How To Naturally Lift & Sculpt Your Face, Define Your Jawline & Age Better Without Injectables

26:43Our tissues hold our issues. And if you're not releasing all of that, then yes, the filler is going to get stuck in the face and then it accumulates more water. And when that happens, it doesn't even matter how well the filler was placed. It doesn't matter if you have the best injector. It will start to look, you'll start to see that pillow face appearance where the filler is just stuck in the face and it can't get out. There's nowhere to go. People are saying that it also with gravity travels down and you get that like jowl. It can. Yeah. If you're getting enough, I would say to go back to your question about the prescription, like here's what I tell my friends, like if you're going to do filler, do it once or twice in your life and then stop and then use facial manipulation.

27:23And you can actually shape some of that filler back into place and just keep your framework nice and strong and sculpted. And, you know, you won't necessarily need, maybe you'll go back in five years and do a little bit here or there, just, you know, a little help, but not to make that your system. Join us in Austin for Dear Media by Day on Saturday, September 26. It's a full day designed to help you reset, refocus, and build a life that feels more like yours. We'll be sitting down with the Bumble founder, Whitney Wolf Hurd, to talk about what comes after success, when to change direction, how to make tough decisions, evolve in public, and build something that lasts.

The Regimen by Caldera Lab is leaving him glowy. And you know why? It has clean, non-toxic ingredients. There's four simple products, so it keeps it simple for him. And it's designed specifically for men's thicker skin. Personally, what I love about Caldera Labs is it makes it simple for any man to get into skincare.

28:40Years ago, before I knew about the benefits of skincare, I was just like any other guy. I had no clue how much better I could look. I had no clue how much younger I could look. And now that I do, I can't go back. Like I said, what I love about Caldera Labs is it's a simple four product solution that makes it easy for any man to jump in and understand skincare. One of the biggest barriers to entry when it comes to skincare for men is we just get overwhelmed because there's too much choice. We don't know where to start. It becomes intimidating and overwhelming. So like I said, this makes it simple, intuitive, and easy.

29:05It's just like brushing your teeth in the morning. The Hydro Layer was named best for anti-aging by Men's Health Magazine, and I could not be more excited as a wife to wake up to a glassy, dewy husband. There is nothing worse than when his skin was looking crusty. This was pre-Caldera Lab. So check Caldera Labs out if you're a man yourself, if you have a man in your life, if you want to get it for a gift, the holidays are coming up. This is a great way for men to get into skincare and start taking care of themselves a little bit better so that they can look maybe a little bit younger. Try Caldera Lab risk-free for 60 days.

Quick break to talk about one of our favorite longtime partners, and that is Just Thrive. You can dial in your sleep, your workouts, your supplements, your morning routines.

31:25I mean, And you've heard us talk about basically all of these things on the show, but here's the thing. None of it sticks if your gut isn't functioning. And that's because your gut is running the show behind the scenes. It's talking to your brain, your immune system, your mood, all of it. So let's focus in on the thing that makes everything else you do actually pay off, and that's your gut health. But here's the problem. The probiotic you're taking is probably dead before it ever reaches your gut because most brands on the market can't survive your stomach acid. And if a probiotic can't arrive in your gut alive, it can't do much good.

31:52You're just wasting your money and you're not getting the benefit that you're hoping for. The Just Thrive probiotic is different, and it's been a non-negotiable in our routine for years. Now, ever since we had the founders of Just Thrive on this show, which they have been on now multiple times, we have not looked back. And that's because they use four spore-based strains that actually survive digestion and arrive 100 % alive in your gut, including one clinically studied strain that produces antioxidants directly into your gut. That means better nutrient absorption, less bloating, stronger immunity, one capsule with real results.

32:19So check Just Thrive out right now. They have a special offer for you. When you start your first 90-day Just Thrive probiotic subscription, you'll get a free 90-day supply of their new digestive bitters. That's a$90 value. This is the foundational gut support that makes everything else you're doing actually pay off. And Just Thrive backs every purchase with their bottom of the barrel 100 % money back guarantee, so you have nothing to lose. If you don't absolutely love the results, you get a full product refund even if the bottle is empty. No questions asked. All you have to do is tap the link in show notes or go to justthrivehealth.com slash skinny and start your gut health journey today.

32:49Let's talk about one of our favorite companies and that's Haya Health. Fall means new backpacks, pumpkin spice, and the dreaded call from the school nurse that you need to come pick up your kid early from school due to sick reasons, due to this reason, due to that reason. This is a total disaster for parents and families. That's exactly why I love Haya and include it in our daily routines as parents. It's quick, it's easy, it pairs great with breakfast or the car ride to school and helps us brace for the onslaught of sick season. There's nothing worse as a parent when your kid gets sick and you feel terrible for them, but you're also getting sick yourself.

