Faceworks: in detail
Faceworks uses exercises designed specifically for the face to work both superficial and deep muscles.
- Lift, tone & revitalise naturally
- 20 minutes a day, anytime, anywhere
- No gadgets, chemicals or surgery
- Designed by Elaine Bartlett, natural health therapist and Reiki Master.
Since face-working is a natural procedure it takes time for results to appear, but usually after two weeks there are definite changes. The eyes are more sparkling, skin begins to bloom, and the expression is happier as contours start to lift.
The first three months is where the biggest changes are made: an intensive 5 times a week workout rebuilds the muscles, dramatically improving their tone and lifting them to a more youthful position. At the end of this time the number of weekly workouts drops to 3: a total time of only one hour a week. You may still notice changes at this level: continual lifting of jowls and cheek muscles for example. And if you need a boost for a special occasion, you can just increase the workouts, or do more of the exercises for your own ‘problem’ areas.
What have you been doing? You look fantastic!
One of the benefits of Faceworks is that once the system is learned it can be fitted into your life: one 20 minute session, two 10 minute ones: it adapts to however you want to use it. Providing you can concentrate 90% on the exercises, you can do Faceworks while watching television, cooking, or any small part of your day when you have a spare five minutes.

Lift naturally, no chemicals, ‘gadgets’ or surgery. Use your body’s own ability to regenerate and renew...
Muscles behave in the same way to exercise wherever they are on the body: if they are worked, their tone and shape improve. And as they tone, they tighten and lift. The result is a more sculpted, brighter and younger looking face. Eyes become less hooded and more open, eyebrows lift, cheek muscles sit higher on the cheekbones, jowls disappear, double chins and ’turkey’ necks improve and the skin becomes smoother and rosier.
Tone the face and neck muscles effectively, reduce and slow the signs of ageing...
Young skin has a protective layer of fat and an abundance of elastic connective fibres. As both decline with age the skin loosens, forming lines and wrinkles. Normal expressions and facial movements don’t work the muscles enough to prevent them stretching and drooping, which changes the shape of the face. Faceworks uses small, precise movements to work specific muscles harder than usual. The exercises build up muscles to compensate for the loss of elasticity and fatty layer, making lines and wrinkles less obvious as the skin smoothes out.
Restore self-confidence and feel happier about your appearance.
If you ever catch your reflection before you ‘arrange’ your expression you’ll see yourself as others do. That’s why what you consider an awful photograph is seen as OK by your nearest and dearest. They may love you as you are but the loss of your own beauty and youth is never easy.
Faceworks won’t change your features the way cosmetic surgery can: the difference in overall appearance is much more gentle. People will begin to notice that you look better but they might not be able to put their finger on why. And freeing yourself from the worry about ‘looking old’ can give a fantastic boost to your self-esteem.
Revitalise your skin for a brighter complexion and renewed beauty.
One of the very welcome but unexpected effects of Faceworks during its development was the changes in the skin. In trials, improvement in skin tone was one of the first changes noted. As the exercises increase circulation, the skin is supplied with more nutrients from the blood and the removal of waste products is faster. The skin becomes rosier, softer and smoother. Eye puffiness and dark shadows diminish so that the tiredness that imprints on our faces as we age fades away.
