Look Younger without Plastic Surgery!
I, for one, am not a proponent of plastic surgery – but I definitely have nothing against those who have gone under the knife in order to improve their appearance. What I am looking for is a myriad of ways to look younger without plastic surgery.
Fortunately, there is a way to look younger, give your self-confidence a boost and make you feel as if you’ve spent a couple of weeks on an ultra-relaxing tropical vacation. MSN Health gives us a hint on the things that we can do to look younger, minus the “Ouch!” associated with going under the knife:

Facial Fitness Exercises: A Great Substitute for Anti – Ageing Products
I had a great laugh when I read an article online about this lady who had too many plastic surgeries that she had a ‘permanently surprised’ look on her face when she turned 62. I would not want to have that look when I reach my 50’s or 60’s – that is why I slather my face and neck with moisturizer and use a lot of anti-ageing products.
However, there is an alternative way for you to look young and defy gravity: by doing facial exercises. You may look and feel funny while exercising your facial muscles, but they do the job in toning your facial muscles.
Here is one example: To prevent the lines on your forehead from showing, put your index fingers on the area above your eyes. Use a pulling motion with your hands while trying to raise your eyebrows. Repeat this 5 to 10 times.
There are other exercises that you can do to tone the muscles on your eyes, lips, cheeks and neck. Just like the muscles in your body, once your facial muscles are toned, they will be firm and wrinkles, sagging and deep or fine lines will be a thing of the past.

Anti-Aging Experiment: StriVectin-SD
StriVectin-SD. I am sure you have seen the commercials, the ads, and possibly even the knock-offs. It is everywhere. The "better than botox" cream.
We could not wait to use Stri-Vectin in our experiment. Here is who gave it a try: Teri – 30 something, Laurie – 40 something, Brandie – 50 something, and Rose – 60 something.
From the StriVectin website, a description of how StriVectin-SD works:
"StriVectin-SD includes a proprietary complex of skin firming agents, elasticizers, and skin hydrators… adding up to the most comprehensive topical formulation shown to effectively confront virtually every aspect of visible stretch mark reduction.
A groundbreaking series of studies has demonstrated, without a doubt, the amazing effectiveness of StriVectin-SD’s® functional isolates. After reviewing and verifying the clinical data, an incredible 93% of subjects saw a signifigant, visible reduction in the appearance of stretch marks. The unequivocal, verified results speak for themselves. But there’s more. Clinical observations further document the ability of StriVectin-SD’s independent isolates to dramatically improve the appearance of: Indented surfaces, Smooth surfaces, Skin firmness, Irregularities in skin discoloration."
Our thoughts while using:
-
The cream is heavy, a little goes a long way
-
The aromatic oils, mostly of peppermint, are very strong. Use caution around the eyes, nose, and lips.
-
No other moisturizer is needed when using this
-
Apply it sparingly twice a day
-
Use it wherever you want results.