33:18And this is why we love high. It gives these kids a fighting chance their bodies need. What we've done in our family is we've made this a part of our routine in the mornings when we're taking our supplements, they're taking theirs. They actually look forward to it. They ask for it. And they're incredible because they've worked alongside pediatricians and nutrition scientists to create a powerful chewable multivitamin that packs a blend of 12 organic fruits and vegetables plus 15 essential vitamins and minerals into every chewable. We're talking things like vitamin D, B12, C, zinc, folate, all of the foundational nutrients that support immune health and the rapid growth kids go through.

33:48And if bedtime battles and restless nights are keeping you and your kids up at night, adding a magnesium-based vitamin might be the key. Haya's Kids Vitamin Essentials is a total game changer. It's not a sleep aid. It's a non-habit-forming chewable with L-theanine, B6, GABA, and chamomile flower extract, plus magnesium and calcium that helps kids relax before bed so they can wake up, rejuvenate it, and refreshed. No synthetic hormones like melatonin, just calm support to help them recharge for everything they've got going on. So check them out. We've worked out a special deal with Haya. Receive 50 % off your first order on any of their products.

34:17to claim this deal, you must go to hyahealth.com slash skinny. This deal is not available on their regular website. Go to H-I-Y-A-H-E-A-L-T-H.com slash skinny and get your kids the full body support they deserve. Again, call me out if you don't agree. You don't want to use filler to fix a structural problem. Exactly. So if I was advising someone on filler, like for me, I like a little bit in my lips. The lips isn't really structural. If I was trying to make a full jaw line out of the filler, I think you can get in trouble with that because it can almost look like there's an overcompensation going on and you're overcompensating for the structure instead of addressing that.

34:56Exactly. Well, I don't have personal, I don't know about this, so I'm going to butcher this, but every time someone comes on and talks about filler and they say that people do it in their eyes, it freaks me the fuck out because it freaks me about the eyes. And also, I feel like it pushes your eye closed. It does. It just scares me. It's very obvious when people have had it in it around there's like a like a pressed up look but to your point earlier if somebody's got those like sunken eye or the hollow eye look there's things you can do structurally to combat that is that is that what you were saying yeah so if you build up the or if you at least support the maxilla bone that beauty bone the mid-face bone that is the bone that supports the under eyes and so if you can uh do certain exercises show us a couple show us you better go on you too okay so place your tongue to the to just the tip of your uh upper lip and now smile but don't don't crease around here so you're creasing a little here it's all about the control don't be asking for me to do these exercises later on the way up on the way up in the elevator i took a hanger with her jacket on and i hung it on my tongue so that was a good one my daughter and my son do this with their myofascia person what that one yeah they do they like learned all these exercises oh really you're doing keep going yeah okay so another one this is one of my favorite ones that i made up and i love it it works so well okay so you push for anyone who's listening you push your your tongue into your bottom lip you cover your top teeth with your uh top lip and then you kind of smile let your cheeks do the smiling for you and then move your tongue side to side.

36:31I probably look like a freak on the camera. Actually, don't watch this part, people. I don't want to see. Okay. And so this will not only the muscles itself, the muscles themselves will build more scaffolding in your face, right? Because when you exercise the muscles, they will respond to exercise, they will become stronger. And the face is a really unique area of the body where the muscles and the skin are directly attached to each other. So where the muscles go, the skin goes to. So you're building that scaffolding in the face. But at the same time, remember, you're telling the bones, you're signaling to the bones to produce more of those bone cells so that it stays nice and strong.

37:04And so when you do that, it can help with the formation of those hollow under eyes to keep them more lifted and supported. But you also want to manipulate the fascia because things are getting stuck. And so a lot of times when you have this line that goes down right here, it's just that connective tissue webbing that is basically stuck to your bones. And so you want to create space within that tissue. When you do that, you'll have more blood flow, you'll have more lymphatic flow moving through. It helps to plump the area. It just helps everything to repair. Right. And so you'll start to see, you know, that that starts to go away.

37:39Your cheeks are going to be more lifted. And these are all subtle things. But that's what you're doing with injections, too. You're going for the subtle look. And so a lot of like pushback I get from people is, you know, oh, this doesn't work or, you know, it's it's like this is silly. This takes time. It takes time. You got to do it every day. I massage my face every day. And that's the thing. You have to turn it into a practice. You have to turn it into a ritual. But I look forward to it. It's like me getting down on the floor right now and doing four push-ups and then getting up and saying, that didn't work out.

