Hi Ruth.
It seems you use the argirelene products and also do facial exercises.
I have just started with a argirelene product and wanted to check with you to see if you've found any conflict between the 2 routines. Judy mentioned in a pm that the nerve ending close to the skin are affected rather than the whole muscle as in botox. This makes sense.
Do you just spot treat or do you use the product all over?
I've had good results from exercise too and would love your input on these 2 together.
Anyone else, feel free to comment too. Smile

Thanks.

I can't see any contra-indication of doing both the exercising & using the argirelene. In fact I can only think that they compliment each other.
When I use the ADCE (or Esther's Secret or any product with argirelene) I first dab some on my problem spots & then massage & tap/press it in really well. Then I let that settle & put more product lightly over my whole face.

As a sideline on the facial exercises, while they have worked for me I think I was getting overly confident. At first I did everything in front of a mirror & once I had "mastered" my favourites I just did them anywhere. Well I can see now that I have really been squinting whilst not in front of the mirror & have slid a little down the scale of wrinklessness (new word). I know that I can fix it but you know it's funny the suggestions at the beginning of the tapes? (like watch yourself do them & do the SLOWLY) make alot of sense. Imagine that!

Thanks Ruth.
Yes, it's true about the mirror and that bit about doing them slowly. If I release slowly too, I seem to get more of a feeling of the muscle. Don't always have time to do this though. God with all the things I have to do at night, it's almost a job in itself.
It's good to hear that the facial exercise & the argirelene are working well together. I had instant firmness with the argirelene at first but then I got loss of tone which I think was unrelated to the argirelene. I started smearing SkinBiology's Super Cop all over my face & one of the symptoms of overuse is sagginess. Confused

Wasn't quite sure what was going on but you calmed my fears. Thanks again. Smile
