I've been a fan of Anti-Aging Facial Exercises as long as I've been blogging - in fact, it was one of the
topics I first posted about - back in 2009! Rather than using fillers to plump up your face, Facial Exercise helps build muscle to keep skin looking youthful and taut (read more about it
here).
I was chatting with
Elaine and she mentioned that her friend Marnie of
Pelle Beauty uses Facial Exercises and has the MOST beautiful skin. I immediately asked for an introduction so that I could learn Marnie's beauty secrets - and share them with my readers too!
Here's why you'll want to read the rest of this post -
check out what 5 years of facial exercise has done for Marnie - she does
NOT look 44!
What facial exercise technique do you follow (I've heard of Carole
Maggio/Facercise and of Flex Effect, I personally follow Ageless If You
Dare)?
I use the
Carole Maggio version of Facercise. It's the only one I've
used. I got her
book on Amazon and then later on her
DVD.
At what age did you start facial exercise? What results have you noticed?
I believe I started Facercise back when I was 39. I just recently
turned 44 so that would be about 5 years. Time flies. When I started
doing the facial exercises I was happy with how my skin looked so I was
aiming for "maintenance", but as time went on, I noticed how toned my
face looks, and that I have fuller lips due to the lip exercise. These
exercises are great because it allows you to age very nicely. When the
muscles under your face are toned, the skin doesn't sag.
How often do you use Facial exercise - how long does it take daily/weekly?
The instructions say to use the exercise twice a day, but after a year
of doing that I changed it to once a day. I do them at night right
after I remove my makeup. I'll put on my facial oil, massage it in very
well and then do the exercises. These exercises are also great as they
act as a face massage.
What are your other anti-aging tips/favorite products.
That is easy...
Pelle Beauty :)))) I use all of my skincare products.
They work well with this program. I couldn't live without the
facial oil blends. They are so important for healthy skin. I also highly recommend
an overall healthy diet. Your diet does greatly impact your skin too.
With beauty and skin health its a complete package. A healthy lifestyle
greatly enhances your skin.
Want to meet Marnie in person? Blush Pretty Studio are hosting a Pelle Beauty Event on May 28th from 5-7 pm. If you're in the GTA and would like to attend, click here! To learn more about why Marnie created Pelle Beauty, read her interview here.
"A luxe and decadent line of natural and vegan face
oils, Pelle Beauty is known for its use of essential oils to fortify the

beautiful complexion through a natural and

Thank you Marnie for sharing your beauty secrets! I'm going to purchase the Facercise
book immediately - the lip exercise sounds amazing. This has motivated
to be more regular with my Facial Exercise program - it DEFINITELY
pays off!
What is your anti-aging regimen?

P.S. I've found this article, which demonstrates some of Facercise's most popular exercises, including the lip plumper! And here's a video from Carole Maggio showing the Lip Plumper exercise in action.
