Rise 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).

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 MoreConsidering cosmetic surgery? You have to read this.
Surgery, whether it’s facial plastic surgery or a simple procedure, has many risks. Carefully and thoughtfully choosing a qualified surgeon is the first step for a successful procedure but just remember, there are no guarantees that the surgery will be successful or that you will love your results. Just look at the celebrity faces that have been done and over done and the tell-tale signs cannot be hidden. Why not opt for an all natural, proven alternative? Facial exercise will help you look 5, 10, even 15 years younger with no risk or harm to healthy tissue.
Read MoreDo You Want a Chinplant?
Chinplants are becoming a household word now that they have been featured on many blogs, internet news sites and television shows. The procedure seems so simple, so safe for receding chins or short jaws…just a little slash with the scalpel and that dab of whatever the chosen material is soon inserted into your body. Poof! You look different; your jaw line looks tapered yet strengthened and contoured. Maybe the double chin has lessened as your previously benign chin is certainly more dominant.
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 MoreCan Too Much Plastic Surgery Change Your Personality?
Unique characteristics define us and this includes our facial characteristics; if you cut and suture your beautiful face, you may not like the results in more ways than one because psychologists say that your self-definition may be affected. You could feel disconnected from your face because it no longer looks and feels like you. Ladies, stop cutting your faces and learn to exercise it. Sagging facial muscles and skin do not need a surgical correction, rather, exercise will lift, tone and tighten those features that you believe detract from your youthfulness.
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.

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.

Read MoreMy Face Lift (Not): The Magic of Facial Exercise
Lynda Lippin, sans makeup, after her Facial Magic face lift.
A few years ago while we were working at Parrot Cay, my husband started to play with my chin wattle. What started as a cutesy joke quickly turned into a fight.
Me: “Don’t play with my wattle; you’ll only make it worse!”
Hubby: “But I love everything about you, and it’s so cute!”
Me: “IT’S NOT CUTE!”
Gravity is not our friend as we age. As an exercise and fitness professional, I know that exercising muscles in our bodies keeps them toned and helps keep the skin attached to the tissue underneath, so it makes sense to me that exercising facial muscles would do the same. However, exercising the face is tough for at least two reasons: there are a lot of small specialized muscles (43, in fact) and unlike most of the body’s muscles, most facial muscles have only a single bony attachment, and some have none at all.
Read MoreWhitney Houston Was Refused Facelift After Medical Exam – Weeks Before Death
Such sad news that one of our favorite song birds left us recently. Whitney Houston had long been one of my favorite stars and her voice was magical when she sang songs that demonstrated her range of talent.
Several articles were released after her passing suggesting that she had contemplated a surgical face lift and that her surgeon, Dr. Marc Mani refused the singers request. I understand that this young, beautiful and talented woman was denied the procedure due to medical testing for heart, liver and lung function.
