PLEASE, I hope someone can help.

I cannot have Botox or face "fillers" or injections right now, I just have too many sensitivities and allergies to all kinds of things.

I'm 53 and these "marionette or puppet lines" just in the past year have gotten a lot worse. I hate the way I look and don't want to socialize like I used to.

I have seen all over the internet photos of exercise systems and exercise devices that "claim" to help this very difficult area.

But has anyone here had success?

I feel I need to build up the muscle in that area because there is quite a bit of "sinking in" in that area.

I'm using topicals, Retin-A, sunscreen, Vit. C, but it's actually looking WORSE. i think Vit. A and Vit. C is TOO drying for my sensitive skin.

Also, I break out from lotions/creams, so I can't use something like Eluage, I've tried.

I can use gels that are oil-free or oil-free serums maybe.

however, I really need to build up those muscles in that area, but can't afford a lot of books and videos, I'm pretty broke during this recession.

I could afford one book or one DVD .

But which exercise really works? How do you build up those muscles where the marionette lines are?

I have that device that I think is called Flacial Flex but haven't used it yet, just got it.

luvsgracy read this thread - I think the price of the book has actually gone down from $10. This will get you on your way

Thank you, I've read that thread a little, and will read it more thoroughly now, thank you!

I will get this book, but I just wanted to hear, I guess, maybe from more people "IF" these exercises or any have really reduced their "marionette lines" a lot, and kept them away.

Does this book tell you exacty which exercise will work for the marionette lines?

Thanks.

Hi Luvsgracy, I started doing the Ageless exercises a little over three months ago. I started after I suddenly noticed a little sag on either side of my mouth sometime in early January.

The ageless exercises are designed to lift the cheeks. As the cheeks lift, the lower face will lift too. Remember though, it takes time. You must stick with it to see results. So far I've noticed the sag has lifted slightly, so I still have a way to go. The massage as outlined in the book, will help a lot too. The skin on my lower face is becoming thicker and firmer. I'm very happy about that.

In addition to the book, you should also buy the DVD that Loulou recently released, especially if you're a visual person. She shows you how to do all the exercises and the massage.

Best of luck,

Patti

Agree with Patti - stick with it and it works.

Thank you everyone! I feel encouraged.

Do you think the Ageless exercises will , however, make my already high cheekbones look higher and plumper, because I would NOT want that. I have too much plumpness over my cheekbones, I put bronzer on them to make them look slimmer.

What i do have, however, is too much fullness below the cheekbones, my cheeks have always been a littl plump, lol.

And, I need the hollowed out area under the cheekbone to look fuller.

I'll post this question also in the "Ageless" exercise thread, thanks!

Hi luvsgracy,

If I were you, I'd run for the hills away from the Facial Flex device!! Yikes ~ I used it and returned it soon thereafter. It was the worst piece of junk and caused my TMJ to be aggravated again. Since then, I purchased Carole Maggio's Facercise book, then her DVD and then met her in person for a one-on-one training. I have been using the Facercise program for 10+ years now. Great results, easy to use program and the nasal labial smoother exercise erases those nasal labial folds almost immediately! Check out my blog at http://aprilevesblog.blogspot.com./ Carole also offers training via skype now. Great stuff! Contact her at www.facercise.com

I highly recommend Ageless If You Dare. It is not expensive and there is a new DVD available in addition to the book.

Luvsgracey somewhere in the Ageless thread Bethany posted some before and after pics of her marionettes. The results will inspire you for sure.
