5 Reasons to Break Up with Botox

break up with BotoxAwards season is a big reminder of the popularity—and overuse—of unnatural anti-aging methods like Botox. While freezing muscles with Botox is a popular quick fix for wrinkles and fine lines, they come with their fair share of risks and drawbacks. Read on to discover five compelling reasons to break up with Botox and get more natural looking results with facial exercises.

1. Health Risks and Side Effects

Botox, derived from the botulinum toxin, works by temporarily paralyzing muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. While it achieves smoother skin, this toxin can have adverse effects on your health, ranging from allergic reactions to more severe complications such as difficulty breathing or swallowing. Common side effects like bruising, swelling, and muscle weakness are painful and completely detract from the desired results.

2. Unnatural Appearance

One of the most significant concerns surrounding Botox is its potential to create an unnatural or frozen appearance. While the goal is to smooth wrinkles, excessive use of Botox can lead to a lack of facial expression and an overly smooth complexion, giving off an artificial and plastic-like look. Instead of enhancing your natural beauty, Botox often results in a visibly altered appearance that is off-putting and even shocking.

3. Long-Term Effects

Despite its temporary nature, the long-term effects of Botox use are still not fully understood. Continuous injections over time can lead to muscle atrophy, where the muscles become weaker and less responsive, potentially exacerbating the appearance of aging in the long run. The need for regular touch-ups to maintain results is a costly and time-consuming commitment, perpetuating a cycle of dependency on—or addiction to—injectables.

4. Emotional Impact

Beyond the physical risks and side effects, Botox injections can also take an emotional toll. The pressure to maintain a flawless appearance can contribute to feelings of insecurity and self-doubt, as well as a distorted perception of beauty standards. The inability to express genuine emotions due to the immobilization of facial muscles can impact interpersonal relationships and communication, leading to a sense of disconnection and alienation.

5. Non-Invasive Alternative: Facial Exercises

Fortunately, there is a non-invasive alternative to Botox that promotes natural aging and rejuvenates the skin from within – facial exercises. By engaging in targeted facial muscle movements and exercises like the ones in the Facercise program, you can strengthen and tone the muscles, improve circulation, and promote collagen production, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion.

Unlike Botox injections, which temporarily mask wrinkles, facial exercises address the underlying causes of aging by stimulating muscle activity and enhancing skin elasticity. Over time, a consistent Facercise practice leads to noticeable improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall appearance, without the need for invasive procedures or synthetic substances.

It’s time to break up with Botox! It offers temporary result—and the potential risks and drawbacks associated with its use outweigh the benefits for many individuals. Facial exercises offer a holistic approach to skincare that emphasizes self-care and helps you achieve a more youthful and radiant complexion.

5 Reasons to Start Dry Brushing Today

dry brushingIf you’re ready to change the way your feel and look, then there is no better time to start a dry brushing body sculpting routine. One of the best ways to achieve a more toned, smooth appearance is with a daily dry brushing regimen. It’s the perfect complement to exercise and the No Lipo Lipo program. It’s safe, natural and effective—so forget the idea of risky surgical procedures like liposuction.

This body sculpting practice takes only a few minutes a day but the results are incredible. Read on to learn about some of the awesome benefits!

1. A Rosy, Youthful Glow

Dry brushing with Sisal louffas exfoliates so that you shed dead skin cells like crazy. It also improves circulation and the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your skin cells. This imparts radiance to the skin, a brighter complexion and a rosy, youthful glow. You can also dry brush your face! It’s a wonderful adjunct to the Facercise program of revolutionary facial exercises. If used regularly, dry brushing exfoliates, tones, tightens and actually lifts the skin of the face and neck. The exfoliation process initiates strong blood supply to the skin, sheds dead skin cells and allows the skin to breathe and function better. Shedding old dead skin cells effectively accelerates the turnover process, making way for new fresh cells. This exfoliation unclogs the pores and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin will actually begin to glow! Exfoliating the skin also allows the skin to better absorb your skincare products.

2. Detox

Dry brushing boosts the lymphatic system, which is responsible for eliminating toxins from your body. This helps you eliminate waste faster and is what contributes to the body sculpting and weight loss effects of this technique. When toxins build up, we gain weight and can develop illnesses.

