Results: before & after
Elaine
These are my photos, taken over eight weeks in natural daylight. There were no changes to my skincare routine or extra beauty treatments. The photos were taken from June 2007 onwards, which would make me 46 as I as born in February, 1961
After one month, you can see the eyebrows are lifted and more arched, the lines between the brows are smoother. The eyes are more rounded, more 'awake', there is less skin under the brows and the droop at the outer corners is lifting. The flat area under my eyes is beginning to fill out and the lines under the eyes less obvious. The muscles on my cheeks have lifted up: they sit on the bone rather than under it so my face doesn't look so rectangular and the jawline is a little better. By the second month the shape of my face has altered to how it used to be twenty years ago (though it was always quite round!). My eyes look bigger, brighter and there are no frown furrows that my children said made me look cross all the time. One thing I really hated was the labial folds from nose to mouth, no matter how happy I felt my face said otherwise. Though they are still visible in the second photo, they lifted away during the third month. What you can't tell from the photos is the change in my skin: firmer, smoother and glowing. I probably use more make-up now because I enjoy taking time to put it on, I'd got used to never really looking at my reflection in the morning. Now I look how I feel!
Susan
“My skin is softer and smoother with a more even skin tone. My eyes look more awake and the lines around my mouth and chin are smoother. I think anyone could benefit from the program.”
Susan is in her fifties, her eyes and skin were the first changes she noticed. To begin with her skin looked quite flat and you can see the colour is a little uneven. Her cheeks and jawline took a little longer, but by the sixth week her whole face was lifting. After two months, her daughter asked her if she had been using new skin products. You can see in the ‘after’ photos it looks smoother, more ‘peachy’and filled out. When Susan came for her last Faceworks session, she said she had had some family photos taken and she was delighted how her neck looked in them.
Cate
“I can see changes in the photos and I have better skin tone. I'd like to think that I've caught the ageing/wrinkles before they are too bad!”
Cate is in her thirties and though her face has no obvious ageing, the photos show how the exercises can build up more delicate faces and make them look healthier. The ‘before’ photos look a little tired as you'd expect for a busy mum, especially around the eyes and between the brows. In the ‘after’ photos the eyes are brighter and the little grooves between the brows have filled out. Cate's cheeks are beautifully sculpted which gives her face more definition.
Anna
“I'm really glad I've been introduced to Faceworks as it is reversing the ageing process without surgery. My face looks fresher, it has a healthy glow, the facial muscles are toned, more defined, deep lines are lifting and my eyelids are less droopy.”
Anna is in her thirties, and wanted to use Faceworks to prevent further ageing. The first changes she noted were her eyes looking more awake and brighter skin. You can see on the ‘after’ photos the shadows under her eyes have gone. By the third week her cheeks felt much tighter and the lines around her mouth were less visible. The balance of her face changed over the three months: less weight under her jaw and around her mouth, with plumped lips and a generally happier expression. Her skin was less prone to ‘breakouts’ and felt firm to the touch. Another change was in Anna's confidence and optimism: she had several comments on the ‘new Anna’ from friends wanting to know what she was doing!
