What Face Are You Wearing for Halloween
Halloween is the time of year when looking scary can be appropriate. But during other times throughout the year, looking scary probably isn’t desired. Wouldn’t you love to get rid of those creepy wrinkles, frightening saggy eyes and that dreadful double chin? Here’s how!
Read MoreFacial Exercise Saves You Money
By Cynthia Rowland Many women rue the day that they began using costly injections to plump and paralyze their faces. It sounded so simple – a few injections here and there just hoping to delay and stave off the effects of an aging face. After all, who wants to wear a face that sags and…
Read MoreBeautiful Women and Freida Pinto
If only we were all born with the exotic, smoldering good looks of Freida Pinto, the beautiful Latika, in the Academy Award winning movie, Slumdog Millionaire. Ms Pinto, a native Mumbian, dreamed of becoming an actress from an early age. Her desire for fame and success began and there is no doubt she made it happen for herself.
Read MoreFrench Women Don’t Get Wrinkles
We’ve all heard that French Women Don’t Get Fat. Apparently they don’t get wrinkles either.
I first met Cynthia Rowland and Jackie Silver at the Fab Over 50 Beauty Bash. They have a radio show together called the Ageless Sisters. But I met a lot of people there, and frankly I was a little overwhelmed.
Cut to: months later, Jackie Silver joined us at Life Goes Strong! But it was when she mentioned her beauty secrets to another one of the team as a birthday present that it clicked for me. What were these exercises she was talking about?
Read MoreParalyzing Injections – Do Young Women Need Them?
What a racket!
Whoever thought, then developed, paralyzing injections that freeze certain muscles using a neurotoxin is certainly a gizzilonaire by now. To think that men and women could fall for such an outrageous marketing gimmick is tantamount to buying a bridge in the Arizona desert.
Read MoreFacial Fitness on Bravo’s ‘Pregnant in Heels’
Appearing on a television show seems like a good idea; however, these Bravo TV stars did not believe my firm forehead was a result of facial exercise. That’s what happens in Hollywood…the stars are “brainwashed” into believing that paralyzing and plumping injections are the only avenue to keep one looking younger. They are not…in fact,…
Read MoreWatch a Liquid Facelift: Instant Results, No Knife
Here’s footage of a Liquid Facelift – no cutting, no sutures but lots of injections with various serums that I can assure you are not natural. The before and after photo shows minimal results and I truly believe that the Facial Magic results – no injections that plump or paralyze or cutting of perfectly healthy tissue – are more pronounced. Exercise smoothes wrinkles on the forehead and at the edge of the eyes, exercise lifts the heavy cheek muscles so that the nasal labial folds smooth and lift up and back into the hairline, the marionette lines will also lift up and out leaving the lower mouth and chin area greatly refreshed. No costly, toxic fillers that need to be redone – just natural, proven results using simple facial exercises. Once you learn the routine, there’s nothing else to buy!
Read MoreRise of the ‘smartphone face’: Is technology to blame for sagging complexions?
I think that it is possible to stop and even reverse the look of a sagging jaw. First of all realign your computer monitor so that you are not looking down. Chin level, looking straight ahead is probably the best advantage for your face. The same with your phone…be aware of your facial posture, perhaps an ear piece would be helpful and if you’re using Face Time, position the phone more eye level.
Facial exercise will help correct those sagging jowls and that wattle. Try this exercise at your desk…(lift your chin, nestle your tongue flat in the roof of your mouth, push up with your tongue and count to five)
Read MoreFacelifts at 50 are an ugly betrayal
Sandra Parsons, author of the following article, Facelifts at 50 are an ugly betrayal, reminds us that “the simple truth is that all you have to do to look younger is lose a bit of weight, do some exercise and colour your hair. All it takes is the courage to start — because once you’ve begun, you won’t want to stop.”
That’s exactly why I love facial exercise. The movements create a vibrant, younger looking face. Heavy jowls and pouches? There’s a facial exercise for that! Tired of seeing droopy eyelids that impair your ability to wear your favorite eyeliner and shadows? Try this Upper Eye Exercise. Every portion of your face and neck can benefit from isometric exercise. No funny faces, puckers, twists or contortions.
Read MoreAnna Paquin Convinced Plastic Surgery Would Limit Acting Roles
Anna Paquin, a young, beautiful actress, has her head on straight when she says that undergoing plastic surgery could limit her future roles. You don’t have to be an actress to know that facial plastic surgery and injections that plump and paralyze can have devastating results. Once your exquisite facial features have been altered, there’s no going back because you will probably feel hypercritical and uneasy seeing a different person in the mirror. Fooling with Mother Nature won’t necessarily make you look younger so use proven facial exercise techniques that can help you look 5, 10, even 15 years younger in just weeks. What could be easier?
Read MoreStop Spending Cash Needlessly – Use Facial Exercise
How often have you visited your favorite cosmetic counter at a large department store and spent money hoping to disguise a sagging face? Those sculpting powders and primers, while promising miraculous results, sadly aren’t powerful enough to stop the droopy jowls that make your face look old and tired. Maybe you’ve tried those eye strips designed to prop up eyelids that are cascading toward your lashes and have decided they are too much trouble. There are so many choices with little or few actual results.
Read MoreChin Augmentation is Newest Beauty Obsession
Chin augmentation surgery has skyrocketed. Chin augmentation, such as implants or “chinplants” as they’re being called, are the new beauty obsession to reshape or change the size of the chin. In fact, this surgical procedure grew more than breast augmentation, Botox and liposuction combined in 2011, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
Read MoreHow Much Would You Pay for Lumpy Lips?
Is your face a victim of too many injections? More and more we see shocking results develop from repeated use of injections that plump and paralyze. In the case of Anita (her name has been changed) who works for a reputable plastic surgeon, who has had his share of face time on TV, her face…
Read MoreFor cosmetic surgery, chins are the new breasts: ‘Chinplants’ on the rise
Chinplants are not new; in fact, they still bore the same amount of danger as every invasive cosmetic procedure. One of our Facial Magic clients, an MD from NY, attended one of my Learning Annex classes in NYC. When I saw her arrive, head down, a scarf disguising her disfigurement, I knew she had had either a car accident or something sinister happened to her appearance. It was the latter. She had suffered an infection from a chin implant that disfigured her once beautiful face. She never thought something like this would happen to her.
Read MoreSalma Hayek Opens Up About Botox And Body Image
The very beautiful Salma Hayek has resisted the urge to jump off the bridge – oh wait – she has resisted the urge to use Botox because she understands how paralyzing a muscle can have a detrimental effect on skin and other muscles. Very smart cookie! Let’s hear it for all the gals who resist plumping and paralyzing toxins…they do not always make you look younger but they certainly make you look done. Using facial exercise can return the look of Springtime to your face without using anything harmful or risky to your good health.
Read MoreCelebrity Plastic Surgery: Post 50 Actresses On The Today Show Speak Out
Here’s a follow up with a video of celebrities who are speaking out against plastic surgery. Cutting perfectly healthy skin in the name of beauty does not always produce the desired results and there are disappointments that cannot be remedied. Please consider using facial exercise rather than injections and surgery; it’s an easy, fast, and proven program to lift, tone and tighten your facial features.
