FaceGym touts itself as a workout for your face, rather than a facial. Just as you would flex, stretch and tone the muscles in the rest of your body, and incorporate a warm up, cardio and cool down into your gym sesh, FaceGym is all about applying a similar ethos to your face.
What are the benefits of FaceGym and facial massage?
‘The practice of facial exercise has a long history but it’s often news to people that over 40 muscles make up the scaffolding of the face,’ says Theron, ‘and just like the muscles in the body, the more you move them, the more lifted, tightened and toned they become.’
When should you start incorporating facial massage into your skincare regime?
Theron recommends introducing facial exercise and at home massage into your skincare routine from your twenties. ‘The earlier you develop good skincare habits the better you will look in later life,’ points out Theron. ‘As you get older we recommend doing more of the exercise “resistance training” to get your facial muscles working and strengthening. I would also say start using tools like our FaceGym pro, £510, as well as more potent skincare for the massage.’
How often should you give yourself a facial massage?
You can do it any time of day, but it makes sense to add it into your morning or evening routine for convenience. ‘The bottom line is you need to do it daily – if not at least 4 times a week, so find a time that works for you, carve out 10-15 min in your day, and make it a daily ritual,’ advises Theron.
