Author and poet Oscar Wilde once said, "An inordinate passion for pleasure is the secret of remaining young." Dr. William Roberts of the Baylor University Medical Center states that roughly 23 million Americans have had plastic surgery, more than in any other country. A youthful look begins with the face, and many Americans can avoid invasive procedures like botox or plastic surgery with a simple series of facial exercises and proper nutrition.
Carole Maggio Facercise
In her book "Facercise," skincare specialist and author Carole Maggio shares 25 years of work perfecting a set of facial exercises designed to lend a more youthful appearance. Maggio has designed exercises that could eliminate the need for plastic surgery and show visible results in less than a week with just 20 minutes of exercise per day. In a personal interview with the author, New York Times columnist Mary Tannan reports that, "Maggio's own face is testimony to her method."
The Yoga Face
Brooklyn native and yoga instructor Annilise Hagen teaches the art of "Yotox" in her book, "The Yoga Face." This anti-aging regimen details yoga exercises for the face that are simple and take only minutes to complete. Hagen developed these exercises on the principle that face muscles are no different from the rest of the muscles in the body. She says, "If you don't exercise the muscles below the neck, they become weak and flabby; the same goes for the muscles of the face." Readers learn to reduce crow's feet and bags under the eyes with exercises like "Legs-Up-the-Wall" and "Downward-Facing Dog," and reduce lines around the mouth with the "Marilyn" and "Surprise Me!" The book also includes a chapter on natural beauty products and supplements.
Ancient Secrets of Facial Rejuvenation
Author Victoria Mogilner shares her natural skin care program built on the simple premise that the face reveals what the body feels. The book outlines a series of spiritual, mental, emotional and physical steps designed to firm and tone facial muscles and skin. Learn acupressure, massage, breathing and facial exercises, aromatherapy and nutrition as well as the traditions and philosophy behind Chinese medicine. Routines for specific problem areas, as well as ways to rid the body of toxins, round out the book.

Facebuilder for Men is a must-read for men looking to build and define facial muscles, tone the eyelids, sculpt a strong jawline, reduce crow's feet and firm sagging jowls. Authors Carole Maggio and Mike Gianelli teach simple exercises that can make a difference in your appearance in just ten minutes per day. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Lawrence Birnbaum says, "The exercises as taught by Ms. Maggio are extremely beneficial...They can help anyone lift sagging facial skin via building up the 57 muscles."
