The Founders
VENeffect was founded by sisters Rebecca Booth, M.D., a nationally recognized gynecologist and hormonal wellness expert, and Cecil Booth, a skin care expert with twenty years of beauty industry experience. They discovered that while all women are affected by hormonal aging, there is little awareness of this universal issue and few solutions in the beauty world. VENeffect is the breakthrough anti-aging solution they developed to reverse the signs of hormonal aging and restore skin to peak hormonal vitality.
Dr. Rebecca Booth

Dr. Booth is the author of The Venus Week: Discover the Powerful Secret of Your Cycle...At Any Age (Da Capo Lifelong Books, 2008). In The Venus Week, Dr. Booth communicates hormonal changes to women in a way they can understand and empowers them with the knowledge to live well every week of the month. The Venus Week is her metaphor for the week of the month when women experience a peak in estrogen (the "feel-good" hormone) and testosterone (the hormone of "desire"), resulting in enhanced interactions with the world around them. The book unlocks the secret of this optimal hormonal "recipe," providing uplifting insights that don't necessarily end with menopause.