3. Smoother Skin

The level of exfoliation achieved with dry brushing diminished the dead skin cells that makes skin appear dull and feel rough. It unclogs pores and expedites cell turnover so that your skin is softer and smoother. Your skin will also be less prone to breakouts.

4. Diminished Cellulite

Stimulating circulation and the lymphatic system leads to firmer, smoother skin. This helps diminish the appearance of cottage-cheese like bumps under the skin aka cellulite.

5. Better Health

Dry brushing has been shown to release endorphins, which promotes a better mood. It also stimulates digestion and healthy kidney function. A regular routine will help you be a better, healthier version of yourself!

 

5 Ways Face Exercises Improve Our Appearance 150 150 Facercise

5 Ways Face Exercises Improve Our Appearance

face exercisesCosmetic procedures and injectables may have dominated headlines over the past decade, but an old school regimen is having a reboot: Facercise. This proprietary system of face exercises offers a holistic approach to combat the signs of aging by toning and tightening the synergistic muscles of the face and neck. Facercise offers the perfect natural and non-invasive way to rejuvenate and revitalize the face.

Read on to learn about the benefits of face exercises and how they enhance natural beauty.

1. Toning and Strengthening Facial Muscles

Just as we exercise our bodies to keep them fit and strong, facial exercises target the muscles in our face. By engaging in regular facial exercises, you can tone and strengthen these muscles, resulting in a more sculpted and defined appearance. These exercises work to counteract the effects of gravity, helping to lift and firm sagging skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and restore youthful contours.

2. Improved Blood Circulation and Oxygenation

Face exercises promote increased blood circulation and oxygenation to the skin, ensuring a fresh supply of nutrients and oxygen. This improved blood flow helps nourish the skin cells, giving you a healthy, radiant complexion. Additionally, increased blood circulation can aid in the removal of toxins, reducing puffiness and promoting a natural glow.

3. Face Exercises Enhance Facial Symmetry

Facial asymmetry is a common concern for so many! Facial exercises help address this issue by targeting specific muscles to restore balance and symmetry. Facial exercises strengthen weaker muscles and release tension in overactive ones to contribute to a more harmonious facial appearance.

4. Stress Relief and Relaxation

Our faces bear the weight of our emotions and daily stress. Face exercises not only provide physical benefits but also help reduce stress so you can relax. The intentional movements and deep breathing associated with Facercise helps relax facial muscles, release tension, and promote a sense of serenity. This contributes to an overall feeling of well-being and a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

5. Cost-effective Alternative to Invasive Procedures

In a world where cosmetic procedures are becoming increasingly popular, facial exercises offer a cost-effective and non-invasive alternative. Instead of resorting to surgical facelifts or injections, facial exercises provide a natural approach to combat the signs of aging. Just a few minutes a day of face exercises will help you see noticeable results without breaking the bank or undergoing any invasive procedures.

Face exercises are a time-tested, natural way to rejuvenate and revitalize the face. They offer a holistic approach to maintaining a youthful appearance, with their ability to tone and strengthen facial muscles, improve blood circulation, enhance facial symmetry, and promote relaxation. When you incorporate facial exercises into your daily routine, you’ll unleash a more radiant, youthful, and confident you—without invasive procedures or costly treatments.

The Dangers of Botox and Fillers 500 333 Facercise

The Dangers of Botox and Fillers

dangers of BotoxCosmetic procedures involving Botox and fillers have become increasingly popular for those seeking a youthful appearance without undergoing surgery. While these treatments may smooth wrinkles and freeze your expressions, there are many potential risks and side effects. Read on to learn more about the dangers associated with Botox and fillers and why a natural approach like facial exercises is safer.

1. Temporary and Unnatural Results

Risk of Overuse

Excessive or inappropriate use of Botox and fillers can lead to unnatural facial expressions or features. Overuse easily results in a frozen or “plastic” appearance that telegraphs the use of injectables.

Temporary Nature

Both Botox and fillers provide temporary results. Patients get addicted and undergo repeated treatments to maintain their desired look, exposing them to potential risks each time. We’ve all seen that individual who went too far with the fillers!

2. Adverse Reactions and Allergic Responses

Possible Side Effects

Botox and fillers can cause side effects, including redness, swelling, bruising, or pain at the injection site. In some cases, patients may experience headaches, muscle weakness, or flu-like symptoms after Botox injections.

Allergic Reactions

While rare, some people do experience allergic reactions to fillers. This may lead to itching, redness, or more severe complications.

3. Infection Risk

Injection Site Infections

Any injection carries a risk of infection. Improperly administered injections or unsanitary conditions may lead to bacterial contamination, resulting in localized or systemic infections.

4. Complications with Fillers

Nodule Formation

Filler injections can lead to the formation of nodules or lumps beneath the skin. These nodules may be visible or palpable and can require additional treatment to address.

Migration and Displacement

Fillers may migrate from the injection site over time, leading to uneven distribution and asymmetry.

5. Unregulated Practices and Practitioner Expertise

Lack of Regulation

In some regions, the cosmetic industry is not as tightly regulated as other medical fields. This lack of oversight can lead to unqualified individuals performing injections, increasing the risk of complications.

Put your health and wellness first! A daily regimen of facial exercises will help you achieve your desired aesthetic outcomes while avoiding the dangers of Botox and fillers and the unnatural appearance they create.

6 Tips for Happy Winter Skin 500 333 Facercise

6 Tips for Happy Winter Skin

Even though the holidays are over, winter is still in effect—even for those of us in Southern California. Winter weather can be harsh for our skin, which means we need to step up our skin care programs. Add these winter skin care tips to your regimen to boost the effects of facial exercises and protect your skin from the elements.

1. Tweak Your Exfoliation Routine

Sloughing away dead skin cells is extra important during winter months. Find a gentle but effective exfoliation product like Face Lift to Go  to remove dulling dead skin and help speed up skin cell regeneration. For best results, do Face Lift to Go every week.

2. Dry Brush Daily

Help promote the shedding of dead skin cells from your body by dry brushing every day. It also boosts circulation which makes your skin glow.

3. Cool it Down

As great as a hot bath or shower feels this time of year, hot water wreaks havoc on our skin. It strips the skin of its natural oils, which sets the stage for serious dryness and weakens the dermis’ natural protective barrier. Wash your face and take showers with lukewarm water.

4. Moisturize Your Face and Hands

Low humidity coupled with colder temperatures can draw moisture away from the skin, leaving it dry, tight and extra sensitive. Keep your skin moisturized with rich products like my Ultra Hyaluronic Cream, which attracts moisture.

5. Enhance Body Lotion

The skin on your body is just as susceptible to dryness this time of year. Increase the potency of your lotion by adding a rich emollient oil like vitamin E to it. Your skin will be softer and more supple.

6. Pat it Dry

When you get out of the shower, don’t wipe away the water. Instead, dab at the excess water and lock the moisture in with lotion, oil or moisturizer immediately. You only have about three minutes to take advantage of post-shower hydration.

If you’re ready to look younger this year, start your Facercise practice today. Our remarkable system of facial exercises will change your life!

the wattle
How Facercise Eliminates the Wattle 358 259 Facercise

How Facercise Eliminates the Wattle

facial exercisesMany clients write me in search of facial exercises to eliminate their double chin, aka “the wattle.” It’s a telltale sign of age and one of the hardest things to get rid of. The wattle can also be caused by weight gain—once the extra weight is lost, the area can appear saggy or droopy. A double chin can be a major source of insecurity for those who suffer from this condition.

The Risks

Many people go under the knife or try liposuction to spot treat this area with very disappointing results. Some patients suffer dimpling, asymmetry or only slight improvement after trying these surgical methods. Others try injections—up to 50 in the area per treatment—to diminish the appearance of a wattle. However, there is the risk of infection and it can take months and several treatments to see an improvement in chin fat. Then there is a list of nasty side effects that can occur, such as swelling in the entire region, hardening, numbness and difficulty breathing. Some even suffer from hives when receiving injections in the chin area.

A Safe Solution

The good news is, you don’t need to pour your savings into injectables, laser treatments and invasive surgery to get rid of a double chin. You can reduce its appearance in a matter of weeks with diligent practice of Facercise, our synergistic system of facial exercises. By doing these every day, you will experience significant lifting and tightening of the area. Within weeks, you’ll see marked improvement. After months, you may eliminate the double chin completely.

While one of our facial exercises specifically targets the area, it’s best to perform all of the exercises available on the Ultimate Facercise DVD. This is because the muscles of the face are synergistic, which means they all work together to accomplish the same movements and function. So while your goal may be to eliminate the wattle, your entire face will appear more lifted and toned. With consistent practice, you’ll experience dramatic, long-lasting results and look younger than ever.

6 Ways to Boost Collagen 500 333 Facercise

6 Ways to Boost Collagen

Collagen is everything if you want firm, supple skin. This naturally occurring protein is responsible for smoothing wrinkles and maintaining skin’s elasticity. Unfortunately, once we hit age 20—that’s right, 20—our collagen supplies start breaking down. Skin becomes thinner, more fragile and less resilient.

Fortunately, there are easy ways to boost collagen.

1. Eat a Vitamin C-Rich Diet

Research shows that a vitamin C stimulates collagen production and helps reduce oxidative damage. Eat a diet rich in this antioxidant vitamin to promote smoother, firmer skin. Produce like kiwi, mangoes, citrus, berries, tomatoes, red bell peppers and green leafy vegetables are excellent sources.

2. Facial Exercises

A regular Facercise practice boosts collagen production and improves blood flow. Facial exercises also combats muscle atrophy and helps define contours. There is no better way to get firmer, stronger skin!

3. Facial Massage

Facial massage is great way to stimulate collagen production while reducing stress. Use upward motions when washing or massaging your face.

4. Eat Foods Rich in Sulphur

Sulphur is a trace mineral that aids in collagen formation. Some good sources are beans, garlic, eggs, cabbage and nuts like almonds, walnuts, peanuts and Brazil nuts.

5. Protect Against Sun Damage

The sun’s powerful ultraviolet rays cause photodamage and break down collagen. Wear sun protective block every day, rain or shine. At a minimum, apply it to your face, neck, décolletage and hands. Eat foods that contain the antioxidant lycopene, which helps fight sun damage from the inside out. Tomatoes, watermelon, grapefruit, guava, papaya, cabbage and red bell peppers are awesome sources.

6. Avoid Sugar and Smoke

Two of collagen’s worst enemies are smoking and sugar. Smoking restricts blood flow, which leads to collagen depletion. Sugar attaches to collagen and weighs it down, decreasing flexibility and making it stuff. Eliminate both if you want youthful, glowing skin.

If you’re ready to change your life, try Facercise, our revolutionary system of facial exercises.

5 Beauty & Anti-Aging Resolutions for 2024 500 271 Facercise

5 Beauty & Anti-Aging Resolutions for 2024

face exercisesAre you ready to change your life this year? A great way to start is to commit to looking your best possible, which in turn will make you feel better. When we follow a consistent beauty and antiaging regimen that includes face exercises, we see results! Below are some suggestions that will help you turn back the clock.

1. Get your Zzzs

Sleep is critical for healthy looking skin and maintaining your weight. In addition to those lovely dark circles sleep deprivation causes, research shows that it also accelerates the skin’s aging process, from increasing the appearance of wrinkles to hindering the dermis’ ability to repair UV damage.

2. Dry Brush

This technique boosts circulation and exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal a healthy, youthful glow. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, which helps flush the toxins from our body. For best results, use my Sisal louffas imported from Germany.

3. Facercise Daily

Do your facial exercises twice a day to help lift and firm sagging skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and boost circulation so that your skin glows.

4. Use Retinol

If you have yet to add retinol into your regimen, do it now. It boosts collagen to help speed cell turnover, which helps to smooth the skin and even out discoloration. Try our Luxe Retinol serum for optimum results.

5. Remove Makeup

Sleeping with makeup on causes serious skin chaos, from clogging pores and breaking down collagen to increasing exposure to free radicals, all of which result in premature aging.

