Face Fitness is a combination of face exercise, face acupressure, face massage and face relaxation, a natural approach to skin longevity. The skins metabolism regulates cell turnover, which helps with damage repair, protein production (such as collagen) and overall longevity. Even though it is natural and beautiful to age, the rate of our skins metabolism does not have to fully slow down and “age” with us. We can aim to boost our face (and body) metabolism through the practice of exercise, touch; and furthermore, through aesthetic procedures offered by your local dermatologists. Face Fitness is renowned to work with the face and help encourage toning and strengthening of the facial muscles. It can also help with wellbeing techniques via connecting with our body and being present. When our body senses any sort of touch, our reflex receptors tune in and result in increased blood flow and lymph flow. Face Fitness techniques can encourage rejuvenated skin cells, strengthen the facial muscles and leave us with control over our skin longevity.

When I practice the Danielle Collins Face Yoga Expert face fitness, I am working with the hypodermis layers (including the muscles and fatty tissue), the dermis layer (the connective tissue) and the epidermis layer (the skin cells). During the face exercises, we are working with actively engaging the 57 muscles in the face and neck. The superficial fascia (connective tissue under the skin) is responsible for the support and infrastructure of our skin, containing superficial vessels and nerves. Performing face exercises can help lead to stronger facial muscles, which can help tauten and tone our skins appearance. During the face massage, we are working with manual methods that stimulate metabolism and circulation. When we use our hands to massage the face, we are stimulating the muscles and nerve motor points, which both contracts and relaxes the facial muscles. This then results in blood and lymph circulation, muscle tone, and could even help tension release and congestion release. This can help increase collagen and elastin fibres, even the skin tone, provide a natural glow and overall a healthier skin complexion. During the face acupressure, we are working with certain points on the face. This helps increase the energy (chi/qi/prana) flow to the areas of the face, therefore increasing circulation, reducing tension blockage and restoring balance. This helps result in a natural, healthy glow to the skin and can help contribute to a calm, present mind. During the face relaxation, we are simply learning to control and become aware of our face and teach it to relax. This can help prevent and minimize fine lines and wrinkles that are caused by stress-squinting or overworked expressions.

It is recommended to perform Face Fitness, once a day, for six days out of the week. It only takes 10-20 minutes a day. You can practice Face Fitness in a standing, sitting or laying down position, in the morning or in the evening (seriously, you can practice while watching TV, taking a bath, reading a book or even during a brisk morning walk). It is recommended to take ‘before and after’ photos to visually see your progress. Results can vary for everyone. Some may see (and feel) immediate results via less tension in the face and a natural glow to the skin from increased circulation. Furthermore, long-term improvements have been reported to be noticed between 2-4 weeks. After 2-4 months, one may notice diminished fine lines and more toned features. The same way we are consistent with our body work outs for strong/toned body longevity, we must be consistent with our face work outs for the same results. There is no need to over-work our body and face. Performing techniques and exercises all day/every day will not result in “better/faster” results. Furthermore, despite regular practice, if an individual is not seeing any results, it may be worth looking over our lifestyle (stress, sugar/alcohol/caffeine intake, sleep patterns, skincare products etc.). Everything begins from within; please talk to your doctor if you have any questions/concerns or before starting your own Face Fitness journey.

There are NO-known side effects from Face Fitness, nor will it crease or cause wrinkles to the face. At Lucid Skin Club, we train to perform these holistic routines to the face in a controlled movement by following the exact techniques learned via Danielle Collins Face Yoga Expert protocol. With Face Fitness, you are using all three layers of the skin and the muscles in union together. Furthermore, when performing face massage, we are NOT dragging the skin; we are either using a gentle-like touch or pressing ‘down’ to engage all the layers of the skin and muscles. It’s best to practice in front of a mirror, to be aware of the movements and your face, and performing each practice the correct way.

Please consult your doctor before beginning your own Face Fitness journey. Typically, Face Fitness can be resumed between 7-14 days post facials (chemical peel/lasers/microneedling etc.); however, speaking to your aesthetician/doctor is recommended.

I, Tijana (Lucid Skin Club), in the year of 2019, completed my Diploma in Advanced Clinical Skin Care & Cosmetic Technologies at All Body Laser Corp. & completed Face Fitness Training from The Danielle Collins Face Yoga Expert (including completion of face exercise, face massage, face acupressure, face relaxation) further accredited by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists. Furthermore certified with Facial Sculptural Massage/Buccal Massage & Advanced Glymed Plus Chemical Peel. Despite possessing all my credentials, my content is limited to general or personal topics and does not constitute advice or medical advice.

Our signature holistic sculpt and tone facial massage includes a range of customized facial massage and facial acupressure, which helps promote lymphatic drainage, stimulate circulation and release tension. These advanced techniques help target the deep dermal layer where collagen protein lives and can help sculpt, tone and brighten the skins complexion through releasing old stagnant tension. The same way we exercise our body for longevity, we can exercise the face for skin longevity! Facial workouts have been around for centuries and are renowned to help slow down aging, sculpt, tone and help with facial symmetry.

