  Liking the way you look is essential to your health and happiness, but that's not easy these days when so many of us are operating on warp speed. We are coping with ever-increasing job demands; clamouring kids or aging parents, or both; shopping, cooking, and housecare; car maintenance, vet appointments, financial pressures. It's all making us super-stressed, tightly wound, and severely sleep deprived. It's also taking a toll on our looks. Stress aging - how our crazy lives are affecting our skin - presents today's biggest challenge both to looking great and feeling great about our looks. And Amy Wechsler, MD, a dermatologist and a psychiatrist, is the expert to help us. Emotional aging is very reversible. You can interrupt the cycle of life problems/skin troubles once you've recognized the connection. This book will help you determine your current SkinAge, including how much is physical and how much is emotional, with tests. It will help you choose the renewal plan that's right for your psyche, face, and wallet. And it will help you adopt a mind-beauty maintenance regimen that will keep your skin looking and feeling terrific.

Good bet you're superstressed, tightly wound, sleep-deprived -- and it shows.

But stress aging -- how the madness of modern life affects your physical features inside and out -- is today's biggest skin and health challenge. Happily, stress aging is very reversible. And it takes only a few days. While you may never be able to totally turn off all the pressure (if only!), Dr. Wechsler has plenty of combination strategies -- from her own favorite stress buster to her number one wrinkle reverser -- to help you turn back the aging effects of tension and time. She'll also teach you how to slow down and, to some degree, reverse the natural aging process. This is your guide to feeling, looking, and living young.
