I just wanted to say that facial exercise really does work. I have both good and bad evidence of this! I've been doing Ageless If You Dare, which takes me less than 10 minutes every other day or so. I had slacked off on it, but I started doing it pretty regularly again, I guess in February. I added in one of her "occasional" exercises for the jaw, because I would like to broaden my jaw. She says you should only do it occasionally unless you do want a wider jaw, which most women don't. I was doing it every time I did the other exercises.
So recently I started to notice a weird hard raised area over in the corners of my jaw on both sides. It was making a little shadow on my lower cheek right near it. Sure enough, it was my muscle, a little too prominent for me! I don't have enough fat to soften it so that it just looks like a bigger jaw. Guess that one is going back to the "occasional" status! On the other hand, my cheeks are definitely higher, fuller, and firmer. This is a really nice improvement for someone who had prematurely lost a lot of facial fat. I like the Ageless system not only because it is short (I have no patience or time for long facial workouts), but also because it produces aesthetically pleasing results. When I look at some of the "afters" from other facial exercise programs, I see a lot of unnaturally muscle-toned faces. They don't look youthful to me. Ageless focuses on the cheeks, so that by building them bigger you draw everything else up. This produces really natural-looking results. Just thought I'd pass that on in case anyone was still interested in this topic!

Glad to hear you're seeing results. I just received my book a few weeks ago, so too soon to tell. I certainly feel it after I do it. It's really easy to do throughout the day. I focus on the corners of my mouth and my eyebrows. I like my cheeks and jaw (good genes!) but still do them as well.
I got into the habit of using my Yamuna face ball even before I get out of bed and as a bonus, it really helps my sinuses. Both the ball and pulling the skin give me a nice pink glow too! I do some other facial exercises (Carole Maggio) and whatever else I find interesting on the net (Facial Yoga, I think) so hard to say what the combo will be. I like the book though and hope others post their results. It probably takes some time to see results. Debbie |

This has made me think of how they say people who are happy look younger. If they are always smiling, is that similar to the exercises you would do in Ageless? It would be interesting if that were true and would make me wonder if that sparked the idea for facial exercises originally.

ON a rather giggly note, I DID cave and buy some of those tiny elastic "face lifter tape" sets. I was quite surprised at how good it worked, and how you really couldn't see it with the hair worn down. But I kept expecting all night for something to let loose and one side of my neck drop or something, lololol
