Many of my clients are using my No Lipo Lipo technique to reduce and eliminate stubborn cellulite. But did you know that daily dry brushing also provides health benefits by assisting in the detoxification process? Many of my clients who adhere to dietary detoxification programs use dry brushing to complement the process. Dry brushing the skin is a tried and true technique that hails from the Baden Baden Spa in Germany. Dry brushing is invigorating, easy, and an inexpensive way to keep the skin glowing and youthful looking! Dry Brushing the skin will:

1. Reduce or eliminate cellulite

2. Remove dead skin layers

3. Stimulate new skin cell turnover

4. Stimulate oil-producing glands

5. Stimulate circulation

6. Strengthen the immune system

7. Cleanse the lymphatic system

8. Tighten the skin and eliminate sagging

9. Tone the muscles

10. Improve function of the nervous system

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 $150.. 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,

Normally, I'm a skeptic when it comes to beauty products or fads. But, after recently losing a tremendous amount of weight, I was really considering getting a facelift or fillers for the new creases and facial sagging that came along with the weight loss. Luckily, I ended up finding your Facercise book and decided to give the exercises a try. After only two weeks, I started to see results. A friend said to me, "You look different but I can't pinpoint what it is." That gave me the incentive to continue and to book the Skype class with you. I’m so very happy that I did!  Not only does my skin have a rosy glow, but my crow’s feet have diminished, my nasal folds appear less deep, and my face feels nice and tight! Thank you for creating a great program, even for skeptics like me!

Sincerely,
Rose D., Akron, OH

One hour private FACERCISE classes are now available via Skype. 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 $225, and it includes a DVD. 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.

EGF Repair Cream is an intensive moisturizing cream for normal/dry skin. It contains Epidermal Growth Factor, which is instrumental in mopping up free radicals, as well as Spin Trap, the “intelligent antioxidant”. Restorative Retinol, Aloe Vera and Pumpkin Seed Oil act together as a team to heal and repair over-processed skin. It is especially calming and healing for mature, dry skin. In men, EGF is readily available in the skin. By contrast, since EGF is androgen dependent, most women lack sufficient EGF, potentially allowing the skin to age more quickly. Twice daily application (am and pm) will insure more luminous skin.

The normal price for this amazing restorative cream is $75. This month, it’s being offered at just $50. Remember - this offer is only good while supplies last!

PLEASE REMEMBER YOU MUST CALL FOR THIS PRICE - IT IS NOT OFFERED ONLINE.

There have been many discussions regarding the safety and efficacy of facial exercises. One such discussion involved New York dermatologist, Dr. Neal Schultz, who claims that facial exercises will eventually stretch and damage the skin. According to Dr. Schultz, the skin only has a certain amount of stretches and eventually all of those stretches will break the collagen and elastic bands in the skin. He contends that facial exercises do more harm than good. I find it interesting that Dr. Schultz, who is a dermatologist, would even suggest that facial movement or stretching is the main cause of wrinkling and sagging since everyone knows that UV overexposure is the main contributory factor to premature wrinkling and sagging of the skin. The fact that he also mentions that the skin has only a certain number of stretches before it breaks the collagen and elastin is also ridiculous. There was a study performed by the Lancôme Marketing Research Institute that concluded that we perform somewhere in the neighborhood of 15,000 facial movements in a single day. If we followed Dr. Schultz’s’ logic, by age 50, we should all look like Methuselah without make-up and he was reportedly 969 years old when he cashed in his chips.

In 2007, there was a study performed by the Japanese Society for Investigative Dermatology. It should be noted that the Journal produced by the JSID serves as an international forum for the work of all dermatological scientists. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between decreased elasticity in the skin and the formation of wrinkles. The study involved females from Tokyo, Japan aged 18 to 76 years old. The method used for measuring skin elasticity at the corner of each participant’s eye was a Cutometer SEM575™. Wrinkle levels at the corner of the eye were determined from three-dimensional analysis of surface replicas. The study compared both elasticity and skin roughness. The results of the study were very interesting when comparing the three age groups ~ the young group (18-29); the medium group (30-48), and the older group (50-76). Elasticity parameters were compared and there was a significant difference between the young and the medium group, as well as between the medium and the older group. However, when comparing the roughness of the skin, the most significant difference was found between the medium and the older group.

