Hello. I'm Carole Maggio. Welcome to my monthly newsletter. I've received so many world wide requests from clients for ongoing, up to date tips on facial fitness and body care that I feel a monthly newsletter is the most effective tool in communicating cutting edge information on this subject. I've been teaching Facercise exercises one on one for over 30 years. In the mid 1995 era, when my first book came out, my office was swamped with calls and questions about the exercises which had become, overnight, a world wide sensation. Since then I have personally face trained thousands of clients face to face, but I have many millions of clients who have learned to FACERCISE from my books and DVD's.

Since I have recently initiated FACERCISE ON THE WEB (FOTW), I realize now, more than ever, that each person learns differently and each person's face has unique areas of concern. While the book and the DVD are excellent beginning training tools, they cannot, by themselves, create the perfect environment for maximum benefits because of the following:

The book doesn't allow the client to learn the timing and tempo of the exercises or see the facial movements in real time. While the client who utilizes my DVD is able  to master the the timing and tempo, that client is still unable to master the exact nuance of the exercises.  This is because the client is unable to see the small, subtle movement of each muscle as they progress through the exercises.  The wonderful thing about FOTW is that I can see the client's face and they can see mine and it's real one on one training, just as though I were there teaching the client in person.  As a corolary, just because a person goes to a gym and lifts weights on their own doesn't mean they are lifting correctly.  A personal trainer makes all the difference in the world in a weight training regimen and the same is true for a face training regimen.

I teach exercises specifically designed to address the individual client's facial needs. Face to face, I can immediately correct any mistakes I see being made and because of this, the client gets maximum benefits from the exercises. The client learns to do exercises specifically designed to address their individual needs. I also make a CD of the training lesson for the client's daily use.

The one hour private class for a FACERCISE ON THE WEB training session is $200.00. To utilize these web sessions, you would need a web cam or a MAC computer. We connect via SKYPE.

I always tell people my age (62) when we begin the web classes because I want people to see for themselves that although you can't help getting older, you don't have to look older. That's been my mantra for the last 30 years. Who says you can't have it all?

NEWS ITEMS OF THE MONTH

WITHOUT A TRACE

As I have always told my clients, the nose grows throughout the adult life. It lengthens and widens as we age, a fact confirmed by Dr. David Rosenberg, a prominent New York cosmetic surgeon in the August. 2008 issue of Vogue magazine. To combat this biological inconvenience, I suggest to all my clients that they make sure to do the nose shortening exercise. This will save you thousand of dollars by not having to undergo a "Nose-Lift" down the line. We all know that a longer and wider nose ages the face dramatically. FACERCISE's Nose Shortening Exercise keeps the nose looking short and narrow with no surgery or down time. We also know that any surgical nose lift will prematurely diminish the width of your wallet. That part of the surgery is definitely guaranteed. Which would you prefer to do?

THIS WAY TO JOY!

In the August 2008 issue of SELF Magazine, actress Rebecca Romijn states that "I'm 100 percent Botox free. I do facial exercises like squinching your cheeks up, like a natural face-lift." Rebecca is a smart girl. She knows that she will stay beautiful for life without having to undergo costly cosmetic procedures, simply by doing her facial exercises.

TIP OF THE MONTH

BEAUTIFUL HANDS?

The morning treatment for lovely hands is to briskly dry brush the top of your hands with 20 rapid strokes, using the Sisal Louffa Mitt. Then pat on Vitamin C Serum and sunblock over the Serum. The evening program consists of washing the top of your hands with your facial cleanser and then allow the skin to dry for a half hour. Dry brush the tops of your hands with 20 rapid strokes and then pat Retinol all over the top of your hands. The weekly program is to give yourself a "hand facial", using the Face Lift To Go product. After giving your hands a "facial", apply the vitamin C Serum and then apply sunblock. Give your hands a helping hand.

LICENSEE OF THE MONTH

"Something that mimics liposuction at a fraction of the cost is a miracle for those on a budget and even for those who aren't.  Watching a client's pant size drop dramatically is always a natural high for me.  The before and after pictures are always amazing."

EXERCISE OF THE MONTH

NOSE SHORTENER

Starting to look like Pinocchio lately? Well then, here's the exercise for you. Grasp the bridge of your nose with your thumb and index finger as though you were pinching and pushing down on the bridge of your nose. With your other index finger, push your nose tip up and hold it up. With your mouth closed, pull your upper lip down and release it 35 times.

If you have an extremely wide nose, pinch the tip of your nose with your thumb and index finger. Push your nose tip up with your index finger and hold it up. Repeat the above exercise. The difference is that you're pinching the bridge of your nose in the first exercise and the tip of your nose in the second one.

If your nose is crooked, push your nose tip up with your index finger and then push to the opposite side of the crook. Repeat the above exercise. This will straighten out your nose in a very short period of time.

Dear Carole,

I've been aware of FACERCISE for some time now, but for some reason I never seemed to get around to "getting with the program." As a facial esthetician and professional make- up artist, I'm well aware of how the underpinnings of our faces are affected by time. As the 55th birthday began to approach, I noticed how much change had occured in the last year, most liketly due to menopause. The first reaction was irritation, followed closely by depression - what the heck do I do about this that doesn't require thousands of dollars and a doctor's services?! Out came the FACERCISE DVD I purchased from you last year. Hoping against hope that it would be as effective as promised, I dedicated myself to my twice daily work-outs. Well, I'm here to say that my only regret is that I didn't have a camera to get a before picture!. WOW!. I had the usual litany of complaints to deal with - - lowered eyelids, a couple of lines at the top of my upper lip, slumped jawline and neckline and lengthwise lines at the sides of my face and the onset of the dreaded "granny chin". ARGH... I just jumped in and worked. I stopped obsessing with the mirror and decided to let FACERCISE do its job. The day to day comments have been more telling than any "before" picture. Countless folks have reacted with genuine suprise when I tell them I just had my 55th birthday.

Thanks again for everything.  My new business name is Faces Going Places in Concord, CA.

Carole,

I had been doing the FACERCISE exercises for four years, using both your book and your DVD's. I felt, being in my 50's, I could use a boost and enrolled for a Facercise On The Web class with you, one on one. Seeing your face and knowing your 62 years of age really inspired me. With the use of the computers, I could see your face - you could see mine and you quickly assessed the exercises I needed for some positive changes. My nasal labial lines and the thinning of my lips and neck were my biggest concerns. After a one hour session with you, I knew I would see quick and positive results and I sure did. I have been using the CD you made for me to follow daily for three weeks now and I am extremely satisfied with my results. I am very glad to have taken this step. I invested a little money and got a big improvement in my appearance. The cost of the class was less than one shot of Botox.

Thanks, again,

~Jan Fussion

Carole,

Just a quick note to tell you how much I love your dry brushing techniques. What difference this has made to my skin. I no longer have to use body lotion. My skin feels silky smooth on its own. The skin on my upper arms and my inner thighs has tightened up substantially. I've noticed that when I dry brush in the morning, I seem to have considerably more energy all day long. Have you had other clients tell you that?

Thanks for your newsletters and all your technique tips. They are greatly appreciated.
