Incorporating the time-honored techniques of Chinese face reading to identify what causes facial features to develop as we age, Ellae Elinwood demonstrates that it is simply not a fact of life that a forehead has to wrinkle, a mouth has to sag, and they eyes have to become baggy. Rather these are generally symptoms of emotional distress and lack of facial fitness, which can be treated and corrected through a simple program that combines acupressure and exercise. For example: Vertical lines between the eyebrows indicate confusion and concern. The Desquinter exercise not only smooths lines and slows down the appearance of new ones, it also generates mental clarity and optimism. Drooping mouth corners and pouchy cheeks are signs of stress and loss of confidence. The Light-hearted exercise will life those mouth corners as it lifts your mood, easing worries and increasing a feeling of self-worth. Deep furrows between the nose and cheeks can signal suppressed emotions and the strain of too much responsibility. The Erasing Cares exercise lessens those deep lines while it enhances your ability to communicate and negotiate on your behalf. By following the simple, commonsense Timeless Face program, illustrated with clear photographs and instructions for each exercise, your face will look and feel more fit and more relaxed in just thirty days, and your entire being will be rejuvenated and revitalized. Isn't it time for you to discover the face you were meant to mature with-your own Timeless Face? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - May tone your muscles, but also causes wrinkles!I think this book is terrible. These exericises "might" tighten some muscles of your face, but the way they are done would no doubt cause wrinkling. The descriptions of the exercises are vague such as "position your tongue and jaw". Huh? The pictures are not very good at showing you exactly which muscles you are supposed to be working either. In addition, they look ridiculous and not as though they would work the intended area. The pictures look like an out of work actress who enjoys looking at ... Read More Rating:  - These exercises really work!Timeless Face is an exercise program that goes much deeper than just skin care. The exercises also help emotionally. I suffer from depression and found in the past nine months of regularly doing both the facial and acupressure techniques that I feel better afterwards. I feel less tension in my face. Just as exercise shapes and contours the body, exercise for the face can shape and contour the face. What happens when specific exercises are used for the face? The muscles become stronger ... Read More Rating: - An easy book to use and understand!As an esthetician I have found this book amazingly helpful for my clients. I often reccommend it to those clients worried about losing muscle tone, and unable (or unwilling!) to get a face lift. Do the exercizes...they're fun (!) and you'll get results! Immediately your skin with look healthier (rosier glow, less sallow) and over time you'll notice a difference. Taking pictures of yourself before and after ( after at least a month) will help you truthfully track your progress. Since we look at our face ... Read More Rating: - Really works, and makes your face FEEL better too!This book really works. She explains the exercise by saying which emotion to imitate...i.e. looked surprised, or she might say show skepticism, or prissy, or humorous smile...etc. My face not only looks better (it actually was slightly sore even though I had been doing a different face routine religiously with Judith Olivia's "face aerobics"--I still like that one too, but feel this is more muscles worked in shorter time ) This is a book, which is the only downside for me. If this came out on DVD I would ... Read More Rating: - Very accessibleI value the Maggio book for it's precision but find the exercises confusing and tedious and so don't do them often. This book is more easy going but still fully details which muscles are being worked, offers more than one photo of the exercise and, if you're into it, lists the emotions causing those muscles to need to be rehabilitated. I do wish there was a picture detailing the accupressure point on the pages of instructions accompanying every exercise but a sticky bookmark makes it easy enough ... Read More
