When I first discovered facial exercises, I ordered one book about facial exercises to try them out. This book of exercises gave me a little toning of the face, but not much else. So, I researched further. I bought another book and then I bought another program and every time, each book or program offered something new and some new result. However, no one program gave me the result I wanted. I was already 52 years old, having just lost about 50 pounds and I needed "help".
To make a long story short, I finally designed my own program. I found that muscle resistance training actually built muscle fiber that created lift and the isometrics and a few other exercises toned the skin and the muscles, further creating lift as in the jowl area. I had now accumulated lots of exercises. So, I started to exercise with around 56 exercises that took me almost 90 minutes to finish. This was way too much time invested for me. I knew I'd never keep it up. I lasted about 2 weeks.
Next, I studied and studied and consulted a medical doctor and a professor of anatomy and physiology. It took awhile…I had to test all of the exercises individually to see how they built the face. I finally found the right combination that addressed all 57 muscles of the face as well as the neck. So many programs neglected the neck. Finally, I was able to put it all together into a 15-minute workout.
Just as I did when designing the CFF facial exercises, I researched everything I could in order to develop a good skin care line that would enhance the beauty of the skin and be compatible with the CFF facial exercises. No matter how great a formula "looked" nothing but the freshest, most natural and organic products stood the test of time. I can now offer skin care products that provide all this and at reasonable prices so I can pass the savings onto my customers as well. Carolyn's Facial Formulas Nourishing Skin Care line ingredients are either "naturally sourced", meaning their starting place is either in part or whole from a natural or organic source and they are not artificially processed; or the ingredients are organic, meaning they are organically certified as well as certified vegan.
I have several university degrees. I love research. Today, ten years later, I own over 70 books and programs - all about facial exercising. This is not to count the many articles I've read and saved, as well. I test all the exercises I offer to the public (through bonus exercises and Newsletters, as well as articles) and I can say with confidence that I have designed a program that I feel is the best of the best in facial and neck exercises. That I was also able to present the entire workout in a 15-minute time period was also very important to me.
Carolyn's Facial Fitness is a complete program that uses every technique and type of exercise I could research, change, improve and redesign, put into a 15-minute program that gives the best looking build on the face and neck. A look of strength, elegance, youth and beauty. As well, my program is easy to learn and easy to use. You also get motivational CDs so you always have my voice to talk you through the entire workout in only 15 minutes. Lying down to do the exercises is also essential for good results. Gravity helps instead of hinders! These are all elements I did not find in any one program but my own, CFF.

Facial Exercises Rejuvenate the Muscles of the Face and Neck
Okay. I admit it. I am a “research junkie”. I know. I know. I’ve been “doing” and teaching facial exercises for well over a decade …. and ….. I’ve found lots of “scientific” evidence for how and why facial exercises work so well besides the obvious results. That is anyone performing a well-rounded facial exercise regime will take 5 to 20 years off their appearance and they will look more natural and rejuvenated than any surgery or procedure can ever give to the face and neck.

Facial Exercises - How Old Do You Look?
My name is Carolyn Cleaves and I’m the owner/founder of a company that teaches facial exercises to look younger. It’s a natural alte ative to invasive surgeries and fillers. Every so often I get the question, “Do facial exercises really work?” So, I decided to try a little experiment. I asked people that I met in the market place … grocery stores and restaurants … people who have seen me for years as well as strangers the question, “How old do you think I am?” The usual response has been, “Oh. I’d guess 39 years old”. Then I will also get, “To be honest with you?

Facial Exercises Prevent And Correct Wrinkles
Recently I have read a few comments by reputable people saying that facial exercises don’t work and that they in fact, make lines worse on the face. Actually, the truth of the matter is just the opposite. Facial exercises can reduce lines [1]. As a wrinkle becomes shallower with facial exercises, it flattens out and looks wider, at first. As the muscle develops, it literally pushes out the wrinkle. But I get ahead of myself. I will explain this phenomenon later on. Maybe some of these people observed this “event” when first encountering facial exercises?

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Carolyn Cleaves
It is man’s privilege – only man’s privilege – to be alone, to stand against the whole world if he feels that he is with truth. If you feel that this is the way that leads to freedom, then accept any kind of responsibility. Then all those responsibilities are not going to be a burden on you. They are all going to make you more mature, more centered, more rooted, more of a beautiful individual.

Other highlights
While it certainly is true that CFFitness facial exercises not only gave me a youthful, elegant and balanced build to my face, they also improved my complexion immensely. However, when I hit my sixties, I thought my skin tone and hyperpigmentation spots were giving away my true age. Not good. So, we formulated this fantastic Carolyn’s Facial Formulas skin care line (http://www.carolynsfacialfitness.com/skin-care) to compliment the facial exercises. Now, not only do I look twenty (YES! 20!!) years younger in candlelight .. I also look this young in full sunlight thanks to these incredible skin care products. The effective radiant skin care schedule(http://www.carolynsfacialfitness.com/uploaded-media/carolyns-facial-formulas-schedule-for-radiant-skin.pdf) makes these products easy to use and since we don’t have to pay advertising costs for our “mostly organic” skin care line, you save oodles of money, here, too.
