Each month I get various questions from clients. But mostly, they want to know what products to use, in what order to use them and how often. So below are my product usage recommendations for the different skin types. I hope this helps clarify things!

Dry/Normal Skin Program:

Morning routine: Don't wash your face, just spray with the Heavy Water Spritz. (If your face is extremely dry, you can first use the Nourishing E Oil sparingly.)  Now pat your entire face and neck, including your under eye area, with either EGF Repair Serum or Vitamin C Serum. Spray face again with Heavy Water Spritz. Next, apply EGF Repair Cream (if using EGF Repair Serum) to your entire face and neck. Or if you are using Vitamin C Serum, you can use the EGF Repair Cream, Ultra Hyaluronic Cream or Advanced Anti-aging Cream (or rotate them), and apply to your entire face and neck. (For the best results, rotate the serums and creams.) Spray face again with Heavy Water Spritz. Now squeeze a pea-size amount of Protective Sunblock into the palm of your hand. Spray the sunblock in your palm with the Heavy Water Spritz to create an emollient cream. Now pat sunblock mixture all over face, neck and top of hands. Spray face again with Heavy Water Spritz.

Evening routine:  Wash face with the Creamy Milk Cleanser. Allow your skin to dry a full 30 minutes. Now pat Retinol Skin Conditioner over entire face, (including under-eye area), neck and top of hands.

Weekly:  Use the Anti-aging Mask three or four times a week. Leave it on your face for a full 15 minutes.

Morning routine:  Wash your face with Pore Refinement Cleanser. Spray face with Heavy Water Spritz. Pat following areas of the face with EGF Repair Serum or Vitamin C Serum: under eye area, above lips, sides of face and neck. Now pat the following areas with the Brightening Cream: forehead, nose, inner cheeks and chin. Spray face again with the Heavy Water Spritz. Now squeeze a pea-size amount of Protective Sunblock into palm of your hand. Spray the sunblock with the Heavy Water Spritz to create an emollient cream. Now pat sunblock all over face, neck and top of hands. Spray again with Heavy Water Spritz.

Evening routine:  Wash your face with the Pore Refinement Cleanser. Spray face with Heavy Water Spritz. Now pat the Vitamin C or EGF Serum under eyes, above lips, sides of face and neck. Next, pat the Brightening Cream on forehead, nose, inner cheeks and chin. Spray your face again with the Heavy Water Spritz.

Three Times a Month:  Use the Face Lift to Go Mask ~ leave it on your face for a full 45 minutes.

I get numerous phone calls on a daily basis from clients who have all kinds of questions about topics from A to Z. Unfortunately, I don't have time to adequately cover the answers to random questions on the spur of the moment. However, I do have time to devote to clients who have made an appointment to talk to me on myriad issues. Consequently, I have instituted my Conversation with Carole program, where clients can make an appointment to talk to me, one-on-one, for an hour. During an appointment, I can cover topics like skin care, hair styles, make-up, vitamins for energy and health, how to walk in 5 inch heels all day, how to get up at 4 am and work and play until 10 pm (at 64) and not be tired. We can talk about how to get a sleek, smooth and toned face and body and maintain it for a lifetime. We can talk about anything you want to discuss. You choose the topic and we're on.

What has transpired since I instituted the Conversation with Carole is really an amazing personal connection with a great many of my long term clients. It's been a wonderful experience to actually be able to converse, one-on-one, with clients who have been using my products for many years. Clients who have the same goals and aspirations as I. At age 64, I find that personal connections are ever so important. I appreciate you all.

The cost for a one-on-one hour chat is normally $150, but for this month only, Conversation With Carole is being offered for a special price of $100. I have information that will definitely change your life for the better and I'm looking forward to sharing a lifetime of knowledge with you. So make a list of questions and give me a call. Book your appointment now.

Dear Carole,

I’m so glad I finally got the web camera connected and we were able to meet for the private class on Skype. The exercises you gave me were so easy to learn with the one-on-one coaching. I’m really enjoying the Ultimate Facercise exercises. I have been faithfully using the new CD every day, twice a day like you said. It’s really amazing to me how quick I’ve been able to tone up my entire face. The new jaw exercise has really produced great results for me… my jawline looks like it did when I was in my thirties! I feel confident looking at my reflection in the mirror again!

Thanks so much
-Tina S., Smithfield, Rhode Island

One hour private FACERCISE classes are now available via Skype. The sessions include an MP3 or audio CD of the personalized exercises. This is an invaluable tool when mastering the FACERCISE regimen. Many FACERCISERS do the exercises incorrectly, even though they have read and re-read my book or purchased my DVDs. With a session via webcam, you will be able to see me perform the exercises and I can see your face and technique and correct anything you are doing wrong. Also, I can instruct you on some new exercises which are not in the book or on the DVD. The price for a one hour session is $200. Call for available appointment times.


Remember to keep FACERCISING each day ~ twice a day to look your very best! Always remember that the results of a Facelift, no matter how good, are only temporary and will need to be repeated down the road. Facelifts, Liquid Facelifts, Chemical Peels and Botox are also very costly and all have inherent risks. The Facercise Program targets the 57 muscles of the face and neck and allows you to create positive changes that can be built upon over time. Keep a photo log of yourself to track your progress to help keep you motivated! Remember, the Ultimate Facercise Super Set gets you through the entire program in less than eight minutes. That’s not much of a time commitment to create and maintain the face you want!

