Smart Women Don't Get Wrinkles

"Helena Frith Powell noticed her first wrinkle when she accidentally caught sight of herself in her car's rear-view mirror. It set her off on an entertaining quest with herself as guineapig to try and test both the simplest and the most invasive weapons in the battle against the effects of time on the face, body and mind. Her aim? To find what products and therapies really work with the least effort or spending a fortune.

Diving deep into the world of anti-ageing, Helena humorously describes her experience as a guinea pig for the latest effective treatments. She interviews beauticians, doctors and scientists and discovers anything from improved breathing techniques – did you know it can affect the way you look? – to a procedure that is the equivalent of having your skin fried! She even gets to meet a handsome pair of surgeon twins, a woman who swears regular fasting keeps her skin young and a scientist who believes we can live well to a thousand!

On her way, Helena uncovers the simple secrets that will make you look at least ten years younger without trying too hard or spending a fortune."