38:07I don't have muscles yet. Right, right. Of course. Exactly. I mean, anything. This is with anything. I think the problem is we live in a time and in a society and in a culture now where we prioritize comfort and convenience over everything. We want the easy straw. We want the quick pouch. We want the quick shot. We want the quick workout. We want the thing that's going to give us the 15 minute act. It's hard to find things these days that we're not trying to find a shortcut through. Right. And I think so to your point, if you have a lifetime of something that is maybe trending in the wrong direction from a facial structure perspective, yeah, you're not going to solve that with a few facial exercises in one day.

38:51Right. Your face will adapt to what you do continuously, not to what you do occasionally. So that's why it's so important that you I mean, it's just like working out like you go to the gym and you work out and you're going to eventually start to see those changes in your body. people need to be a little bit more patient with this practice and they need to give they need to give themselves some grace you know it is something that you you know it's not just okay i'm transforming my face like there's a deep inner transformation that happens at the same time when you feel like you are an active participant in your aging process when it feels like you're part of it and you're doing it there's just a you have a little bit more empowerment you just feel more confident and And, you know, to me, confidence is it's not just looking in the mirror and loving what you see.

39:37Yes, that's part of it. But to me, confidence is being able to look in the mirror and see all your flaws and see all your vulnerabilities and see what you're working towards and still decide to choose yourself and still decide to love yourself unconditionally. I mean, that's I mean, that's really what these practices are all about. It's not just the physical transformation. there's something deep within you that's found on the way i have done a lot of the things that you're talking about i i'm working on my posture right now i'm working on um with the mouth taping i'm doing the exercises i'm doing facial manipulation and you're right it's not just about the way you look yeah it's an alignment within self it makes you feel harmonious inside and it's just taking little minutes where you can find them to get something in for yourself it's kind of like a self-care.

40:27For me, I just want to mog Carson. You saying mog is a lot for me. I listened to that episode. I know what you're talking about now. Listen, I'm trying to mog over here. All the other spiritual stuff, whatever. I'm mogging you, Carson. I'm going to be doing these tongue exercises. You'll see me. What about airway expansion? This has been something that we've talked about a lot on the show. I would love to know your opinion on expanding the airway. Well, your tongue posture will do that. It will help. Yes, it will help to widen your palate. So not with a tool. No, I mean, I've never used any of those mouth tools.

41:03I think you can do it all with just your posture and just your tongue exercises. And I've seen it. I haven't measured my own palate, but like I've seen it in my face that things have changed and things have shifted. Like I've seen the same with me with proper tongue posture. I've seen that, too. I can attest to that. Huge. Have you seen a bunch of people that you work with the transformation? Yes. Yes. People always say, I've been doing this now. And again, it takes time. And it's something, the tongue posture is something that you do have to become really conscious about. Like, I, when I first started doing it and practicing it, I was like, I'm going to do this all out.

41:36And I would wake up in the middle of the night and be like, I'm the same way right now. I call it the Mona Lisa smile. I'm feeling a little OCD about it. It's like all day long, I'm correcting my tongue posture. Well, OK, it by the way, it's not just expanding your palate and fixing your jawline. You're also at the same time lifting the double chin. It's changing the whole area because you're engaging the muscle. Right. So it's lifting this muscle. And any time you exercise or stretch a muscle, it stimulates your lymphatic system as well. So you're moving limp at the same time that you're keeping your tongue glued up there.

42:11I have been mewing. Is that what I call it? OK, I've been mewing. I've tried to interview Dr. Mew if you're listening. I've been mewing. His name is Dr. Mew? Yeah. Yeah. Get on board. I never knew that. I knew mewing. I didn't know there was a Dr. Mew. You should be mewing. I'm going to start screaming mewing across the kitchen. I have been mewing for two years and I notice a difference in my facial structure. And by the way, this also includes mouth taping at night because when I use my mouth tape, this is again niche, I don't just like put it on, I kind of do a little tiny pull up to really support the tongue.

42:46And I will wake up in the middle of the night and mew too. I know exactly what you're talking about. Yes, you wake up and you're conscious of it. No one's ever had this conversation with me. I feel validated. Yes, I'm like, I have to stick my tongue up there. I actually started using face tape as well on my face. And it's like an extension of your mouth tape. And so, and that it doesn't just lift the corners here, but it also separates the skin tissue slightly as it lifts up on the face and that allows more blood flow and lymph to move through your skin while you're sleeping and you wake up less puffy.

