Customer Reviews

Irritating to use
I have now had this book for several months, and after studying it several times, I have tried to use the exercises. I have found the explanation of the exercises irritating and unworkable. The pictures accompanying the book do not show you how to do the exercises and when used, I felt that they were not how they should be done.

I did not find that this book worked for me.

Look at the pictures inside before you buy!
I bought this as a present for someone after seeing good reviews for it, but I thought twice about giving it to them when I looked through it myself.
First of all the text is very small and faint. If I remember right, it's a pale mauve colour which doesn't show up much on the white background.
Then there's the photographs, all in black and white, and I thought they'd be in colour. Most of all, some of the women shown in the photographs are hardly a good advertisement as they looked dreadful, it's supposed to be a book about people looking young and good, but there was one woman in particular, with long dark hair, who looked really old, I'm sure she's probably not as old as around seventy, probably nothing near it, but she looked not far off, her face was not at all attractive and her body looked dumpy and an awful shape, she looked more like something from a horror movie than something to be admired as a good example of looking good through facial exercises. Anyone who's got the book will probably know what I mean, I remember that woman in particular because she looked so awful, almost frightening, like the kind of stereotypical old witch that you'd see in some old black and white horror movie. I'm not saying it to be unkind but it needs to be said, I couldn't believe it when I saw some of the pictures in that book and I felt a bit bad about giving it as a present, and as it is, even though I got thanked very much for it at the time, I notice it's not been mentioned since, and I'm pretty sure that it would have been talked about to me with some enthusiasm from the person I gave it to, but the fact that they haven't mentioned it since speaks volumes to me, and I haven't liked asking them about it but I will at some point when I get around to it, as I'm curious to know what they thought of it, but as the person concerned is quite observant and critical of other people's looks I'm sure that the horrid appearance of so many pictures of that one woman alone would not have gone unnoticed. Also, the author herself, I saw the picture of her at the back of the book, and she's hardly a good advertisement for her own technique either. It said she's fifty nine years old as though she's wonderful for her age and yet I've seen people older than that and they look much better than she does and they don't do any face yoga, so I don't see what is so great about her. Maybe some people just look naturally young without doing anything about it, and people like her have to work at it, but even then she certainly doesn't look young. I think people are clutching at straws but if it gives them hope then go for it but I believe it's mainly down to what you inherit. Good genes go a long way. But as exercise can tone the body people can be forgiven for thinking it can tone the face too, but then one would expect better examples to see than the ones shown in this book. The women in it who looked alright (including those on the cover) were obviously much younger anyway and so probably not so in need of toning as the older ones, and yet the older ones, including the author herself, look old, so how can anyone have any faith in this book? - This is the main thing that came across to me. It was meant to be a book showing how people can look a _lot_ younger than their years through using these techniques, and yet no examples were shown that proved the effectiveness of facial exercises in people of the age group that the book is aimed at.
