Let me start by saying that I already used very high quality vegan products and I also use a lot of essential oils (always from doTerra or Young Living) because I am 44 years old and am trying (pretty successfully) to stave of aging. So the issue of expense or buying more products as noted by some was not an issue for me. I already used moisturizing toner (or lotion as called in the book), serum, and moisturizer. My regular products from Caudalie, Arbonne, and doTerra had already taken at least 10 years off my 44-year old face; so I wasn't expecting much more. My biggest issues were smile lines (not bad...but getting worse), rough looking skin, and the recent subtle appearance of age spots on my forehead (issues from the lower layers to be treated through massage and serums, according to the book). Although money isn't an issue, time is (I work 60-70 hour weeks already). This definitely takes more time...perhaps 10 more minutes...but it has brought about such an immediate improvement, that I will find the time.
I was shocked that I started to see additional dramatic differences within days. I started by attacking the wrinkles and texture. The most notable difference was in the smile lines around my eyes and wrinkles in my forehead. I make my own wrinkle tonic from equal parts frankensense, lavendar, and lemon essential oils from doTerra and I started using that first (putting it on and spreading it out. I then immediately cover the oil up with some Arbonne eye cream (just a little to keep the oils from evaporating), and doing the piano, pinching and ironing techniques shown. (For younger ladies, Patchouli oil is known to prevent wrinkles). For me the "ironing" totally worked....and quickly.