43:18And also, I think that when you tape your face, and I've been doing this with this thing called zygotape. Yeah. It also is holding up the tongue slightly. Exactly. It promotes. A lot of people, this is maybe niche, you know. No, but you're absolutely onto something. It promotes better tongue posture. It just encourages that extra lift. it because it lifts the cheeks. Right. And so when you lift the cheeks and lift the jaw, your tongue automatically just kind of goes up there. No, but to me, the point of a lot of this is people are doing whether it's injections or procedures or surgeries to try to accomplish a lot of the facial structure that you're talking about.

43:57And what you're potentially saying is that you can get halfway, if not the full way there by doing some of these things that just take longer, but are more natural approaches exactly right so it's like and within that it's not just about the aesthetic it's like proper tongue posture and jaw structure is going to get nasal breathing and it's going to help with your fascia it's going with your nervous system and your posture and all that's like it makes sense to me you want to know something i regret that pulling my wisdom teeth out me too i'm on i think about that all the time wisdom teeth out until you do your own research on Why did they make us do that, by the way?

44:32Why do they make us do that? It's an old dentistry protocol where they pull the wisdom teeth because there's not enough room. Instead of allowing the child's mouth to grow because you're still developing, right? Our bodies are still developing to what? We're like 25. Remember they pulled mine when I was a kid and I regret it so much because now it's like there's less space. There's less structure and support. and so now you know it's like my face is thinner and so I'm happy you know I have the queen size mattress with the king size fetish sheet happening because the structure starts to shrink when you take those teeth out my thing is also it has to do with money why are we removing our wisdom teeth look into that right and also to your point it supports the face why would we take something out that supports the face it's a little like adenoids and tonsils where it's like oh just remove them.

45:22Wait, whoa, whoa. I want to know why. I want to know what's happening in my body that you need them removed. I think before you get anything removed, you should have a hundred questions. Well, what's strange too is like, if you think about, again, like I'll go back to like evolution. Like if they're, they are there for a reason, they come into your face for a reason, right? Like it's strange that not to, you know, not to be super religious, but if you just think about like a God or God, like wouldn't, why would that be in your body if it was meant to be removed? Are you getting woo? I'm not getting woo-woo.

45:54I'm just, but I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it from your perspective. I'm a little, I get scientific with this stuff too. And I'm like, well, if it's not supposed to be there, why is it growing there in the first place? Because I guarantee we didn't evolve with people just ripping their teeth out of their face. And also the cavemen had a great wide palette and a wide smile. And they had amazing jaw lines. There was no receding jaw in cavemen. Yes. Cavemen were chewing. They were spitting. They were using those wisdom teeth to do all kinds of things. I'm just saying as evolution has happened, the jaw has gotten weaker and weaker and weaker.

46:25We need to start asking questions about the why behind that. Exactly. Yeah, I 100 % agree. And about the wisdom teeth, like I totally regret it. But like you don't know when you're a kid, you know, you're just like, I thought I was checking something off my to-do list. I was like, oh, like we're supposed to do this. I know people online have been talking about the wisdom teeth for a while now. What happens is people start doing things and then it becomes normal over a long period of time. I don't know how long we've been taking wisdom teeth out. 30, 40 years, maybe shorter. I don't know, longer.

46:53And because we've been doing it now for a long time, people just assume that it should be done, right? There's a lot of things like that, right? And then if you start to say, like, why the hell are we doing that? People get real touchy about that kind of stuff. Yeah, especially the establishments. Yeah, they get real touchy about it. But again, I just think it's not that strange to wonder about these kind of things. But I think also injections are becoming that too. Sure. No, people are starting to now say, wait, should we be doing that filler for sure? I was going to ask you, like, we, you know, we have, we've gone back and forth on, I personally haven't done Botox in a long time because I got a little bit shaken by just some of the things people are saying.

47:27I don't think you should. Okay. Well, let's talk about it. Because you have, uh, you have sort of deeper set eyes and you have a very strong brow. Uh, if you were to get Botox, um, it could, it can make your brow look a lot heavier for sure. That is one thing. Like I realized that I did not look good with Botox. That was one of my that was one of my first epiphanies. And I was wondering, why do I look so like this doesn't look good on me? It doesn't look good on everybody. Not everybody is a good candidate for it. Some people wear it really well. Some people, they just it just doesn't work. They have deeper set eyes.

