Smiling is the best facial exercise you can get.

When I went through a sad time, my face drooped. Really! I had to consciously smile like an idiot all day to get my facial tone back.

You've heard the expression...."By the time you reach middle age...you've earned your face". It's true!

I do use facial message to wash my face and apply moisturizers. It just makes me feel better, I don't know that I look more toned, but I think my skin looks healthier. I use a Neutragena battery operated hand held facial scrubber. It polishes the skin nicely.

I don't know if they help or not, but they couldn't hurt, right?

I've often laughed at the Facial Flex Facial Exercise and Toning Kit offered on QVC. The models look a bit silly when they demonstrate it. I am certainly NOT recommending this. I'm sure you can do facial exercises without a kit.

Dotty, the idea behind facial muscle building intrigues me. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Much of the sagging you see as your face ages is in the muscle and fat underneath the skin, as well as gravity pulling the skin itself downwards. Just as folks who are into fitness have more firm, youthful-looking bodies, why not the face? I may look into it. I'd much rather try that than get plastic surgery, which is scary and expensive. Although I'm not ruling it out - ask me in another 5 years or so!

I use this - I think you can get it elsewhere, but I get it from QVC. You can feel it tightening the skin as it dries. If I put on too much it really feels tight. I only use it on my eyelids, but I guess according to the description you can use it on other parts of the face too. Item Number A97395 Principal Secret Advanced Continuous Lift Serum QVC Price $40.00 Shipping and Handling $4.47 Save! Buy two or more and save on S & H. Click here for S & H details. The Advanced Continuous Lift contains vitamins A, C, and E, wheat proteins, marine collagen, and amino acids. These ingredients aid in rejuvenating damaged skin and enhance the overall tone and texture of the skin. The unique complex visibly firms the face, neck, and eye areas. Hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested.

I have been doing yoga about every day of my life for the past 30 years. It was recommended to me by my PT after I healed from a serious back injury. I follow "Richard Hittleman's Yoga 28 Day Exercise Plan." It is available on Amazon (the original, first published in 1969!) For decades, I have recommended this book, or bought it for people. After you get the 3 routines memorized, it only takes about 20 minutes a day.

OP, you reminded me of the time DH and I were in DC and it just happened that the finish line for the marathon was near our hotel. I knew a fellow from work was running so we went to watch him come in. It was an absolutely amazing sight to see the variation in marathon runners. Of course, in the beginning, it was mostly gazelle type bodies with long and powerful strides. But after that, the runners were literally in all shapes and sizes and ages and all forms of attire. Some had such an awkward stride...one guy kicked his feet up so high with every step that I swear he was kicking his own butt. One guy did the whole thing in combat boots. It was really something. More power to you and your running mates.
