Younger Skin
Year ago I saw a video where a woman was demonstrating facial exercises. It was funny because I had seen someone at a stop sign doing the same exercises. So I thought, what the heck? I’ve got nothing to loose!
This is my fifth installment in the methods I’ve discovered to look younger and this had been an amazing process.
Once or twice a week while I’m in my shower (I’d be terrified someone I knew would see me doing the exercises in my car), I spend one minute doing the facial exercises and 30 seconds while towel drying
The first thing I do is place my thumbs on the inside of my mouth by my eye teeth and my index fingers at the base of my nose on each side. While pulling down on the skin, I pull up on my the muscles causing a strain on the muscles. Then I count to ten.
I repeat the process by placing my index fingers on the inside of the lower teeth and the thumb on the outside pointing down toward my jaw. Again I count to ten while pulling my muscles down to resist the upward pull of my fingers.
I repeat each of the two process a total of three times and make sure there is as much resistance as I can create.
My laugh lines are less than most who are 20 years younger than I am. I make sure to repeat the process at least once a week.
So now you have my top 5 secrets to looking younger! Give the processes a try and see what your results are.
Looking Younger
I’ve been talking all month about various methods I’ve tried to keep my face looking younger. Well I also include my hands and my neck as well.
About 15 years ago I met a cosmetologist who invited me to her salon to experience my first facial. I know, that seems ridiculous, but I was truly not into pampering myself, way back then! grin . . .
So she applied creams and various ointment and massaged my face, neck and upper chest skin. It was very pleasant and I could understand indulging in the process on a regular basis, granted enough time was available.
Then she cleansed my skin and exfoliated it with granuals that felt like sand on my face. She explained that it would remove any dry particles of my skin.
The next process she did was shocking, at first. She applied Glycolic Acid all over my face, neck and chest. She explained that it would erode the dry skin away.
About 7 minutes into it, I thought my face was on fire! She made me wait another whole minute! But the results were worth it! My face literally glowed! So I continued to do the Glycolic Peels once a week using the 10% and once a month using the 25%. Be sure not to continue to do it when you are going to be exposed to the sun like when you are going on vacation.
What is amazing is the acne scars from 45 years ago disappeared over the first year.
You can get the Glycolic Acid on ebay.com for $10 to $15.
