Response to Facial Exercises

Hi,
I enjoyed your article against face exercises. I have noticed that I have improved my skin tone by light massage on my face.Let me tell you what I'm doing and see what you think, I drink green tea, distilled water, exercise, take a hair skin and nail vitamin, light message on skin, always wear sun screen and usually wear a hat though rarely get in the sun. I'm in my 30s now but I like to eat raw foods as well.So you think its ok to do light message of the face to get the blood to the tissue. I have heard this actually work at stimulating hair growth, I also take Shin Min DHT blocker, for my hair line which is high in zinc and really has thickened my hair.

Thanks,
Travis


Hi Travis,Thanks for your response!
Sounds to me like you doing a great job of taking care of yourself !!! A few things to remember: Your sunscreen is only stable on your skin for 2 hours after application. So, if you are outside for an extended period of time, remember to reapply! Yes, light massage upward and outward (defying gravity) is great for blood flow. It may help stimulate hair growth and it certainly can't hurt. Hair growth is a toughie and I am happy to hear you have had some success!You haven't mentioned what you are using to cleanse and moisturize. My suggestion is to use something from a spa. Spa quality products are more expensive because they have a higher concentration of active ingredients, are super concentrated, and aren't full of preservatives, fillers, and alcohol like store brand products are. You will use much less, thus using a bottle for much longer, and the cost will equal out. I love Murad or Eminence Organics and Aveda if you are into the organics. I commend you on your excellent skincare regimen! Thanks for your interest in my article!

In Health,