The Lucid Facial is a customized service. Each appointment will begin with an assessment of your skin condition and concerns. Customized products, masques, exfoliation and add-ons will then be tailored to your skin needs. All facials include our holistic sculpt and tone facial massage. Add-ons may include microdermabrasion, LED light therapy, no-down time chemical peels, or ultrasonic technology for intense facial lifting and tightening. The following are just a few examples on what add-on may be included in your customized facial based off your skin needs and concerns: If your main concern is acne, we may include the chemical peel and LED light therapy add-on. We need to kill the bad bacteria and calm the inflammation before we can move forward with any other treatments (such as microneedling for acne scars). If your main concern is stubborn hyperpigmentation/wrinkles and anti-aging, we may include the chemical peel add-on to the Lucid Facial and recommend alternating with microneedling. If your main concern is tightening/lifting and anti-aging, we may include the ultrasonic technology add-on.

When it comes to professional treatments done by your aesthetician and/or dermatologist, incorporating a home care skin regimen can further help benefit your skin. It can help increase the effectiveness of the professional treatment, extend and enhance the results of the professional treatment and prevent post-treatment complications. Professionals like to explain the ’70/30 rule’; your skin is 70% what you do at home and 30% what you get done at a professional setting.

For Chemical Peel Facials, there is none-mild downtime. During a chemical peel facial, one may experience a slight tingle or warm sensation, and the skin may develop mild erythema (redness of the skin). If redness and sensation occurs, it typically subsides within a few minutes. Depending on the intensity of the chemical peel, some may experience redness and tenderness for a couple of hours post treatment. Some may experience tightness and/or flaking. Please only reapply a gentle moisturizer as needed post treatment. Please try not to wash your face post treatment, wait till the next day. You may sleep elevated if needed.

We recommend beginning with at least 6 Lucid Facials, every 2 weeks. Enhanced facial definition can be visible immediately after and can last up to 5-7 days. Results begin to last longer with repeat, regular treatments because of muscle memory! Results may vary.

We recommend introducing facial exercise and facial massage at home to further prolong your Facial results. Whether it’s for 2 minutes a day or 10 minutes a day, practicing Face Fitness daily can help further relax the overworked facial muscles, strengthen the “sleeping” muscles and stimulate lymph and blood circulation. You can find our Face Fitness programs under the Virtual Services!

We inform everyone that with ANY treatment, wherever, (facial, spa facial, resurfacing facial etc.) there is always the unknown; whether it is an allergic reaction or purging of the skin (conditions appearing worse as they get exfoliated through superficial layers of skin), or peeling/flaking/sloughing of the skin etc. That being said, it is out of everyones control on what may happen. At Lucid Skin Club we only use professional-grade products, however there is NEVER a guarantee on how someone’s skin may react to these products (or any products in general). A very brief and general guideline to keep in mind: If you DO NOT have any active skin conditions/concerns (acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, lines/wrinkles etc.) and you’ve never/rarely ever have had any sort of skin reaction, then we recommend at least 2 facials before an event. The first facial to make sure your skin doesn’t react to the products, then the second facial can be 3-7 days before an event. If you DO have any active skin condition/concern (mentioned above), then clients need to understand that a series of treatments (up to a minimum of 6) may be required to see an improvement in the skin. Remember, “skin care is a marathon, not a sprint” !

We recommend at least 6 Chemical Peels, every 2-4 weeks for optimal results. Please note that results may vary and the number of treatments may vary depending on the skin concern.

We recommend at least 4 Microneedling sessions, every 4 weeks for optimal results. Please note that results may vary and the number of treatments may vary depending on the skin concern.

At Lucid Skin Club, we use the FDA/Canada Health approved E-Pen by Salient Medical. Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy. Microneedling is a minimally invasive resurfacing treatment that creates microscopic “punctures” in the skin. This promotes the body’s natural healing process, increasing new collagen-rich tissue! Microneedling can help treat acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and large pores. Before your microneedling treatment, we will numb the skin using a topical anesthetic. After the treatment, you may experience a mild “sun-burn” feeling and appearance. This typically subsides within a couple hours. The days following, your skin may still have a slightly rosy appearance to it and a “sand-paper” touch to it; this is normal, this is your skin healing. Let it be and stay hydrated!

Ultrasound therapy (also known as ultrasonic) is a non-invasive and relaxing procedure that helps promote collagen production. This procedure can help tighten and lift the skin; whether it be general skin elasticity, reducing jowls and drooping eyelids. The technology can help tone facial muscles, increase blood circulation and improve skin care product penetration. This method helps intensify the metabolic processes of the skin, therefore increasing the nutrient and oxygen supply of the skin cells, for rejuvenated skin!

Micro-current technology is a low-level current that mirrors the body’s own natural electrical impulses. This therapy can help with restoring elasticity, increasing muscle tone, stimulating blood and lymph flow, improve the skins barrier and expand metabolism. The gentle waves begin by entering through the skin layers, to the facial muscle, promoting continuous formation of important proteins like collagen and elastin. Furthermore, microcurrent aids in the healing of tissue since the technology works with our body’s own natural processes.
