Who can resist the lure of achieving a glowing face, and warding off
the wrinkles without expensive creams or treatments? Natural Beauty
offers two techniques for doing just that. To do so in only 34 minutes
might seem as dubious a premise as the effects promised by countless
anti-ageing cosmetics. But the benefits of self-massage and a workout
for the facial muscles make immediate sense. New York-based massage
therapist Pat Cisarano runs through Swedish massage percussion
techniques, explaining and demonstrating in a simple, clear and
infectious manner. Though the focus is on releasing tension in the
face, the instant energising effect applies to the entire body and
mind. Irene Ankner, also New York-based, specialises in teaching
natural face-lift techniques based on myotonology (the study of muscle
tone). Ankner's lecturing style doesn't work in this format and,
accustomed as we all are to images of youth and beauty, it's
psychologically harder to be convinced in the absence of perfect
models demonstrating the process. However, the simple exercises for
every section of the face, combined with equally simple acupressure on
crucial points of the face will doubtless influence any beauty
routine--even if it's just the way in which you apply those
anti-ageing creams.--Lorna V
From the Back Cover
No lotion or cream can duplicate the kind of glow that come from a
body relaxed and free of stress. These two incredibly simple routines
provide a quick and easy route to achieving that glow, releasing
everyday tension and restoring your own natural beauty.
Self-Massage uses proven Swedish techniques like
"tapping" and "cupping" which you can use on
yourself to release the chronic muscular tension that shows up on your
face. No oils are required, you don't have to remove any clothing.
