Canfacial exercises make cosmetic surgeries redundant? The Ultimate Facercise Programme by founder C. Maggio is claimed to even out wrinkle, rejuvenate eyes, chisel jaw-lines & necks & even plump-up pouts innately – all this noticeable in merely six days by just devoting 8 minutes two times daily.
Maggio, whose original Facercise novel was a global top-seller strongly believes that when one works the face against a resistance – finger-pressure it would be working analogously as weight-lifting could alter body form & skin tone.
People need to be cautioned that in the case of facial exercises less actually is more. When the face is overworked by going overboard with the reps, the reverse occurs – you’ll end up looking bush. The mantra is consistency, patience & sincerity towards sticking to the plan, and one is bound to begin noticing an improvement in just a week.