6. Give Your Hands the Royal Treatment

Or at least give your hands the same treatment you give your face! Apply hand cream twice a day and wear sunscreen before you step out of the house. Treat them to a hydrating masque once a week and always wear gloves when you wash the dishes.

Ready to change your life in 2024? Try our revolutionary system of face exercises to look and feel your very best!

6 Ways to Recover From the Holidays 500 333 Facercise

6 Ways to Recover From the Holidays

It’s a fact—the average American gains weight over the holidays. Temptation is in full force, making healthy eating tougher than ever. Yet the answer is not skipping meals or fasting after the holidays are over. It’s time to implement some new body sculpting habits and tweak your lifestyle so you can undo the holiday damage.

Here are some simple tips to combat holiday weight gain.

Hit the Grocery Store

Make a list, check it twice and hit the store. Shop for healthy, unprocessed foods and load up on lean protein and veggies. Once you’ve stocked the refrigerator, you have no excuse to eat unhealthy foods and it will be easier than ever to meal prep.

Eliminate Temptation

Get rid of the holiday leftovers, cookies and candies as soon as you can. It’s so easy to reach for something sweet when you experience stress. Remove the temptation and replace it with fruits and veggies.

Avoid the Scale

Jumping on the scale right after holiday indulging can cause more stress than it’s worth. You may be extra bloated so the number on the scale won’t be the best reflection of your actual weight. Instead, eat healthy and exercise for a week—then step on the scale. You’ll have put a dent in some of the damage and won’t upset yourself prematurely.

Dry Brush

Help detox your system and exfoliate dead skin cells by dry brushing daily with one of our Sisal Louffas. It boosts the lymphatic system, which helps flush the toxins from your system. Plus, your skin will glow!

Have Smart Snacks on Hand

Stock up on healthy snacks to keep hunger at bay and stabilize your blood sugar levels. This will help you avoid temptation in the form of holiday leftovers. Opt for low-calorie snacks with protein and fiber to stave off hunger.

Do No Lipo Lipo

No Lipo Lipo helps break up the fat in the connective tissue while boosting the detoxification process. It makes muscles appear more toned and can help you lose inches all over the body when performed daily. Use our No Lipo Lipo DVD to use this system in the comfort of your home.

hyaluronic acid
Ultra Hyaluronic Cream is Magic in a Jar 500 477 Facercise

Ultra Hyaluronic Cream is Magic in a Jar

hyaluronic acidHyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring carbohydrate molecule that helps keep skin, tissue and joints moisturized. It has a tremendous capacity for retaining large volumes of water on the skin and provides cellular structure. Over the past decade, countless dermatologists and researchers have deemed it “the key molecule involved in skin moisture.”

As a result, multitudes of serums and creams have been introduced into the marketplace featuring this essential ingredient. Our Ultra Hyaluronic Cream is one of our best sellers because it contains ingredients that, when combined with hyaluronic acid, have been shown to increase skin moisture by 300%. My clients call it “magic in a jar.”

Read on to discover the magic of this incredible molecule.

Hyaluronic Acid Boosts Collagen

Hyaluronic acid boosts collagen synthesis. Collagen is a protein that is critical for maintaining skin’s elasticity, flexibility and firmness. It gives shape, structure and integrity to the skin, as well as tissue, muscles, bones, tendons and important organs. While it is the most abundant protein in our body, it decreases as we age. When this molecule is added in a form that is easily absorbed into your skin, like our Ultra Hyaluronic Cream, it promotes supple, elastic skin.

Unrivaled Moisture

The hydration that this molecule provides is intense—clients report dewy, glowing skin with improved texture. It delivers lasting moisture and rehydrates the damage done by the sun and other elements, as well as the hormone replacement treatments that can make skin look older and drier. It reduces dryness and flakiness to make skin appear smoother and more youthful.

Hyaluronic Acid Helps Reduce Wrinkles

Wrinkles are caused by the normal aging process as well as damage from the sun and free radicals. Hyaluronic acid provides moisture and increases skin volume, which plumps up wrinkles and reduces their appearance. The moisture and improved elasticity this miracle molecule provides decreases the depth of wrinkles significantly with consistent use. Clients even report a reduction in the bags under their eyes.
