Book Description, Modified from Goodreads:
Press Here Face Workouts for Beginners offers age-defying results through a series of easy-to-follow pressure and massage techniques, which can be used as part of your daily skincare regime.

Benefits of facial workouts are more than aesthetics; a daily workout can have remarkable results in the way you feel. You'll be encouraged to focus on the feeling of each movement to identify problem areas or muscle tension in the face which can display deep lines, sagging skin, and an overall tired appearance.

Through the power of touch and focused breathing, these simple routines will help you feel more energized, de-stress, and maintain a toned and firm facial structure without the use of specialized equipment, whether you want to see a transformation immediately or over time.


My Review:
Press Here! Face Workouts for Beginners demonstrated ways to press or stretch muscles in your face and neck to give them a "workout." The main intent seemed to be to prevent wrinkles, get rid of bags under the eyes, etc. However, some of the suggested exercises were to release tension in your face. I really liked those. The exercises are easy to do and only require your fingers (though she does suggest using lotion or oil for some of the movements to make them easier). I would recommend this book to people who want simple exercises to do to tone or de-stress your face.

Each page showed an exercise. There was one or two illustrations showing how to do the exercise along with some text explaining the exercise. These were easy to follow (though there was one exercise that I wasn't sure about). A sidebar also explained the benefits of the exercise, how many times to repeat the exercise, how long to do the exercise, where to do the exercise, and any equipment or tips about doing the exercise. There were several exercise groups: to warm up, when you wake up, general work on the entire face, then exercises that focus on your mouth, cheeks, forehead, or skin, and then some quick exercise sequences for looks or tension.


If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
