I'm physically 23, on the verge of 24, and while I know I'm still young, I was under A LOT of stress the past 3+ years with family issues, depression, drugs & alcohol, etc and just recently my face started too seriously sag and I was quickly losing that youthful look that I took for granted. I was so stressed for so long, I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner... But I wads aging quickly in the face and I felt hopeless as I was still 18-20 mentally.
Anyway, I decided to completely start over with my life right after I turned 23 by going back to college and pretending I'm 20 again and completely starting over, I just felt out of place, like a mismatch, cause of how different my face felt... It felt stressed, saggy for my age, etc.

And THEN the magic started happening... I ordered this book and I did a few excersises and didn't notice anything. I got lazy and put it down... Then, a few weeks before 2012, I started doing the excercises once a day, not even 2-3 times a day like advised... And here, 2 weeks later, I can NOT believe how my face has reversed in time like it has. I look very, very good. I see girls who see me everyday give me that second look like "damn he looks good." and I feel amazing. Not only does it make u look younger, u just look freaking good... Muscular/athletic face, glowing complexion. And u feel so "tight", I love it. I will do facial excercises for at least the next 20 years. I think you are supposed to excercise ur face, just like ur body. Muscles are muscles.

I now KNOW for a fact that brad Pitt did these exercises religiously and that's why he always had that perfect jaw line, huge jaw muscle things, and just why he looked so good at 35+ years old... He was smart. Look at pics of him in his early 20's, his face looks NOWHERE near how he does in movies.

DOWNFALLS of the book: several of the exercises are described poorly as it takes many times to finally understand what she's trying to say. I still dont know if I'm doing a few of them right cause she describes them so poorly. The pictures don't help very much either. She also doesn't talk about using stuff like exfoliating face washes, face lotion, face masks, etc. I use all that stuff and I think it goes hand in hand with the excercises.

Hope this works. Will be giving it my all.

A good facial exercise book, if one will stick with it. Many are difficult to do. And since I have an arthiritic neck, I've had to make a couple of adjustments to better adapt the exercises to myself.But, I have no doubt of Ms. Maggio's claim that one can remove years off his face with 2-10 mins. work-out a day. I recommend the book and exercises,
along with her other advice as to cleansing products, etc.

I bought this book because, at 61, I was not pleased with the way my face was aging. I didn't want toxic injections and this seemed like a good alternative. I did the exercises for about 2 months and didn't really notice any change. Then, I took a look at the photos that the author suggests you take before you start the program. I was really surprised at the changes in my face. These exercises work on all areas of your face so I think it's several subtle changes that do the trick. I would have given it more stars if the exercises were easier to follow. I wish there was a Men's Facebuilder video.

This face yoga stuff works, at least for me! Took about 4 weeks to see initial results and months later, it’s obvious.

Everyone thinks I lost weight, but I haven’t. Wish I’d known about this 20 years ago!

Great product.
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2009
I made the mistake of puchasing this book for a friend at the same time I ordered the ladies' version (Facercise). After two weeks of practicing the exercises my friend said he was still uncertain as to how the exercises were supposed to be done. As with the "Facercise" book, the exercises are not clearly explained in word or picture. Maggio cutesy-poo ("sucking tiny lemons...visualize the pencil growing longer" GIMMEE A BREAK!)is no substitute for good directions.

And why does this execrable book cost $$$o much? Maybe Carol needs money to get rid of those bunches of lines beside her mouth-she needs to practice Miss Craig's face exercises instead.

I have since purchased 2 copies of Miss Craig's Face Saving Exercises. Both my friend and I agree that the original (Miss Craig) is still THE GREATEST! You can achieve wonderful results with Miss Craig's exercises-she targets every area of the face with carefully designed, lucidly explained exercises. This will bring about an overall toning (and thereby)smoothing of the face and neck.
plus, Miss Craig's witty comparisons of familiar facial expressions to every exercise is of immense help in understanding and performing each exercise.

Applause for Miss Craig. Thumbs down for Carol Maggio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr gute, hilfreiche Übungen; * very good facial exercice book, I do recommend it.
Reviewed in Germany on October 3, 2021
Habe mir dieses Buch gekauft, und noch dazu auf englisch (in der Originalsprache), weil ich die Übungen im deutschen Buch für Frauen nicht verstanden habe...dank dieses Buches verstehe ich sie nun und habe außerdem verstanden, welche Übungen WIRKLICH wichtig sind (die Männer haben nämlich weniger Übungen als die Frauen, ...sehr interessant!) und habe dadurch einen besseren Überblick über die ganze Geschichte bekommen. Das weiß ich sehr zu schätzen!
For the english speaking reader; I consider this book very helpful. I bought it mainly, because I already own the german version for women and didn't understand the exercices described there, so this book about men and in the original language helped me to finally understand them, and also understand which exercices are really basics for men AND women and which ones are not. (Since there are more exercices in the book for women than in this one for men...)So I got the full perspective on the whole concept- something I always consider very valuable. Yes, I do recommend it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I thought
Reviewed in Japan on January 10, 2014
Only 11 exercises! Most programs have 20 to 30 exercises so I was very disappointed. Photos are unclear and descriptions aren't that good either. I don't recommend this book.
