Timeless Face: Thirty Days to a Younger You Through Face Reading, Acupressure, and Toning

I 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 to flip to the graphic when necessary. And, the thought she gives to help explain the movements are excellent. For instance, the Expression given for the Eye Crunch is, "I'm not peeking!" and it really helps one 'get' the movement far better than any other explainations I've read. I've read that stretching the skin is to be avoided but no longer think this is cause for concern unless one is in the habit of wrecklessly distorting the face with one's hands for the mere fun of it. I notice on the instruction sheet for Frownies that one is required to stretch the skin in order to place them and many, many women have sworn by them for decades so it can't be a bad thing to *carefully* move to skin to rehabilitate it.

This is SUCH an easy book to understand, and Ellae Elinwood is as beautiful as you could hope for in an author who writes on this topic. I'm just beginning to show signs of age, and already I am feeling dramatic improvements as a result of using these invaluable principles. Any woman or man who is interested in toning their body, looking better or even looking younger simply MUST buy this book and USE it! Great work, Ellae!

I have alot of face exercise books but this one is different. The others all they said they would replace plastic surgery but they didn't. My skin was pretty thrashed from sun, age etc. and the surgery smoothed out the sags and lines I looked better and am happy I got the surgery but still my face didn't look quite right. The skin was smooth but my youthful muscles were gone. I tried this book and now I have soft and elastic muscle tone where I was sort of skinned before. I also notice I just feel better after I have done the full program and so I am just starting to try on some of the authors ideas about feeling better through the toning.It makes sense and I like the feeling of not being afraid of using my face but instead keeping the muscle tone elastic and healthy so I don't have to be scared of smiling to much and getting more lines. I guess I would say that I have a healthier more youthful face because of this book and I understand now how to have my face retain this over the years. I wish I had started this in my 30's I might have avoided my surgery for a longer time.

I found this book to be a wonderful alterntive to plastic surgery and got a special bonus of a mental "uplift" at the same time...A great way to take years off your face
