Do-it-Yourself "Spa" Facial: Power to the People!

In today's difficult economy, visits to the spa have been relegated to a lower priority.  Not only do they cost a lot of money, but it takes a lot of time out of one's day to drive, park, sign in, sit in the waiting room, then finally have your esthetician begin an hour of facial muscle toning.  All this, and it only lasts about a week.  (Much like weight lifting will do in toning your body muscles). 

So, with an eye to practicality, modern customers are turning their faces towards home.  By doing-it-themselves, they save time, and will save face.  By owning their own FaceMaster, they will spend less than the cost of one spa treatment to OWN their own machine.  Talk about a great bargain!

Skin care does not just involve the surface, any more than fresh shingles can fix an old, sagging roof.  We need to address the full picture, including the infrastructure.  The 22 muscles underneath each side of the face are mostly attached to the bone beneath, then fixed to the skin.  Like every muscle we have, they plump up with exercise, and shrivel or atrophy with disuse.  Unfortunately one cannot find an exercise station for "face" at the gym.  That's why spas have performed millions of facial muscle toning treatments over the past four decades.

But for all the difficulties in exercising sagging muscles in the face, these muscles have one advantage over the bigger muscles of the body; they are conveniently placed close to the surface.  This means that they lend themselves to stimulation with micro-current from the surface of the skin.  No matter what anti-aging techiques one does, the face still needs active attention.  Toned muscles give youthful looks, and toned facial muscles rejuvenate one's appearance. 

After the muscles are toned the face looks like it had a makeover, the skin tightens, the facial lines diminish,  and your friends will notice your great appearance...all without surgery

So don't dispair the next time you look in the mirror.  Take control of your body's muscles by exercising in the gym, through yoga or pilates, or through your favorite sports.  And take control of your face's muscles by buying your own FaceMaster®.  With a toned face as a basis, all your other anti-aging efforts will work better: diet, hydration, exercise, mental activity, and time management.
