I've been doing facial exercises for about 7 months now using exercises I've found online and even checking out the Facercise book, and taking monthly photos to document any changes. And I have to say, I've seen some of the best results I've had when I started using the exercises in Five-Minute Face-Lift.

After 2 days, I already see results. The lines around my mouth have improved, and my cheeks appear lifted. My entire face feels lifted and exercised, and energized. And in a natural way. I'm very amazed and pleased and yet I'll have to contain my excitement for another 2-3 months - the time frame the book gives you to see visible changes.

I really want to thank the author for sharing such an excellent system. Some of the exercises he demonstrates, I've already been doing, and so I know they work. And some of them are improvements of the ones I've been doing, and I like them better.

Update 4/24/11:
It's been almost 4 months now, and my face looks so much better, I take it for granted. I am no longer so obsessed with those mouth lines because they are barely discernible. My cheeks no longer sag. (Before, I got so fed up with them that I pulled them up with tape and string. Now, no need.) They feel firm and plump. And even my eyes appear lifted. I am very happy.

So far so good. I have only been doing the excersizes for a week faithfully!! I find myself wanting to do them throughout the day also. My face feels firmer and my eyes are brighter and clearer.

Book was in excellent condition.
Regime is good but does take longer than 5-minutes-a-day unless only a minimum amount of a few of the exercises are done daily.
After a month or so, I can see results.

We work so hard - Pilates, yoga, the gym - to keep our bodies toned and most of us have completely ignored the muscles in our faces. I was even introduced to a facial fitness regimen about five years and promptly forgot to do any of the exercises.

And now, five years later, at 47 and still resistant to cosmetic procedures (though often tempted), I think it's time to revisit the practice of facial fitness. It's less invasive and certainly less expensive than surgery and needles.

If you want to play & experiment, there's a panoply of books out there on the very subject of Facial Fitness. This is the one I got a few years ago and just pulled out again, "Five Minute Face-Lift". The exercises are well illustrated and easily explained though, I promise, you will look as if you are grimacing throughout the routine. So, unless you would like to entertain your family in that way, I suggest that you do these exercises solo, in front of a mirror for your own personal amusement. And beautification. Personally, I also do the exercises when driving, though not while stuck in traffic (Mom, look at that lady, why is she making all those faces...?).

I'm now officially on a routine to lift my brow and my jaw line.

Need convincing? Watch this video that re-inspired me to get on a daily facial fitness routine. How can this woman, Eva Fraser, be 79???

This is a very simple book to use. It is a very well illustrated and clearly explained program. It really does only ask you for five minutes a day!

I've only had this book for a couple of weeks, so it's too early to say how well the excercises work (especially at my age-55). However, I've found the book to be simple to use and easy to follow. The most helpful aspect are pictures of the anatomy and of the model with the targeted muscle highlighted, so I know if I'm working the correct muscle. I've found it is important not to merely mimic the face the model is demonstrating, but to really tense the muscle being targeted (just like you would if you were working out any other muscle). I recommend this book for it's simplicity and ease of use.

This is a great little exercise book to help keep you from the knife. Let's get up & started with the natural ways to look good!

To my surprie this book really works!! I've been facersizing for three wks now everyday except Sundays..and I see a big difference around my eyes and forehead lines...can't wait to see what happens after 3 months of use!!! Glad I took took this chance..:)

This book has plenty of facial exercises with easy to follow illustrations and rationales for how they work. Not on a program yet but if you want a book you can follow, this is it.

I'm 48 and have been doing some of the facial exercises in this book 5-7 days a week over the past seven months since I got it. At this point I'm going to say that for me the exercises I've been doing actually freaking worked. More information includes: I'm not overweight, never have been, but I am getting older obviously and noticed an increased sag or bulk I hated on my throat or double chin area, and also a tiny bit of a preview of the horror show future of possible jowly type things showing up with lines a bit on either side of my mouth. Hard to take. Anyway so I got this book in desperation and because I"ve kept my body in shape since I was 30 through exercise and thought this could actually work because it sure has on my body. So, I've done the exercises most every morning over the past half year, a bit longer, while I run on my machine at home, and I do them pretty intensely as in I really push the muscles and hold them till they burn and then again, just like I'm doing with my body muscles, and I really didn't think this would work but I think it actually may have because I don't see the same approaching horror show I saw last April. And - my husband, who even though I tried to hide this book saw it coming in and scoffed at me, he told me the other day I looked so good and I told him I'd been doing these and he said Jesus I think they actually work and I said I think so too sweet baby jesu. Anyway, that's the truth from this person. Good luck and everything good from this tiny speck in the universe.
