Years ago (before I needed to!!) I started doing a programme of facial muscle exercises from the book by Eva Taylor. I honestly can't remember if it had any effect or not but now I DO need to try and stem the ever increasing pull of gravity on my 50+ year old face so I wondered if anyone had ever done something like this and had noticeable results?

I have never done them so can't give you advice but....your post reminded me of THIS VIDEO that a pea posted on the pod a few years ago.  |

I had an eccentric aunt who used to do the exercises but her sisters (including my mother) insisted it didn't do anything for her. Of course she drank like a fish, so I'm pretty sure she was going to lack skin tone anyway.  I don't know that I put much stock in the facial exercises, but I do think there are other things that can help, like avoiding the sun. However that ship sailed for me many years ago. I've never been a smoker but that causes wrinkles, too. The one thing now I really should change is sleeping with my face pressed into the pillow. I'm a stomach sleeper and I sleep like a log every night so I hate to try to adopt a new sleeping position. And disneypal... I remember that video! Hilarious. And that woman has some prodigious hair going on, doesn't she? |

That video is hilarious  I don't tan my face, always use sunscreen, have never smoked etc and those things are great but won't do anything to maintain or improve the muscle tone underneath and it's the softening jaw line that I hate. Logically if we can tone other muscles, arms, abs etc, why not facial muscles? |