Carole Maggio Day Spa offers private FACERCISE classes for men and women. Before & after photos are taken at the onset of the course and the client returns in a month’s time for after pictures. During the private Facercise class, there’s an emotional connection that occurs when the client and I meet, and it instills not only a desire, but a discipline to remain focused and consistent. Also, meeting them face-to-face allows me to concentrate on their specific facial needs and create a personalized program for them. I can also make instant corrections regarding body posturing, resistance, visualization techniques, etc. Call 1.800.597.3555 or 301.316.1818 for details.

The EGF Repair Serum is a powerhouse treatment serum. Containing Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Green Tea Extract and Aloe Vera, this intensive repair serum not only stimulates cell growth, but contains moisturizing anti-oxidant properties. In men, EGF is readily available in the skin. By contrast, since EGF is androgen-dependent, most women lack EGF, potentially allowing the skin to age more quickly. Morning and evening applications will insure continual soft and supple skin texture. Clients are reporting their lip lines are gone! Exceptional for Normal/Dry skin types. Gluten Free.

The normal price for this intensive repair serum is $80. This month only, it’s being offered for just $50. Remember, offer only good while supplies last!

PLEASE REMEMBER YOU MUST CALL FOR THIS PRICE - IT IS NOT OFFERED ONLINE.
CALL 1.800.597.3555 or 1.310.316.1818 TO RECEIVE THIS SPECIAL PRICE.

The Eyes Have It ~ or do they? Photo retouching has been a standard in the media business for years, but apparently the latest Olay campaign went a little too far. Pressure was put on Olay for misleading consumers and they were forced to yank the ad. As you can see, in the “Reality” photo below, Twiggy, the beloved model from the 1960’s looks much like a 60-something woman, who never caved into the pressures of plastic surgery or the likes. However, in the ad that was pulled on the left, she looks like a 20 or 30-something model. Twiggy herself states that she wants to age gracefully and that she is “grateful for her lines of wisdom.” And that…. she can “pull it together when she has to.” But we think Twiggy would be better served by Facercising her face every day to a more toned, sculpted and lifted countenance. She should also dry brush her face to get a more youthful glow, and always use good skincare products with actives that really work. What do you think?

In a recent article from More Magazine, they interviewed some of the top Skin Docs to find out about their skincare routines in order to maintain radiant, healthy and line-free skin. Some of their solutions weren’t quite as drastic as you might think. Here are some of the things they mentioned:

• Exfoliate ~ either with a cleanser or more aggressive exfoliator “…to ensure that no skin dulling dead cells are hanging around.”
• Fight free radicals on the outside and in ~ “Damage from free radicals is one of the primary causes of fine lines and uneven tone.” Two antioxidants mentioned were Vitamin C and green tea. But these docs don’t rely on topical antioxidants alone; they eat healthy diets rich in antioxidant fruits like acai or blueberries.
• Protection is a priority ~ To the skin docs, applying sunscreen is like brushing teeth. “Most apply a thin layer as the last step of their skincare regimen to prevent UV exposure, the chief cause of premature wrinkles and discoloration.”
• They Rave About Retin-A ~ After exfoliating in the evening, they apply either RX options or an over-the-counter Retinol. Vitamin A has been shown to speed up the rate which the body sheds dead skin. But it also stimulates collagen production, making skin look plumper and fine lines smoother.
• They freeze and fill in moderation~ Most of the dermatologists admitted to using fillers that contained hyaluronic acid, but even though they get these treatments at cost, they agreed to no more than 3-4 times a year, which they felt was moderate use.
• Maintaining skin bounce is essential ~ Although retinoids boost collagen and elastin production in the skin, they all agreed that wasn’t quite enough. So they applied a second topical containing either Peptides or EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor.)  (Our Advanced Antiaging Cream contains peptides & our EGF Repair Serum & Cream contain Epidermal Growth Factor.)
• They sleep on their Backs ~  “Sleeping on your face not only etches wrinkles into the skin, but fluid pools on the side of the face that’s pressed against the pillow, stretching out the skin.” They agreed they could always tell what side their patients slept on.
• They Exercise for Better Skin ~ “I get stress relief from working out, which I think keeps my worries off my face,” declares Dr. Downie. But one caveat noted by plastic surgeon, Dr. Rodan, was regarding high impact workouts like running after age 40. According to the doc, “…over time, pounding causes tiny tears in the microscopic attachments in the skin, which can ultimately lead to sagging.”
• “FACIAL EXERCISES ARE A MUST!”... ~ Carole Maggio

Hi Carole,

I recently purchased both the Beauty Face Mitt and the Bamboo Glove. I started out alternating using the Beauty Face Mitt one day and the Bamboo Glove the next. I liked the results so much, I then decided to use the Bamboo Glove in the morning and the Beauty Face Mitt in the evening. I have to tell you, the results it’s produced have been simply amazing! Together with my daily Facercise routine and the wonderful EGF serum and cream, my face is positively glowing, toned and taut. My girlfriends keep asking me what I am doing different with my skin and keep insinuating I’ve had “something done.”  I keep telling them, but they just can’t believe it!

Thank you so much
-Diane from Kalamazoo, Michigan

Dear Ms. Maggio,

I’m only 28 and was only five pounds over my normal weight, but I developed cellulite on the front and back of my thighs. Nothing I did like diet, exercise or even body wraps made it budge. I was getting pretty bummed until I did a Google search and found your program. I used the sisal louffa mitt like you showed in the DVD and then the No Lipo Lipo massage with the E oil every day for two weeks without fail. It took a lot of dedication, but by the end of the two weeks, I couldn’t believe my eyes. My thighs really looked thinner, but I hadn’t lost any weight. The cellulite that was driving me crazy was gone. Maybe it’s because of my young age, but I never thought anything could work that fast. I am truly amazed!

Thank you ever so much!
