Welcome to your Week #2 second step of our free Natural Beauty Makeover program.

Week #2 - Natural Face Lift

What is a natural, non-surgical face lift and how does this help your sensitive skin to be more beautiful?

• A natural facelift uses carefully chosen facial exercises to tone and firm the facial muscles.

• Facial exercise increase circulation to your face and skin, which improves the complexion naturally and strengthens and firms the facial muscles.

• Facial exercise begins to show results within a few weeks, and if done regularly can erase wrinkles and sagging skin.

First Let's Review

How is your body feeling since you started drinking more water and eating extra fruits and veggies?

Do you notice any changes to how you feel about yourself?

Natural beauty isn't a quick overnight fix, but rather a process. It's also not easy, because we are creating changes in our daily habits. That's why I've spaced out these lessons to give you some time to put into practice the suggestions.

Tone and Firm Your Whole Body

One of the best ways to look and feel great is to MOVE your body a little every day. Take a walk, ride a bike, swim, or just turn on the radio and dance!

Exercise brings blood and oxygen to your skin, and carries away impurities and toxins. It improves your digestion, and burns calories which helps to keep you at a healthy and attractive weight.

You don't need to do a ton of exercise to see a great benefit. Even 15 minutes a day of exercise can make a huge difference in your appearance, and your health.

We hear it all the time ... "eat right and exercise" but why is it so difficult to do?

Resistance

Then, there is the other part of us would prefer to be comfortable, to stay where we are and to avoid change! This part of us might even get afraid of change, and try to "hold on" even when we know it is time to "let go".

In today's stressful world, many of us are "just getting by". It's difficult to make changes to our daily routine, even if we want to!

That's why we have a support system here through your Natural Beauty Journal so that you don't have to do this by yourself.

I am right here with you, cheering you on so that you can become the best and most naturally beautiful YOU that you can be!

Toning and Firming Your Face

One of the least known natural beauty secrets for lifelong beauty is exercising your face!

You'll be amazed at what this can do for you. Not only does facial exercise improve your skin tone and reduce wrinkles and sagging skin, but it can even reshape your entire facial structure.

Double chins disappear, rings around the neck disappear, and bags under the eyes disappear. Even wrinkles disappear! It's quite amazing, and I'm writing from my own experience here. I've only been doing facial exercise for a few months but already I am seeing the benefits.

It does take a while to see results, and they actually get better over time. You actually begin looking younger the longer you exercise your face!

I've learned that it's important to use a comprehensive facial exercise program so that your face develops a smooth and sculpted look. Some people do spot facial exercises for just a few areas, and their faces end up looking bulky.

Action Step #2 - Exercise Your Face!

Although this is not a comprehensive facial exercise program, it will give you an idea of some of the potential benefits of exercising your face!

Sample Facial Exercises

• Take the three middle fingers of each hand and place them under each eyebrow.
• Keep the palms of your hands open with the heel of each hand resting near your jaw.
• Push your brows up and slightly out towards your temples.
• With the muscles in your forehead push your fingers down.
• Hold for a count of 10
• Release and breathe
• Hold again for a count of 10
• Release and breathe
• Hold one more time for a count of 10

Eye Firmer - firms the area around the eyes

• With one eye at a time, close the eye halfway for one full second.
• Then do the same with the other eye.
• Start with 10 repetitions in each eye, and work up to 40.

Eye Relaxer - helps with deep relaxation, which allows for a more beautiful you!

• Sit at a table where you can rest your elbows on the table.
• Place the palms of your hands over your eyes, and relax the weight of your head into your hands.
• Breathe and relax! This soothes stress in the eyes and the head.

Cheek Firming Exercise

• Put the heel of each hand on your cheek muscles.
• Smile as wide as you possibly can.

• Release and repeat for another 10.

Neck Firmer

• Tilt your Head back, keeping your tongue on the roof of your mouth.

• Go slowly and repeat 5 times.

Have fun with this! One of the other benefits of facial exercise is that your whole face feels more alive and energized.

What did your skin look like after one week of facial exercise? How did you feel?

My Experience With
Facial Exercise Programs

One of the things I looked at carefully were the results of the exercise programs. I look first and foremost at the person who has created the program.

Does the person seem trustworthy? Do they look authentically and naturally beautiful to me?

Well, honestly, some of the people who created facial exercise programs looked a little "plastic" to me. Their faces just didn't look real and so I didn't want to use their programs.

As I continued my research, I found some facial exercises actually caused the wrinkles around my mouth to get worse!

I finally decided that I needed a program that worked the whole face in a more comprehensive way. I looked at several different programs very carefully and finally chose Carolyn’s Facial Fitness program. There were several reasons that her program stood out among all the others.

The first was her results. Carolyn's own before and after pictures are absolutely stunning, and so are those of her clients. See Before and After Pictures Secondly, the program is designed to be done in just 15 minutes a day. That was a big plus for me!

Third, the program seemed to be quite intelligent to me. She did many years of careful research, and purchased many different facial exercise programs to find the ones that worked most effectively for herself and her clients and students. She provides a lot of helpful information on her site and she clearly knows what she is talking about.

Fourth, Carolyn's program is affordable, and much less expensive than most anti-aging wrinkle serums! Another big plus for me.

I've been doing the exercises for a few months now and my husband is really starting to notice. He's made comments now almost every day about how great I look! Visit Carolyn’s Facial Fitness Enjoy, and I'll see you next week!
