If you’re living a hectic, busy life like most of us do these days, I’m sure you’ll appreciate getting two benefits with one action.  The older I get, the wiser I get and part of this wisdom has led me to fit multitasking into my day. When it comes to how I look I do this in several ways.

Over the years I’ve read numerous reviews and tried many products to battle aging and promote a healthy, natural looking face. Now whenever I try something new, whether it’s skin care or makeup, I choose products that serve me in at least two ways.

For example, why use a moisturizer, a foundation, and then a sunscreen when you can get one all in one product? I use a tinted facial moisturizer with SPF 30 and kill three birds with one stone every morning.   It saves me precious time not to mention needed cash.

Same goes for my under eye concealer: it has anti-aging peptides in the formula along with pigments in a creamy base so my delicate eye area gets anti-aging treatment all day while it does double duty hiding dark circles.

This trend is everywhere. From shower were gels that have SPF to moisturizing lotions that gradually tan your skin.

When we developed Five in 5 we had these multitasking benefits in mind.   First we researched numerous facial exercises -  testing and selecting the most effective exercise for each part of the face to keep the workout short and powerful.

But did you know that when you exercise your face you not only tone the muscles, you also help improve the skin texture and appearance? This happens because when you work a facial muscle it brings extra blood to that part of the face.  You can see the “blush” that shows the exercises are working.

This is the twofer you get with the Five in 5 exercise system. This additional blood carries nutrients that your skin needs on a daily basis. Because you’re bringing more blood to the surface, you will notice healthier, fresher, prettier looking skin.

So give yourself a double dose of anti-aging, skin freshening exercise daily.  Save, time and money while you turn back the clock.

Recently I read an article that had side by side pictures of twins. One twin wore their age vividly better than the other. As the pictures showed older twins, the differences became more prominent.

Each picture had a brief bio of the lifestyle of each twin. I noticed that one hundred percent of the time, the twin that had regular use of certain medications, especially birth control or hormone related medications, and / or more frequent use of alcohol than their twin, looked considerably older.

Not everyone has a twin to be able to do that thorough of a comparison. What you do have, is the benefit of applying their comparisons to you personally. Do you have puffy saggy skin? Is your complexion blotchy or red? Is your skin paper thin and not quite as radiant as it used to be?

It has been medically proven that hormone related medications will show up in later years on your complexion. Patchy pigment areas, or even blotchy pink areas may appear because of the use of these medications. With the fivein5 facial exercises, you can increase the oxygenation and blood flow to your facial area and diminish the visible effects of medicinal use from way back.

Frequent imbibing of alcoholic beverages also take their toll on our appearance. Dehydration is a direct result of consumption of alcohol and can show with puffiness and shadows on our face. If the area under your eyes remains puffy for an extended period of time, and you reduce the puffiness, you will have saggy pouchy areas left behind. The facial toning exercises of the fivein5 will bring back the taut, tone, hydrated skin you once had.

Five simple exercises, five minutes a day. The fivein5. You can undo the damages of time and uncover the youthful appearance and healthy complexion of your past. Facial muscle toning, increased blood flow, and healthier, happier skin are just a click away. You don’t need a twin to compare results with, you will be able to see them for yourself when you look in the mirror.
