What's Your Secret?: How One Centerfold Stays Alluring and Fit Past the Age of Fifty Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll admit, I was first a little off-put by buying a book by a former playboy centerfold. However, that being said, that is my problem. I also believe if Ms. Antonaccio had a different title/different book cover, she would get many more reviews. I don't know how many books she has sold. However, that is part of her identity and who am I to really judge her, you know? I was looking on Amazon.com one day for anti-aging books and hers came up.
Getting that out of the way, let me just say Helena Antonaccio looks INCREDIBLE, almost too good to believe...for past 50. She claims to have had no plastic surgery.
I'll just say this - she is a living testament to clean living, no smoking, drinking, taking vitamins, doing facial exercise, exercise/walking/ballet every day, organic diet. She also interestingly follows the diabetic diet, though she herself is not diabetic. She feels this is a very, very nutritious diet. She also says her mother had diabetes. She also takes a very large amount of anti-aging vitamins and wears sunblock at ALL times (except when sleeping).
I believe the reason she looks SO INCREDIBLE (I swear in most pictures she doesn't look a day over 35, in some pics, 30) is because she began taking care of herself at 18...no folks, she didn't start at 30 or 40 for these daily things she does, she started at 18.
Also, I think it is worth commenting that she has a very beautiful, positive outlook on everything. She mentioned several times how being in nature and around animals revives her spirit and makes her feel good.
Beautiful lady, inside and out.

Return to Beautiful Skin: Your Guide to Truly Effective Nontoxic Skin Care Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am constantly skeptical about books I read regarding Organic products and the people who are writing these books and their qualifications. I was hesitant because although the authors seemed to have extensive experience in the industry it did not seem to define their qualifications for verifying the information. They weren't scientists or doctors per se. However, the forward is written by an M.D. that had some very positive things to say. Also, the author diligently cites her sources to various information from organizations including the Environmental Protection Agency and also various medical journals and other health related studies so I felt I could rely on the information I was getting.
Also, I happened to know that the author owned her own personal care line. Many times the intent for books like this is to sell their own product and use it as a marketing tool. I was pleasantly surprised that although she mentioned that she owned a company she didn't specify her products or what it was she sold exactly. She made no attempt to market her own products to entice sales. I have a lot of respect for her intent for getting the information out to the public for the sake of the public and not to make a buck.
Lastly, the book is intelligently organized which includes a scientific background on the anatomy of the skin as well as important facts about organic versus non-organic product. There is also a very thorough list and explanation on the particular ingredients she means to address and how to read labels! I recommend this book to every open minded individual willing to read it.
