Exercise Your Face

Forget the Botox, there’s a new weapon in the fight against wrinkles says the Boston Globe: face exercises. Yes, that’s right—$80 buys you five sessions of face-tightening classes and dozens of women in their 50s and 60s have signed up: “You see a lot of older women whose bodies are taut because they exercise, so why not your face? It’s intuitive.’’ It’s not clear whether the strategy works—according to one plastic surgeon, the problem just might be that it does work: “You might get buildup in the lower cheek and along that jaw line that might not be cosmetically pleasing.” Another unpleasant side effect? People might think you’ve lost it

According to the website of Lavinia Borcau, one should call to inquire further about the “From my Neck Up” exercise program.

Apparently, “face yoga” is a legit discipline. That doesn’t mean, however, that you won’t look absolutely crazy giving it a try:
