Hello. I’m Carole Maggio. Welcome to my first newsletter. I’ve received so many worldwide requests from clients for ongoing, up to date tips on facial fitness and care that I felt a newsletter would be the most effective tool in communicating cutting edge information on this subject.

I’ve been called the “world’s foremost authority on facial fitness and exercise” and I’ve been helping people exercise and change their facial features for over a quarter of a century now. FACERCISE® was created in 1981 and has been used by countless millions of people all over the world who wanted to improve the way they look. Muscles are muscles, whether they are in the face, arms or legs. Exercising muscles keeps them firm and taut. If you really care about how you look (and who doesn’t), you exercise your facial muscles. It only takes a few minutes a day to do something truly beneficial for you and your face. Let’s “face” it. My mantra has always been “we can’t help getting older but we don’t have to look older.” There are only two days in your life that matter anymore - today and tomorrow.

Dry brushing is a truly remarkable technique which should be included in everyone’s daily regimen. Our skin is the largest organ of elimination on the human body. It needs to breathe and be allowed oxygenation. Removing the dead skin cells allows the body to emit toxic waste. This is why dry brushing is so important. It works from within. It assists the body in breaking down cellulite deposits, improves blood circulation and tightens skin, especially during the process of weight reduction.

Dry brushing helps improve muscle tone and prevents fat deposits from forming. Your skin will start to feel silky smooth and your fat deposits will diminish.

Dry bush exfoliation is best done in the morning before you shower. This is easy because the dry brush remains dry and so does your skin. You are simply sloughing off dead skin cells. When you begin the process you will be using a sisal louffa mitt. Sisal is a strong fiber similar to types of hemp. The FACERCISE® sisal louffa mitts and straps are imported from Germany and are the best available because they last for years and years. These wonderful beauty aides can be purchased on my webstore, found at Facercise.com. Mine is over 20 years old and still works as good as the day I purchased it. The sisal louffa mitt and strap may initially seem a little rough on your skin, but this is what you want. As your skin gradually begins to detox, there will be less sensitivity.

Brushing Technique:

Start by sitting on a stool or on the rim of your bath tub. You will be brushing each section of your body 10 times. Begin by brushing the bottom of the foot with the sisal louffa mitt from the toes to the heel. You repeat this procedure on the top of the foot, toes to ankles. Then you brush from the ankle to the knee, all around the leg. Proceed from the knee to the hip and then all around the thigh. Be sure to brush up the inner thighs. Brush with upward strokes over the entire buttock and hip areas.

Repeat the same sequence on the other leg.

Brush waist line with upward strokes, front to back. Brush the palm of the hand, from fingers to wrist. Repeat this procedure on the back of the hand, fingers to wrist. Brush upward from wrist to elbow, front and back. Brush upward from elbow to shoulder, front and back. Brush under the bust from side to center of body in a semi-circular stroke. This is all done with the mitt.

The back of the body presents a little different procedure. You will use the louffa strap for this treatment. Standing up, you apply the strap at the back of your ankles and shimmy the strap up the back of your body, up to your neck, in much the same way as you would use a towel to dry your back after a shower.

This dry brush exfoliation treatment is going to make your skin so soft and supple that you’ll think you’re back in high school.

One special note: I receive many thousands of email testimonials a month from all over the world and from time to time I will share some of them in this newsletter. The following was an email I received from a lady in Missouri, who suffered from rosacea. She wrote:

I really enjoy telling people about my freedom from rosacea. I will try to make this brief. I have fought rosacea for years. I tried every product my dermatologist offered. I was so frustrated. I had been doing facercise, and decided to write to you and see if you could help. You said to try the oily skin products for 2 weeks and not use the topical lotion for rosacea. I thought, wow I don't know if I can not use my topical lotion or not. The topical lotion didn't work all the time, but it did help. So I ordered your product . I can't tell you what a blessing your product has been. I have been using your product for several years now and I don't have any rosacea problems. I am rosacea free. You will be amazed.

This technique smoothes and tightens the skin, lifts the buttocks, flattens the stomach and reduces inches on the thighs. It also dramatically improves circulation in addition to minimizing the appearance of cellulite. Mimics liposuction at a fraction of the cost.

Average inches lost after 10 treatments is 8-14 inches. The change is dramatic. Ask to see the before and after pictures. You won't believe your eyes.
