5:5|4:6|3:9|2:6| 26 88 47 8 0 0 false false Sat Jan 24 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 13:46:03 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 21:34:36 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu Apr 26 07:40:49 -0700 2007 Thu Apr 26 07:48:06 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Jun 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 09:48:16 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 09:50:42 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Thu Feb 28 00:28:40 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 28 00:32:51 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jan 27 17:55:49 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 18:02:40 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Apr 25 16:29:07 -0700 2007 Wed Apr 25 16:32:16 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun May 18 19:29:47 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 22:35:51 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 02 18:56:19 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 02 18:56:44 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 08:19:04 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 08:19:04 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Sep 30 18:07:46 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 18:07:46 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jul 14 05:52:39 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 05:52:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 04:11:31 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 04:11:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jun 06 14:13:51 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 14:13:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 02 17:20:12 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 17:20:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 25 06:06:36 -0700 2009 Mon May 25 06:06:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 20 16:56:57 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 16:57:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 06 08:06:34 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 08:06:34 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Mar 04 18:04:17 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 18:04:27 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 28 18:54:10 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 18:54:10 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Aug 15 15:35:14 -0700 2009 Wed Feb 25 23:35:27 -0800 2009 Sat Aug 15 15:35:14 -0700 2009
