FAQ

The FaceToned® technique differs from FaceYoga and other facial exercises by integrating Pilates principles, focusing on both facial muscles and full-body posture. While FaceYoga targets only the face, FaceToned® combines facial toning with body alignment for holistic benefits. It includes progressive programs with dynamic resistance, improving muscle tone, posture, and overall appearance. FaceToned® also offers personalized programs for concerns like asymmetry and TMJ, making it a more comprehensive, long-lasting approach to facial and body wellness.

As a Club FaceToned^® member, you have access weekly new content and all the programs.

You have a mothly or yearly plan to chose from.

FaceToned^® is for everyone at any age. The Tutorials are well explained to enable you to understand the exercises well before you move to the 7-day challenge week.

It includes 4 Tutorials and 7-day week challenge.

• Each set includes exercises for the following areas: chin and neck, cheeks, eyes and forehead and advanced exercises.
• Throughout the videos, the facial muscles are activated so the client feels them working out.
• Finally, I teach a facial massage at the end of each Tutorial and Workout to oxygenate the tired muscles and to relax them.

You don’t need anything special once you are familiar with the workouts. You just need yourself and access to the web.

You can do it anywhere, any time, at any age. While you are learning the technique I recommend: a mirror so you can see yourself performing the exercises, serum or water to put on face before starting, and oil or lotion to put on your face at the end.

Additional tools are gloves to be used for advanced exercises and a jade stone which can be used for massage.

FaceToned™ Foundation Programme sets the basis for a fit face.

• Time depends on the age of each client and how much time they want to spend.
• Working out your face is like working out your body; each person has a certain goal and the key is to be consistent and regular. These will give you a quicker and longer lasting result.
• While you are learning, I recommend you follow a daily workout routine as you try to learn the techniques and obtaining a habit.
• It takes 6 weeks to achieve noticeable and lasting results and friends and family will start noticing a change after 8 weeks.
• Once you have learned the techniques, I recommend at least a 15-minute workout every other day.

Your facial muscles, like the rest of your body, will lose some amount of tone and volume. However, having already toned your muscles, starting will be easier. Facial muscles have ‘memory’ and it is easier to get fit again.

FaceToned^® is a life skill that everyone should learn early on so it becomes a natural beauty habit. In the same way we have learned in our childhood to introduce into our life other simple routines to care for our teeth, hair etc. we should do facial exercises in our youth.

• In your 30’s – I started in my mid 30’s and I can tell that my face looked slightly fuller after 8 weeks.
• In your 40’s– Your face will improve definition around the cheeks, jaw line and chin.
• In your 50’s – A great age to start as the results are striking (see before and after photos of real existing clients in the Studio Carme). These clients’ faces increase in tone, volume, definition and glow. It is wonderful to see the evolution and improvement in their appearances as the weeks go by.
• Over 60’s – Fantastic time to start, your face will be transformed. It is easier to see the changes and to obtain a natural face-lift.

FaceToned^® works in tandem with a good skin routine and the right nutrition and lifestyle. We should work the muscles to improve the structure of our face, and then we can enhance the results by using other professional expertise like beauticians to improve the look of the skin.

No, it does not. It does quite the opposite.

• There are many reasons why we develop wrinkles, but one key reason is the constant over-folding of the skin from facial expressions. In FaceToned^® classes, I help clients to become aware of their facial expressions and how to tone them down.
• As we age, our skin loses collagen and therefore elasticity. We know that if we keep fit, the skin keeps closer to the muscle and the ageing process is less dramatic.
• FaceToned^® tones and gently increases muscle volume, this will gently stretch the skin to create a more youthful look.
• Also, the self-massage after each workout helps to oxygenate and relax the muscles.
• As you can see in the ‘Before and After’ photos, the skin of existing clients look more structured and more toned.

No, it cannot. Exercising your muscles will tone them, but having the right technique is essential, otherwise results will be minimised. We tend to overuse certain muscles and to never use other ones, that is why we see the signs of ageing. FaceToned^® teaches you to balance the face and to work the right muscles.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

I have had many men come to the studio as they have the same concerns as women do in terms of ageing. In fact, they are aware of the benefits of working out their body so extending it to the face is natural for many men.
