I recall ages ago reading in my ageless if you dare manual about the lady who looked years younger than her age, and advocated being rather rough with your skin in order to thicken it - I believe pulling it etc.
Do you do that or do you treat your skin with kid gloves? I am trying to find advice online about how to toughen skin without risking wrinkles or whatever but I can't find any info. I have incorporated pinching and suction into my nightly routine.
My suctioning feels quite strong - not sure if it's a good idea or not. |

Well for me I’m 70 years young plus and I was fooled into thinking for years that you had to be soft and gentle with facial skin. I started facial exercises in my 50s (after rapid weight loss and excess sagging) and I was hesitant at first to be aggressive. But I have to share that early on I saw dramatic results from being aggressive. For me, when I think back, I was always advised by cosmetic counter assistants to be gentle with my eye area, and they were religious in that advice and I followed it for years, so when it first was advised to me to be rough – it was darn right plain scary but I was pleasantly surprised. Now I have done aggressive exercises for the past 20 years without fail and I am more rougher nowadays than when I first started out and I am not yet carrying round my face in a bag. You think by now I should be if that old advice was anything to go by.
Plus Tom Haggerty one time was on his forum discussing the advice given in stores and he rightly pointed out to look at the people in stores giving you this advice. At the time I did laugh but then I started really noticing those who gave that advice didn’t actually have that great eye skin to write home about. |

Well, theoretically i understand that “rough" should work. But each time, after another Tonya Zavasta’s newsletter, i try to apply her recommendations on myself, i usually end up with some kind of inflammation on my face. It’s like my face allows me to do things, but not every day.
My point is - it is probably very individual. You should experiment on your skin to find out. |

| YB it might be worthwhile emailing Tonya and getting her direct advice in relation to this. I know some of the pros seem to suggest that there can be initial adverse results like puffiness and inflamation but I understood that this is a temporary reaction - although I was somewhat skeptical of the theories that were suggested as they didn't sound that scientific to me and I think thats important. |

| I'm gentle with my hand but use effective products - Retin-A, Glycolic Acid, etc. |

| I think it should be useful, just like washing your face with cold water, to stimulate the skin and make it younger. |

Hey there,
FlexEffect promotes strong handling of face and neck skin and I’ve followed that advice from 2002 with what I feel is great success. You may need to start slow, also your overall health impacts skin resiliency. After I stopped being gentle with eye and neck skin, I saw great improvement!! I believe that it is just another fallacy that we should be gentle with skin.
