By Cynthia Rowland | May 8, 2012

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?

Stop Spending Cash Needlessly – Use Facial Exercise

By Cynthia Rowland | April 30, 2012

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.

Considering cosmetic surgery? You have to read this.

By Cynthia Rowland | April 20, 2012

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?

By Cynthia Rowland | April 2, 2012

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.

My Face Lift (Not): The Magic of Facial Exercise

By Cynthia Rowland | March 12, 2012

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!”

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.

Whitney Houston Was Refused Facelift After Medical Exam – Weeks Before Death

By Cynthia Rowland | February 28, 2012

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.
