“Leon's Anti-Aging Beauty Secrets” by Leon Rao

I just finished reading an e-book, “Leon's Anti-Aging Beauty Secrets” by Leon Rao. Leon is a beautiful young woman with Oriental features. Well, maybe she’s not so young but just practices what she preaches.



We have a lot in common (not the young part unfortunately). Leon loves photoghraphy, writing about beauty, blogging and shopping, as do I. She takes a holistic approach in this book. I like that too.



The book covers everything anti-aging from healthy diet, to lifestyle to skin care. I especially enjoyed the chapter on beauty secrets from around the world. Women everywhere have always have found local substances to preserve their health and youthful beauty.



Many skin anti-aging products sold commercially include these very same ingredients because most cosmeceutical chemists and researchers are only too glad to accept the wisdom of the ages.



The largest portion of the book is dedicated to DIY recipes for anti-aging potions. There are wonderful sounding cleansers and face packs, as well as oils that can be used for facial massage.



Some of the cleanser recipes sound good enough to eat. You’ll also find recipes for serums, toners and exfoliators, as well as recipes to address specific concerns like puffy eyes, thinning lashes and thinning brows.



I’m not convinced of the benefit of facial exercises. On that, Leon and I can agree to disagree ;-)



You can read more from Leon Rao and buy her e-book at her website, Beauty Secrets Revealed.



If you have allergies or concerns over artificial ingredients like chemical preservatives or unnecessary added fragrance in commercial anti-aging products, you will want to have a copy of Leon’s book on your bookshelf – er – hard drive.
