I'm surprised (shocked, actually) that this thread is four pages long but not one person mentioned that Japanese women have such beautiful skin that doesn't age because of Phytessence Wakame. Have you really not heard about this before?!?!?!?
The Secret to Beautiful Japanese Skin
I purchase my Phytessence Wakame from Amazon. |

Highly specialized books are usually very expensive. You can find out if a medical library near you carries the book, or do an Interlibrary loan request through your local public library. |

I've also heard something about kelp water (soaking seaweed in water and drinking it).
Damn. Staying young is a full time job...LOL |

When it comes to reading books that is related to science, I can't focus on the subject too long and digest all the technicalities.
$400 would not be a good investment for me and I trust my skin doctors to make the right decision for my skin if there is an issue. |

Looks like a lot of that book can be read right there on Google Books. I was just taken aback at the price for an Ebook.  |

That is really interesting information about the phytessence wakame, the only thing is I have concerns about consuming japanese foods since the Fukushima nuclear disaster. I love dulse from the west coast of Ireland when I can get it but I don't know if this has any effect, it tastes great though!
On a side note, I was friends with a girl whowas half Korean when I was at University and she was really stunning. We met again a few of years ago when when we were both about 33 and her skin had not aged well at all, it was very thin, fine and dry with many lines etched in all over her face. This however did not change the fact that she is still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in the flesh, which just goes to show its not all about skin beauty is something which can't really be quantified in my opinion. |

I've seen that same concern expressed in other places as well. The stuff I have is really big bags of dried Wakame that I purchased quite a while before the disaster. So I know my own stuff is fine but I can understand being concerned about that.
This product has also been added to some skincare products. Xtend-Life offers it and I've purchased their stuff in the past. But I am not sure that putting the product ON your face will do the same thing as ingesting it regularly will do. |

| Just a P.S. I have found that the dried Wakame gives soup a great flavor. It can be used on many things of course, but I have found I really like it added to broths and soups. |

Lived in Japan for years! I can tell you that Japanese women age very, very well until about age 45/50. Then ALL bets are off. Happens extremely fast.
Though my Japanese friends are all experts at makeup! I remember one of my friends crashed at my place--she washed her makeup off for the night and I nearly jumped in surprise when I saw her. Looked totally different. She thought this was hilarious 
And the whole parasol/sunglasses/hat/gloves to shield themselves from the sun must work as well, right? And the humidity, which is absolutely brutal in the summer. Smoking is really rare as well--I do have one Japanese friend who is a chainsmoker. She totally looks a few years older than she actually is.
But I have to say, Japanese skin, from my experience, has some downsides. I notice that there are a lot more people with severe eczema walking around--we're talking the kind that covers the entire face and really looks raw. I have never seen such severe conditions back in the States. Don't know why that is such a problem. Also, I think tatami infestations are common, because some girls who sleep on tatami floors seem to get weird bites over their legs, which end up scarring. Probably not a problem if they are regularly "debugged" but I see it enough to think some people don't bother.
But ultimate Japanese beauty secret? Like everyone above, gotta be wakame seaweed. My hair become so thick and shiny when I was eating that daily as a poor exchange student. lol. |

| Also--re Fukushima concerns. Wouldn't worry, most Japanese products clearly label where it comes from. Japan is a loooooong country. I think I've seen a map where Japan's coast is longer than the entire eastern seaboard, from Maine to Florida. So...source everything from Kansai, Hokkaido, Shikoku, Kyushu and Okinawa and you really should have no problems. |

Uh thats just a (not so) cleverly disguised ad for XtendLife products. 
Eating seaweeds, sushi, green tea and lots of pure water helps anyone's skin, not just Asians. It truly comes from within. Im not a big soy eater tho. |

The Textbook of Aging Skin looks fantastic! Lots of information about all kinds of surgery, filler, topicals. Gave me some good ideas for future treatments.
Also fascinating was the study of perceived aging and how different age groups notice different things. Since I date older men, I was very interested to learn that they notice size of eye opening, lip definition (vermilion line) and lip volume as more important. So I know what I need to concentrate of fixing or keeping youthful looking. For all age groups, dark circles, NL folds and brown spots were not as important.
Interestingly, when there were contradictory signs of aging -- good skin but old fashioned hairstyle, people were judged to be older. Also it was the overall presentation that was most important -- clothing, posture and movement, hairstyle -- not individual skin and facial markers in a static photo. |

I'm glad you like it.
Since the book is so expensive, my recommendation is to borrow it from a library (via Interlibrary loan). Use WorldCat.org to find out which libraries carry this book. |

Really? I suppose it depends on the sort of men you meet. Most older guys I know (50 and beyond) are not so focused on features as they are on the energy a person radiates--especially if this isn't their first relationship.
Warm eyes, a beaming smile, confidence, a sense of humor/joie de vive, good conversation, and just general well-being is what seasoned mature men I know appreciate in women. Unless an old dude is trying to procreate and so is looking for a certain gene pool or he's just looking for a FWB aka a sex buddy, a lady who shows up with the qualities I listed, could have small eyes, undefined lips and still snag the man she wants.
What most men guys want, IMO, is a woman who respects them and makes them feel good about themselves. |

So why are you skin care addict if you dont want to barbie doll?
Dont get it wrong.No attack.
Do you believe by being and looking more beautiful you would have a better chance to love others and being loved from others?
The last sounds cool. |

Your comment of older men and aging is right. My husband is significantly older then I. Men do notice uneven skin though, but having dewy, even skin tone, large eyes and plush lips catch men's attention in all male age groups.
Although I agree about age spots, men don't see it unless they are really dark.
What is considered a hairstyle that is affiliated with "old woman"? I think it is those bouffant and having a scarf tied tightly covering the hair and is around the face and usually all in black. But I've seen young girls with this hairstyle. I guess it has to do with how wrinkly you look.
What does all of this have to do with Asian women and their skin? |
