Okay guys, this one is for you.  You have the gray peppered throughout your hair.  You have the wisdom of experience reflecting in your eyes.  You have the knowledge of life that you have learned from many years of trial and error.  You have wrinkles.  Wait a minute. Wrinkles? No, that will not do.

You guys have it made. You don’t have to spend a fortune at a barber getting those gray hairs hidden. You’ve heard of the ‘distinguished’ look? Well, that’s largely in part because of the gray hairs.   A weathered, ruddy complexion is quite sexy to the ladies.  Some of that extra weight you may have accumulated only accentuates your ‘beefiness’ factor; again, quite sexy to the ladies.  We like our men strong. (And a little secret? When you are bigger than us, it makes us feel protected and safe and not so self conscious about the few extra pounds we’ve acquired). Yeah, like I said you have it made.

Wrinkles on the other hand, don’t have any beneficial factors at all.  All they do is make you look old.  Yep, I said it: Old. Not Distinguished.  Old.  Period.  Now why in the world would you want to have such a wonderful looking way about yourself and then have it all blown apart with lines and crevices and floppy skin on your face?

I have a secret for you.  The wrinkles can be only temporary.  And fixing them does not involve a bunch of girly creams and products or going under the knife.  You can get rid of those wrinkles the way a man gets rid of wrinkles.  Exercise.   Facial exercises to be precise.  Five minutes a day, doing five simple exercises to tighten and tone and smooth out those wrinkles.  The Iphone Fivein5 facial exercises will get rid of that one thing that keeps you from carrying the title of Distinguished Gentleman; those blasted wrinkles.  Yep, gone.  That’s what they will be when you drop only $4.95 and get started with the Fivein5 Exercise Program.  Don’t deserve it?  We ladies think you do.

Nearly everyone has a period in their lives that was or currently is a challenge or struggle. Some folks have had much harder times than others. We get through those hard times and challenges. We somehow manage to find the strength within ourselves and get out of bed to face the day. Some of us put on the ‘happy face’, hiding our inner turmoil and worry from others, others deal with problems recreationally, escaping momentarily by doing things we know are bad for us.

No matter how you deal with your challenges and struggles, eventually your face is going to tell the truth. You can put on the façade and fake your way thru every day, but somehow, from the inside, wrinkles and worry lines emerge from beneath the surface.  We know that when we don’t behave in our best manner, doing things we know are bad for us depletes valuable moisture from our skin  and the resulting dehydration will magnify fine lines and circles beneath our eyes.

Hopefully, the stormy times of your life have passed and things are better. Now what do you do about the effects to your facial area? You’ve pulled yourself together in other areas of your life, now it’s time to work on your skin. First step, hydrate. Drink lots and lots of water. Plain water. Replace the moisture lost and flush the toxins from your system. This will give you a clean base to begin the transformational results from utilizing the fivein5 facial exercises. Healthy, hydrated tissue will respond to the simple facial exercises you do for only five minutes of your day. The sallow, wrinkled complexion will rejuvenate as blood flow is increased to reawakened muscles in your facial and neck area. Those reawakened muscles will tighten and tone your skin, erasing the fine lines and crevices created by worry and poor coping choices. Your tired eyes will brighten as the eye brow area is firmed to lift and open.

Another effect of the fivein5 facial exercises is the calming sensation, as you relax for five minutes and focus on the task at hand. Breathing evenly, clearing your mind, and essentially allowing your mind to regroup.

There are so many things in our lives that are out of our control. How we deal with them is not one of those things. You can get through those rough times, and not have to see a reminder every time you look in a mirror. Take time to do the fivein5 exercises, do it for YOU.

Ah, relaxing by the pool, beach or just in the front yard on one of those aluminum lawn chairs with the slats that your butt keeps falling through. Radio? Check. Romance novel? Check. Chilled beverage? (with or without the little umbrella) Check. Sunscreen? (Insert really annoying screeching noise here.)

When we were teenagers, our primary goal when the days got longer and the sun got brighter, was to put much effort into acquiring the ‘perfect tan’. Baby oil, sometimes baby oil with iodine, and accelerators were by our side as we basked in the beautiful rays. That first time out there in the sun often brought out a little more rosey than we preferred, but comfort was easily obtained with the reasoning that now we had a good ‘base’ to build on for the rest of the season.

So build we did. Hours of unprotected exposure to what we now know was not the best idea we ever had. Today our faces are exacting their revenge from the damaging, torturous abuse we imposed on it.

Alligator skin, saggy pruny wrinkles. Oh, if we could only go back and know what we do now. You do have something going for you now that you didn’t have then. You are wiser. Now you know to protect the largest organ of your body. And you can undo some of the damage. The creases and crevices created by the suns damage can be minimized dramatically by utilizing the fivein5 facial exercises. These face toning exercises will build a healthier, smoother facial appearance from the inside out. Increase the blood flow to the areas and build a stronger foundation beneath the surface, to tighten and firm the damage you’ve done. No chemicals or radioactive rays involved. Just five minutes a day to undo years of naïve behavior.

So go ahead and drag out that butt squishing lawn chair. Just remember to use your sunscreen and wear a hat. Turn on the radio and take five minutes to do those exercises before you immerse yourself in the latest romance novel.
