This may sound a little strange, but when working with treatments (or sometimes even topicals) that produce results “over time” it’s difficult to assess progress. This little trick has helped me tremendously and hopefully it will help others. It’s best if you have someone around to take a photo to document your baseline, but you can also use a full length mirror to see for yourself (you have to be able to get up close to the mirror).
You will need to do this for each side of your face. Start by bending sideways at the waist as far as you can go trying to get your head parallel to the floor. Keep your facial muscles relaxed (remember, you want to look as bad as possible because this is your baseline from which you will measure improvements). The droop in the skin around your eyes, cheeks and mouth should be very evident – much more so than when you are standing upright. The first time I did this I wanted to cry after seeing how disfigured I looked, but as you build elastin and your skin tightens you should see a noticeable difference. You may find that one side is droopier than the other. If you are young or lucky, you will see very little difference from when you are standing, but I think most people over 30 will see some difference. Repeat this routine maybe monthly to see your progress. |
