Be Healthy: Facercise, Reverse Aging Without Surgery

In recent years, widespread reports have revealed botched results and horrible side effects from liposuction, face-lifts and other cosmetic procedures, as well as from using "injectables" or "fillers" such as Botox, Restylane and Perlane. As more of these plastic surgery horror stories emerge, it seems like the perfect time to explore alternative, natural and risk-free anti-aging methods.

Thanks to Facercise creator Carole Maggio, we've got some great options -- and they are noninvasive, completely natural and require no anesthesia.

The lovely Carole is offering an amazing giveaway to one lucky Savvy reader: a one-on-one Facercise session via Skype, worth $600! To enter to win this killer gift, just sign up for our newsletter to learn how to enter to win. (Existing subscribers, you'll automatically receive the details.)

All fifty-seven muscles of the face and neck are targeted in Facercise, Carole's proprietary system of facial exercises. The "workout" takes just ten minutes a day, and is the perfect way for both men and women to take years off their looks, while avoiding painful, costly procedures that often yield artificial appearances.

By incorporating a few simple exercises into your daily routine, you can tone and tighten facial muscles to avoid atrophy, and other typical signs of aging. "It's just like working out to stay in shape," Maggio said. "If you exercise your body, you will keep it looking youthful and you won't need to invest in liposuction or other risky surgeries. It's exactly the same with your face."

Maggio developed the program in the early 1980s after her former husband commented that she was aging prematurely (note former). "I am not sure how accurate he was," Carole said, "but I spent years living in Arizona, baking in the sun, so it was inevitable that I would experience some damage." A licensed esthetician, Carole threw herself into creating a method to target her problem areas. She analyzed her face structure and started doing movements to tone and lift the muscles. After a few weeks, friends and clients were asking who performed her facelift. The seed was planted, and Facercise was born.

Carole started working with clients to develop this innovative regime, and before long, she was traveling across the world to work with everyone from rock stars and royalty, to CEOs and stay-at-home moms. Her methods have been successful with women worldwide ever since.

Facercise is designed to provide positive results in a matter of days. Specific changes include lifted eyebrows, diminished under-eye puffiness, enlarged eye sockets (which make the eyes appear more open and vibrant), fuller lips with turned up, younger looking corners of the mouth, as well as a more toned and defined chin, neck and jaw line. Our noses grow larger as we age -- Facercise helps make the nose shorter and narrower.

In addition, the workout makes skin look more vibrant. People with serious health conditions have also benefited from Facercise; Carole said she has received thousands of testimonials citing how her techniques cure everything from broken noses to Bell's palsy, a condition that occurs when the nerve that controls the facial muscles becomes swollen or compressed.

Carole developed the Facercise book and beginning and advanced DVD systems (www.Facercise.com). The DVD systems include two CDs: the At Home Lying Down/Sitting up CD and the Auto CD, which modifies the program for use while driving. Each takes only ten minutes to complete, and is a perfect way to save those dollars you were thinking about investing into a risky surgery -- the Beginning DVD set is under $50 and the Advanced is $20.

From her day spa in Redondo Beach, Carole offers one-on-one Facercise sessions in person, as well as via Skype. She also performs a trademark body sculpting technique called No Lipo Lipo, a noninvasive, massage-like treatment that causes clients to lose fifteen inches, on average, during the five-week program (click here to read more).
