3.0 out of 5 stars Great Results, however..., June 14, 2003
This book works!! I am so happy when I look in the mirror to see what this has done for me. It has toned and tightened my face. I'm young, but didn't have that muscle toned face I wanted. So it's great, the whole book.

However, only 5% of the book is useful; the exercises.
The remaining 95% is just full of annoying repeative (really, she repeats the same thing in different form in every chapter) And it really does go on, and on, and on, and on. She keeps mentioning why its great you bought the book and how every thing bad will change once you do the exercises. The health and diet section is really stock information. I guess she had to pad it out with content to make it thicker than a magazine.

All in all, buy it. It works, and even though she has her annoying parts (like talking to you like a boyscout: "Now boys, listen to me,...." and tends to babble on, the exercises are amazing!! If you thought you couldn't get a sculpted face, think again!!

I work out regularly and am on a fairly strict diet. Like many men who like to have that lean and ripped physique, we get a gaunt and unhealthy looking face do to the lack of body fat. I began the Facebuilder program as an extention to my normal workout routine. It has been two weeks now and I have had many comments on how much healther I look. I also took pictures of my face before I started Facebuilder For Men. Exactly two weeks later I took more pictures to compare the results, and the difference is astounding! I showed them to a personal trainer / nutritionist and they were absolutely amazed! They were so impresed they are going to recommend it to there client's! This book can help any man to improve his face quickly and easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars SEEING IS BELIEVING, July 13, 2003
By 
Jasen Hoeppner (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
My wife bought this book for me about six weeks ago. She does face exercises and I know they work, but I never thought about doing them myself. However, after her proding me for a week or two, I started, under protest, to keep peace in the family. All I can say now is WOW. If I didn't see it myself, I wouldn't have believed it. I had my wife take a picture of me before I started to see if I could notice the changes and now, six weeks later, I'm really amazed at the difference. Much stronger jawline, more sculpted cheekbones - just a great change for me.
The book is easy reading, well written, and entertaining. But the real benefit here is the exercise regimen laid down by the authors. I couldn't be more pleased - and surprised, at the results. This book is a keeper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful but short on explanations, November 24, 2004
By 
Boileau0663 (Tournai, Belgique) - See all my reviews
This book describes 10 relatively simple ways in which you can train your face muscles in order to look younger and make your face more attractive. The exercises should be done twice a day and last about 25 minutes.

Most of the book, however, is about how important it is for you to look young and attractive. I wish the author had spent more time explaining the techniques. True, there are photographs (of a man who doesn't have to care about wrinkles and sagging face muscles), but the explanations that accompany the photographs are insufficient. You will need to try the exercices and practice them for a while before you really understand how to do them. The techniques are simple but still you will have to figure out how to apply them.

I also warn readers that most of the exercices involve visualisations and gestures that are supposed to stir the subtle energies of the body (what the Chinese call "Chi", the mysterious fluid acupuncturists work on with their needles). So if you are allergic to New Age stuff or your ability to concentrate and imagine things is very poor, you may have trouble using the techniques described in this book.

One issue Carole Maggio doesn't talk about is the problem of the lines that may appear as a result of training. Briefly, there is plenty of serious stuff that should have been treated and just isn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars DYNAMITE BOOK!!!!, July 28, 2004
I just turned 40 and started to notice the lack of tone in my face.  I had things starting to go south on me.  I've been working out in the gym for the past few years and my trainer suggested to me that I pick up this book and try out the exercises.  Being a gym advocate and knowing that exercise is good for the body, I picked up FACEBUILDER FOR MEN, hoping that face exercises would do the same for my face. 
In just a few minutes a day for the past 4 months, I have been able to turn the clock back by at least 10 years.  My body always has looked good (because I exercise it).  Now my face does, too, because of the exercises I learned in the book.  Don't let ANYONE tell you that exercises for the face don't work.  I'm living testimony that they do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank Goodness for Carole Maggio!!!, December 23, 2002
By 
Raw Mark (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
Well Men,

I'm sure a few of you out there have found this title by accident. My advice - order it now!!! It's rare that I ever take time out to rate or comment on a book unless it's changed my life. This one certainly has!!! I'm far from an old man but mother nature was catching up to me. I started searching online for a natural, non-electric, way to stimulate my facial muscles to keep them in shape. Bingo!!! This book has not only shaved a few years off of my age but has all of my friends asking me what's different about me. Took me a few weeks to figure out it was Carole Maggio and Mike Gianelli that have made the difference.

My only challenge to this book is that I've yet to be able to do all the exercises in this book in 10 minutes. It actually takes me about 25 minutes 2 x's a day but, to keep my face in shape - so what. After all, we spend hours and dollars to keep our bodies in shape. The eleven exercises are well illustrated and easy to do. What's a few dollars spent on a book for keeping your face in shape and avoiding plastic surgery worth to you?

5.0 out of 5 stars The Exercises are the best part., August 13, 2004
By 
J Hurst (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews
Just out of curiosity I picked this book up and found it very
interesting, I had never thought of doing Face Exercises, but it makes sense and the exercises are easy to do. I would
recommend it to anyone who has an interest in taking good care of themselves, taking care of the face is just another step in the process.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS FOR ME!!!!, November 11, 2002
By A Customer
I saw an article in the October issue of FHM magazine about Facebuilder. It was a very positive, upbeat article so I bought the book and started doing the exercises. What an amazing transformation I have performed on myself. I think it's been about 5 weeks now and I can definitely see a difference in my face color and some of the lines I was starting to develop now seem to be less noticable.

When you do these exercises, you can really feel the burn the authors describe. It's the same feeling you get when you max out muscles in your arms, abs or legs, etc. A burn, but a good feeling because you know you are doing something constructive.

I found the book very informative and very interesting. It's well written and easy to follow. Can a video be close behind? I hope so. It would be a wonderful companion to the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only 7 minutes a day!!!, September 17, 2005
I own a aesthetic and plastic surgery center in Scottsdale, Arizona. Several of my patients are men, I encourage a great deal of these patients to do "Facebuilder", in just 7 minutes a day these patients are able to dramatically tone their face.

Men find this program easy to use, effective and result oriented, not to mention they love their results. I highly endorse this program, I been encouraging my patients to do Carol's program for several years, the results never cease to amaze me.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Wife Made Me Buy It!!, September 12, 2005
By 
First I want to say that I am 56 years old and thought I looked pretty good for my age. I usually don't go for any type of formal exercise programs other than my usual weight lifting and light jogging. But when my wife suggested that my face might need a little toning I thought; why not give this program a try? After all, she had been using Ms. Maggio's program for women and looks great! Well, I guess my jaw was looking a little slack and my eyes a little droopy after all! After 3 solid weeks of working out my face -- I look like a new man! The Jaw Toner exercise really burns the jaw and tones it up REALLY QUICK. The Eye Toner one really helped open my eyes up so I no longer look sleepy! Go for it guys -- don't wait for the wife to tell you you need it!
