From the Author

We live in a culture in which youth is glorified and looking older can cause a woman or a man to feel they are less valued than they were at a younger age. In the book I teach my readers how to keep their youthful appearance as long as they live; having this knowledge enables them to be free from the fear of growing older and being unable to compete with others in our youth-oriented society.

These exercises work. No question about it - they really work. I'm 40 and was starting to notice the old age droop in my cheek and eye muscles as well as the characteristic bulge from untoned tongue muscles. Within one week of doing these exercises I noticed significant improvement. The cheek droop line is tightening up and receding. The muscles of my eyes and forehead have tightened up and lifted again. What's more, unlike with Carol Maggio's book, these exercises gave me a way to do these exercises without creating new wrinkles - a big reason why I stopped the exercises from Maggio's book.

The directions are step by step and very clear. I appreciated the drawings demonstrating the muscles targeted by each exercise. Pages 16 and 17 for example showed how the underlying face muscles of a young person (p. 16) look compared to an older person (p. 17).

Here's an excerpt to give you an idea of what a bit of the text is like to go with the illustrations.

"The illustrations show the contrast between facial muscles before and after premature aging. In the illustration on the left, the muscles are strong and tight. They support the skin around the eyes and the contours of the cheeks, lips and lower face. Notice how the cheek muscles insert into the mouth muscle and provide support for it.

prematurely aged eye muscles are too weak to hold the skin firmly in place. This causes squint lines, hollows, and bags to form in the skin around the eyes. In addition, cheek muscles sag and no longer provide support for the cheeks and the mouth muscle. When the mouth muscle lacks the support of strong cheek and chin muscles the lips tend to turn inward. Jaw and neck muscles become limp and slack and the skin attached to them becomes loose and shapeless."

If you are considering a face exercise book you can't go wrong giving this book a chance.

This review is from: Face Exercises That Prevent Premature Aging (Paperback)

I tried the exercises in this book for three months to see what results I would achieve. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any noticeable results. I even had a friend take a picture of me before and after 1, 2 and 3 months to see if I could see a difference. I didn't. A friend of mine who does facial exercises told me to get a copy of another book on facial exercises called Facercise. I did the same thing here. I took before and after pictures at 1,2 and three month intervals. I was excited when I could see a change in one month. I actually had several people tell me I looked different after 2 months. That's all I needed. I can feel my muscles burn when I do Facercise. I didn't get that feeling at all when I used this book. Sometimes you have to try different things to get the results you expect. I just wish I'd started with Facercise first, not the other way around.
