This is my Aunt in the photo, can you believe she was 70?
When I used to babysit my little cousins ( in the photo, not so little now) she had a book by her bed on facial exercise by Eva Frazer, a lady in her 60's who looked radiant and youthful who swore by facial exercises.
As a young beauty therapist and still at college I was inquisitive and asked my Aunt what the book was for, and why facial exercise?
She showed me the book and I was hooked.
But why were people not doing it?
I found out why a few years later as I started work as a beauty therapist in a health studio, many of my clients had this book too, as it was a fad of that time.
I began to ask my clients why they didn't do the exercises and most of them said they felt they had to do all the 40 exercises Eva was demonstrating in her book, and they couldn't possibly find the time to exercise their faces.
So it became apparent to me that the secret was to not do all the exercises at once but to pick a few out to suit yourself, two or three, and then they are easily incorporated into a routine.
Bingo it worked!
It's not a new craze, this has been around for 40+ years.
Simple, easy and they work.
But it really does work????
YES, YES, YES, it really bloody does.
I have trialled it on myself and others by taking before and after photos and after two weeks there is clear evidence that these exercises work on toning the jaw, neck and face.
Luckily today people are enjoying the benefits of facial exercise and thankfully it is becoming a crucial part of an everyday skin routine.
Anne never had surgery on her face, ever, no fillers, no Botox. She did not look 70.
She passed the exercises on to me and my cousins and we all do them to this day.
