Anti-Aging Facial Exercises...Worth Looking Into

Facial Exercises...Do They Work?
I don't want to look like I'm 20 because I am somewhat realistic here, but I DO want to look like a less tired, less wrinked version of ME.
Sound familiar?
I mean, who doesn't want to look as good as they can for as long as they can? I know I do. I didn't think I'd look this old already at age 45, so my goal was to do something to change all that.
Anti-Aging Facial Exercises - Why?
I asked myself what it was I really wanted to accomplish, and what I was willing to do in terms of making my goal a reality. I stopped to think about my reasons for wanting to improve my appearance. Was it vanity? Defiance of accepting aging gracefully?I came to the conclusion that I still consider myself to young, and the face in the mirror does not reflect how I feel about myself. Blame it on bad genes or a past smoking habit, but it is what it is and I want to do something to make it better.
Also, I have a true story to share here, which was probably the biggest motivator for me. I am an "older" mom, who had my only child when I was 38. On more than one occasion, I have either picked my son up from school, or have attended an event, and some children asked my son if I was his GRANDMA. Ouch. Now if that isn't motivation, I sure don't know what is.
Now, I don't really think I look like his grandma, but when I look in the mirror and see the crow's feet, the jowls, the "hoods" which have become my eyelids, my sagging neck...I can see why the kids thought I was someone other than a mom. I'm actually grateful for these comments because it really made me take a good look at myself and realize I had to do something about it.
Anti-Aging Facial Exercises - Plastic Surgery Alternatives
I looked at information about plastic surgery, facelifts, dermabrasion/exfoliation/acid peels, home facials, light therapy, skin care/anti-aging products and yes, there is an awful lot of information out there. It is truly overwhelming.
For me, plastic surgery is just not an option. I don't judge those who prefer plastic surgery, but it's a choice and I prefer not to go that route. I don't like the idea of surgery in general and the thought of cutting my one and only face and pulling it back or taking skin off or whatever the procedure might be really, really does not appeal to me.
I'm a simple gal from the midwest...a wife and mother who has a full-time job, a household to run and the idea of plastic surgery just does not match my lifestyle.
How would I get time off work for the procedure and subsequent recovery? How would I explain the bandages and bruising once I returned to work? What if there were complications? What if I didn't like how it turned out?
We've all seen the horror stories of plastic surgery, but sometimes I look at those who consider their surgery a "success" and think how fake and plastic they look. There are some very good looking celebrities who - in my opinion - didn't need plastic surgery in the first place, and after it was done, just don't look like themselves anymore.
The thought of injections into my face completely turns me off, too.

Anti-Aging Facial Exercises - It's Easy!
My Experience and Opinion...
I bought Carolyn's Facial Fitness program and I really do love it. I took my time learning the exercises properly (about 2 weeks) and now that I have them memorized, it really only takes 15 minutes a day to run through the program. She even gives you exercises you can do when you are washing/moisterizing your face!
I've only been doing the program for a couple of weeks, and I can feel a difference already. It's a great stress reliever and the skin care products are wonderful.

Carolyn, Hi! My cheeks are noticeably lifted. I have good bones, but it's great to see the shape of my face...the contours. My upper eyelid wasn't too bad, but my whole eye area is more alive and firm. I can see the area on the sides of my mouth firming up. I can feel more firmness under my chin. And....compliments galore! Only from men, though, oh not true, my hairstylist, but she already thought I was 10 yrs younger...LOL! One guy told me I have beautiful skin. Most of that is due to exercises, I am sure! Soooo, Thank You!!!!!!!!!!! You've sent me great materials, Carolyn, thank you for that, too. Happy Holidays!!!!! Laurie

Hi Carolyn, I purchased your exercise kit 3 months ago and let me tell you, this WORKS! I am 60 years old and my daughter, who is 42, told me I looked her age. I always looked younger than my age, but she grabbed me a week ago (at that three month phase that you spoke about) and asked me if I had something done to my face! She thought I had some type of cosmetic work done. LOL! I have never done anything and don't feel that I ever would. I always seek alternative/natural means and believe there is an alternative. While I had done facial exercises, I never found any that work as well as yours! I am actually anxious to do them now, as I see real results! I am excited to see subtle, but sure, changes daily. This is GREAT! I feel I have a noninvasive hope for my face not sagging and wrinkling, as I grow older. Thank you so much for this!!!!! I am also doing the hand exercises, because I can see my face is younger than my hands. Thank you! Pamela
