Science has shown interest in this growing trend too. At the beginning of 2018 the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine published the first scientific study that tested the premise of facial exercise improving appearance, with positive results. “Now there is some evidence that facial exercises may improve facial appearance and reduce some visible signs of aging” lead author Dr. Murad Alam, Vice Chair and Professor of Dermatology at the university said, “Individuals now have a low-cost, non-toxic way for looking younger or to augment other cosmetic or anti-ageing treatments they may be seeking”.
That daily facial exercises resulted in reduced age-appearance by three years in middle-age women with plumper upper and lower cheeks as reported by the study. Invasive and expensive treatments can be avoided by dedicating only a few minutes a day to this gymnastic. In addition, it can turn beauty routine into fun, and the younger users canshare it with friends on the social media.
Under the name of Gesturecare, Lipotec™ Active Ingredients proposes a selection of five of their more innovative ingredients that, included in skin care formulations, can complement the facial exercises for even more impressive results.