These results suggest that changes in skin roughness values lags about 20 years behind changes in skin elasticity values. This would suggest that, despite a strong relationship, elasticity parameters are unlikely to be an independent predictor of wrinkle levels. The amount of UV exposure to skin with decreased elasticity seems to be the most important variable that determines wrinkle levels. This information furthers the case that normal everyday facial movements, or movements from facial exercise, do not increase facial wrinkles; the amount of UV exposure seems to be the main predictor of skin wrinkling.

Likewise, Paula Begoun, author and syndicated columnist, shares similar views to Dr. Schultz. Paula recently made claims on her website that: “I am completely bewildered by the enthusiasm facial exercises seem to generate. I get swarms of letters from women telling me that I have my non-exercised head screwed on wrong when I suggest that facial exercises don't work. But is there any research that explains the mania surrounding all this stretching of the face muscles?” She went on to say that, “Facial exercise is not helpful for worn out collagen, elastin, or the skin's fat layer, because none of that is about the muscles. It is especially not helpful for the lines caused by facial movement! Instead, facial exercises only make those areas appear more lined. The reason Botox injections into the muscles of the forehead and facial lines work to create a smoother face is because Botox prevents the muscles from moving.”

The fact that Paula, whose only real tie to the skin care industry is as a former make-up artist, would make such a comment that muscles are not important is also baffling to me. She is clearly missing the point here. Paula is not a doctor but Dr. Oz and Dr. Perricone are medical doctors and they both endorse facial exercises as helpful in firming and toning facial features. Building and firming muscles via facial exercise does not replace worn out collagen, elastin or the skin’s fat layer, it compensates for those losses by creating more volume and filling out the face and therefore smoothing the fine lines and wrinkles.

In addition, building muscles that are directly attached into the skin will lift the skin because the skin has no choice but to follow. I find it interesting that she would recommend Botox as a cure for aging skin. Pumping the face with a toxin will not address loss of volume or lack of elasticity. You need to address the underlying problem, which is lack of muscle tone and volume loss. She then attacks something natural like facial exercise and wonders where the studies are to prove it works. I would like to counter that comment with where are all the studies to confirm that Botox is effective and safe for long-term use? We really do not know the systemic effects, not to mention what all of that needling will eventually do to the skin. Suffice it to say, we don’t need studies to prove that exercise works. We already know that exercising the body works to tone and build muscles and lifts the skin of the body; the same principle applies to the face.

Contrary to what Paula states, Dermatologist, Dr. Nicholas Perricone, shares Dr. Oz’s viewpoint regarding facial exercises. On his Blog Page, MD Perricone, he states that, “If your skin has already begun to lose its tone and elasticity, natural face lift options are available.” Dr. Perricone states that, in fact, there are several ways to firm up your skin and that some of the best ways involve natural remedies such as proper diet and nutrition, taking supplements and getting and plenty of exercise. But Dr. Perricone wasn’t only referring to working the muscles of your body. He stated that, “Exercise is one of the most important practices to maintain for firming your skin. Exercise will help circulation which ultimately results in skin remaining firm and toned.” Dr. Perricone sums it up succinctly by stating, "Simple facial exercises are great for tightening the skin of the face."

SO KEEP FACERCISING, EVERYONE. DOCTOR'S ORDERS.

Spin Trap
Ever wonder what exactly is a Spin Trap? Spin Trap, also known as Phenyl Butyl Nitrone (PBN), is one of the latest advances in anti-aging technology in skincare today. Spin Trap is a form of nitrogen and functions as an antioxidant, but not in the traditional way. Rather than simply destroying free radicals, it restores balance to unstable molecules. Scientists have proven that nitrone Spin Trap is highly effective in reversing the signs of aging in the skin. Spin Trap defends the skin against free radicals and other environmental damage, hence earning its name ~ the intelligent antioxidant!

