Review title: Do 'ancient' beauty secrets work? Why not ask an ancient?
Product review: Since there aren't any ancient people walking around, it's pretty difficult to know whether their skin was healthier than ours is. (With poor nutrition, polluted water, and diseases such as smallpox and scrofula, what are the odds?)The 'beauty of the ancients' is therefore nothing more than a meaningless advertising slogan. It sounds good, but it means nothing since we don't know whether the ancients were beautiful or not.The book? Basically common sense mixed in with a lot of mystic-sounding bafflegab that only serves to impress the gullible. The money you'd spend on this book would be better spent on good food or a soothing backrub.Or perhaps donated to Mother Teresa's mission, where it could help the descendants of these supposedly perfect 'ancients'.
