This Facial Workout is actually quite amazing! The DVD gives you a great introduction as to what muscles you are working, and has a great computer-generated display that advises which muscles you will be working in each step, and tells what working those muscles will help prevent. It makes a lot of sense and explains what each muscle group causes when the muscle declines as we age. This is not only incredibly informative, but it is also a great stress reliever. If you've ever had a great workout that leaves your body feeling energized, this DVD does the same thing for your face. I was really surprised at how much tension I carry just in my face and around and behind my eyes - this actually helped me dispel a headache I'd been carrying around for nearly 2 days. The DVD works out the muscles in charge of keeping your eyelids from drooping, your forehead muscle to help the forehead stay firm and keep your eyebrows from drooping too. It also works your cheek and jaw muscles to help keep you from getting that "jowly" look. It even works out the eyeball muscles (which is my fave part personally), and the muscles around the lips, which keeps your mouth from drooping and your lips actually looking youthfully fuller, longer. It's very well explained and displayed in the video. It also works your tongue muscle, which seems is responsible for getting that dreaded double or droopy chin. The exercises are odd and kinda funny looking, but if you do them right, you really CAN feel them working. Also, the ladies who display the exercises in the workout video are well chosen, as they make the exercises very easy to follow and display them perfectly and in a very serene setting. This video is not at all obnoxious, the way some videos can be. If you are at all concerned about the effects of gravity and simple aging on your face, investing in this DVD would greatly benefit you. And if you understand the principles of how working out your muscles helps keep you in better shape, then it's easy to understand why working out your facial muscles is important too! If you spend tons o cash on expensive creams, lotions, etc., do yourself a favor and invest in this - it will only cost you $ once instead of repeatedly, but will give back a lifetime of results that no lotions or creams could duplicate. Might even save you major $$ if you're planning getting a surgical procedure at some point in the future. No surgery can replace muscle tone or exercise, even if it can have a similar effect on your looks - kinda like physical therapy. You can have a corrective procedure, but it's not nearly as effective unless you get those muscles back in shape ;). Or, if you've already had some procedures and want to keep that look longer, start doing these exercises to keep your benefits. Your plastic surgeon may not be as appreciative, but your wallet will!Read full review
The DVD is easy to follow. I like that it shows you step by step "how to" and then there is a section to follow along with the complete work out. The table of contents allows you to choose which section to view so if you already know how to do the exercises you can jump to exactly where you want, say you want to work the mouth, you can go right to it with no problem. The only thing I don't like is that the models have to look pretty so they don't show how hard you need to do the exercises because of course, they wouldn't look so good. It was recommended to me from my sister.
I bought this video because I am getting at that age where I am more concerned about wrinkles. I really do enjoy doing this work out. You wouldn't think that you could work out your face, but you can really feel it during and after the work out. (the feeling you get when you've been smiling for a long time!!) I've memorized most of these exercises, so I do them while working around the house, driving in the car, watching TV..... I take care of my skin, but this makes me feel like I am doing that extra thing that will really help me in the long run. I highly recommend it.
Great video and I really think it works!

I'm middle-aged and I could see my facial muscles were drooping. I decided to give this a try and I've found it to be a very thorough exercise tape with excellent descriptions and great visuals of the muscles you're toning under the skin. Pleasant music too. Really fabulous! Better than I even expected.