Background: when oxygen is metabolized by the body, cells create byproducts called free radicals. These highly toxic, rogue free radicals travel through the cell's structure resulting in cellular damage; they can also harm DNA. Evidence is mounting that most of the degenerative diseases originate from free radical reactions. Rogue free radicals have been implicated in diseases like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, inflammatory joint disease, and more. They are also a major cause of premature aging. So we don't want these molecules traveling out of control throughout our bodies! Antioxidant supplementation is one way to live a healthier life past middle age. In skincare, antioxidants are good, but Spin Trap is even better! Spin Trap converts the rogue free radicals back into vital oxygen and redirects them for the deepest tissue respiration, which is necessary for all healthy cells. 

In his book, The Wrinkle Cure, Dr. Nicholas Perricone remarks that Spin Traps are capable of "Stopping Free-Radical Damage Before it Begins ..." and that such agents “create a barrier - a trap - that holds free radicals in place” so that they can be "stopped before they scar the cells that make up your skin." Dr. Perricone also explains that researchers found that, “the traps actually prevented the free radicals from moving from place to place and damaging cells."

For all of these reasons, we’ve incorporated Spin Trap into a number of my products, including, The EGF Repair Serum, EGF Repair Cream, Ultra Hyaluronic Moisture Cream, Anti-Age Moisture Mask and Retinol Skin Conditioner.

It’s hard to believe that ads like this once existed. Ladies, nothing in life comes easy!  Remember to continue daily dry brushing and keep up with your No Lipo Lipo routine to keep your body toned and taut and cellulite free. Come summertime, you’ll be happy you did!

Dear Carole,
I’m so glad I purchased the new Ultimate Facercise DVD. The exercises are really helping to lift my face and fill out my fine lines! Also, I have long wanted to have my nose fixed because it curved to the right side so badly; it was the one feature of my face that I really disliked! I was actually saving to have it done. So was I ever happy to see that you had a version of the Nose Transformer to address this issue on the new DVD! I have been using the DVD twice a day for five weeks now, and you know what? For the first time in my life, my nose is straight! I am so grateful I didn’t have to resort to plastic surgery to fix it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Best wishes,
Monia Vargas, San Juan, Puerto Rico

Hello Carole,
I love the new exercises on the Ultimate DVD. The New Jaw Toner and Neck and Chin Lift Exercises have smoothed and toned my entire neck and jaw area. My face is looking more like 35 than 45 and I am so very grateful! Aging isn’t easy but with Facercise on my side, I feel more confident, alert and beautiful!

Sincerely,
Theresa Fitzgerald, Janesville, WI


Dear Carole,
I purchased the new horsehair mitt about four weeks ago. At first, it seemed a little rough on my skin but now I am totally used to it. The difference it’s made on my skin is amazing. I use the No Lipo Lipo program, and was at the maintenance stage, doing the massage 2-3 times a week. But I have to say, the addition of the new mitt has made a huge difference in my results. I don’t know if it’s because it’s breaking down the fatty tissue more or stimulating more or what, but WOW! I do love all of your programs and products and just wanted to tell you that.

Sincerely,
Catherine Crowley, Port St. Lucy, FL

Dear Ms. Maggio,
Your No Lipo Lipo system rocks! I am 40 years old and the cellulite on my thighs was really driving me nuts. I first heard about you and your program on a KTLA news segment, but I just recently ordered the DVD. Being a transplant from Boston, now living in Southern California, I have become very body conscious. Everyone here seems so lean and fit and I wanted to be able to blend in. So I purchased the DVD about two months ago, and I am overwhelmed by my results! I’ve been able to firm up my thighs and calves and toned my stomach as well. No more muffin top for me!

Thank you ever so much,
Katie McFaddon, Manhattan Beach, CA
