[ About the Book ]
Japanese women are renowned for their beautiful skin, but until now there have been no books in English that reveal the secrets of the successful Japanese beauty routine. The Japanese Skincare Revolution is the first guide for women of all ages and races who want to have beautiful skin like the Japanese but don't want to spend lots of money on cosmetics and treatments to achieve it.
Author Chizu Saeki is a practicing esthetician and beauty consultant whose dream is to teach ordinary women how to become more beautiful. To achieve this, she writes books, teaches, and tours Japan, giving demonstrations of the techniques she developed over a career spent in the beauty industry. Her books have sold more than 3 million copies, and the revolutionary ideas presented in this volume have won the approval of Japanese and international skin doctors.
The Japanese Skincare Revolution is the distillation of all of Saeki's most essential techniques. Here, readers are introduced to a unique lotion mask—a moisturizing treatment for keeping the skin fresh and lustrous; massages for toning the muscles of the face; natural, no-nonsense remedies for wrinkles, sagging, oiliness, pimples, and blackheads; "warm care" and "cool care" for soothing the mind and body; water massages to energize the skin; and much, much more.
With photos and step-by-step instructions, Saeki shows you how to use your own hands to massage your face like a professional esthetician. She teaches you to use your eyes to judge what your skin needs, and not to overfeed it with too many cosmetics. She leads you toward a well-rounded, sustainable skincare routine, the results of which will amaze you. By following her advice, you'll discover that it's possible to have beautiful skin at any age—without spending a fortune.

About the Author
Chizu Saeki was born in 1943. She is a practicing esthetician, and Japan's most revered beauty advisor. She has worked all her life in the beauty industry. At 24, after earning her beautician's license and working for several years at a beauty salon, she joined the French cosmetics maker Guerlain. When her husband's work took her to San Francisco in 1971, she continued her work in the cosmetics business by reporting to offices in Japan about new skincare products appearing in the U.S.
At age 42, when her husband died of cancer, Saeki fell into a slump: her hair lost its color, bags formed under her eyes, and after a time she looked 30 years older. She set about remaking her life and rejuvenating her skin through a gentle, wholehearted routine she had devised over the years, and was phenomenally successful.
Three years later, Saeki joined Parfums Christian Dior as an international training manager, with more than 600 cosmetic consultants under her tutelage. After her retirement from Dior, in 2003, she published her first book, Chizu Saeki's "Don't Rely on Cosmetics!"(Kodansha). Since the release of that title, she has written more than 30 skincare books, memoirs, and self-help titles—all best sellers.
Today Saeki is the president of her own company, Chizu Corporation, which runs an esthetic salon and beauty school in Ginza, Tokyo. She writes columns for several women's magazines in Japan and regularly appears on Japanese television. The Japanese Skincare Revolution is her first book in English.
