Face Workouts for Beginners
W ELCOME
SINCE CHILDHOOD MY PARENTS HAVE INSTILLED IN ME
THE IDEA THAT EVERYONE HAS THE POWER TO HEAL
THEMSELVES WITH NATURAL REMEDIES AND BY TENDING
TO OUR BODIES. THIS IS ALSO TRUE WHEN IT COMES TO
GENERAL WELL-BEING AND PHYSICAL APPEARANCE,
WHICH CAN BENEFIT IN PRACTICAL WAYS FROM
FACIAL EXERCISE.
This self-help process is now a big part of my personal
and professional life, and I am wholeheartedly of the
opinion that quick fixes aren’t the solution. Instead,
I know that regular and consistent beauty routines
embedded into everyday life can pave the way to
optimum results, namely toned, defined, and
well-rested skin.
After more than twenty years as a makeup artist it is this
holistic approach to beauty that I continue to offer to my
clients, from everyday women and men to celebrities.
While I have built my portfolio of work in television,
advertising, fashion, and beauty, I also share my
knowledge with international beauty companies as
a brand consultant, as well as contributing to top
glossy and industry editorials in print and online.

Welcome
My outlook is about enhancing natural beauty at the same
time as concentrating on lifestyle, to strike a balance
between looking and feeling good. Alongside this
philosophy I continue to celebrate each and every face I
work with by actively sharing step-by-step routines. I am
now very happy to be able to share these exercises with
you, and hope that you will benefit in multiple ways from
my effective and efficient skincare advice based on
practice and routine.
This book features a collection of workouts comprised of a
number of facial exercises that will glean the best results if
they are carried out regularly and in the order detailed.
Within each workout different techniques are used—such
as massage and sweeping the skin to pressing and holding
on various points of the face—in order to release tension,
promote blood flow, and disperse fluid: crucial elements
for toning and improving face structure and quality.
It’s beauty that captures your
“
attention; personality which
captures your heart.

Face Workouts for Beginners
The workouts themselves can be performed in any order,
although given the nature of the workout called Warm Up
and Wake Up (see pages 22–35), this one is best performed
first thing in the morning as an awakening routine.
While it is recommended that you complete the exercises
within a workout in the order given, you are not expected
to complete all of the workouts in a single session
(although you are welcome to if you wish). If you want
to target a specific area, simply choose the workout
that correlates. Remember that problem areas will
benefit best from being exercised regularly, with daily
being the ideal scenario.
