Who can resist the lure of achieving a glowing face, and warding off the wrinkles without expensive creams or treatments?
Natural Beauty offers two techniques for doing just that. To do so in only 34 minutes might seem as dubious a premise as the effects promised by countless anti-ageing cosmetics. But the benefits of self-massage and a workout for the facial muscles make immediate sense. New York-based massage therapist Pat Cisarano runs through Swedish massage percussion techniques, explaining and demonstrating in a simple, clear and infectious manner. Though the focus is on releasing tension in the face, the instant energising effect applies to the entire body and mind. Irene Ankner, also New York-based, specialises in teaching natural face-lift techniques based on myotonology (the study of muscle tone). Ankner's lecturing style doesn't work in this format and, accustomed as we all are to images of youth and beauty, it's psychologically harder to be convinced in the absence of perfect models demonstrating the process. However, the simple exercises for every section of the face, combined with equally simple acupressure on crucial points of the face will doubtless influence any beauty routine--even if it's just the way in which you apply those anti-ageing creams.--