47:59They have Asian eyes. They have, you know, heavy brow, whatever it is. And so what will happen is when you relax that muscle with the toxin, it will drop your brow. Ever so slightly, even if it's so, so subtle. A millimeter makes a huge, huge difference. Yeah. And even we had Dr. Terry Dubrow on here and we don't have to talk about me too much, but he was saying, I'm happy to talk about me. Everybody knows that. But he was saying for my face shape, like he doesn't like it either. And he doesn't like even like a procedure for me. Some people would disagree with that, but he was saying it for the same reasons you're saying, like basically my brow.

48:36We don't need a weird procedure for you. We're good. You guys know I'm all about building a strong foundation when it comes to wellness. I'm consistent with strength training, prioritizing sleep, eating high quality protein, and I'm always looking for simple habits that actually move the needle. But here's something that I don't think gets enough attention. Antibodies. They're protective proteins that are part of your body's natural defense system and help fight against germs and toxins. The healthier your daily habits, the more you're helping to support your body's natural defenses. I think it's important to understand how antibodies fit into the bigger picture of your overall health.

49:16And that's exactly what Invivid's Antibodies for Anybody campaign is helping people better understand. It's an easy, approachable resource that helps you learn more about the immune system, which includes antibodies, why they matter, and how healthy lifestyle habits can help support your immune health.

I don't think, I really don't think, first of all, I think men look great with wrinkles. That's just my personal opinion. Well, good, because I have them. But, you know, if we're going to pick on you a little bit, like I said, the scalp and neck release will help to relax the tension that you might be holding in your forehead. But also muscle release, fascia release. Fascia release within those, you know, deep lines will help to smooth them and soften them so that you can still be expressive.

52:50But then when you're at rest, they will be softer. I think you should use my fascia ball. I have that fascia ball. Yes, that would help. Use that. I just bought it. it's um it's i'll put it link this in the show notes it's like a fascia ball that has little spikes on it yeah perfect roll it on your neck and then you should use my red light uh brush massager so why you have a guachaw that has a hairbrush in it so quickly so why you should get that we can move off from me but so why do you not like botox anymore is it just saying for you you don't like so well it this is going to take me down a whole rabbit hole so i use i'm not anti-injection.

53:26I think they're great when they're used as a tool. But I sort of started to realize that I no longer wanted to create the illusion of vitality. I wanted to help women build it instead. Cool. And there were things that I started to notice being in the industry that I just couldn't unsee anymore. I think that when injections and surgery are not used intelligently, that they actually weaken us as humans, physically and spiritually. They weaken us physically because of the structure of the face, right? When your facial structure will continue to weaken the more you ignore it. So if you're not exercising your face, you're not manipulating, you're not doing any sort of touch, then things are going to start to recede.

54:12They're going to start to shrink. You're going to see that king-size fitted sheet happen. But spiritually, I also just think that, and again, this is just like, this is more of a provocative point of view. I'm generalizing here, but it allows you to bypass healing the very thing that put those wrinkles there on the first place, right? That put them there on your face in the first place. And I could not perpetuate people down that path anymore. I saw that people were dependent on me. So it was leading into, you know, dependence culture. I saw that people were getting their confidence from me when they should have been getting it from themselves.

54:51They were outsourcing their care. And really what I saw was that I was fixing and patching faces back up without helping people heal. And that was one of the reasons why I left the hospital. I saw I was doing the same thing as a nurse. I was putting, you know, Band-Aids on people and I wasn't doing what I wanted to do, which was to help people heal and elevate them. And so I started learning about the face. I was still injecting at the time And I started learning about the muscles, the bones, the fascia, the lymph, the skin, the nervous system, how all of that comes together. And I started to just realize that, you know, I couldn't do that anymore.

55:28Like it just didn't sit well with me. And so I started to work on myself. I started using some of these methods that I was learning and figuring out because I had my background as a nurse and a background as an injector and a background as an esthetician touching thousands of faces a day. So I knew how things would respond. and I stopped and my clients started to notice and they started to say like, I noticed that your forehead is moving and it was moving the last time I was here four months ago. Like what's, you know, curious what's going on. And I was like, well, you know, it didn't really look good on me.

56:00You know, it's, it's interrupting the functioning of my face and I'm learning how the lymphatic system can actually get backed up when you inject the forehead. And so I was getting puffy and it just didn't look right on me. So I was sort of educating them on that, but then they wanted to no more. And they were like, how can I do the same thing? Because like, you know, I'm coming in here every four months and like I'm getting these injections and I'm just still like really unhappy. Like I'm happy with your work, but like I'm just not happy. Like I still am seeing things in my face that I'm just like always trying to correct.

56:29So I started teaching them my methods, the, you know, the massage and the on the forehead. You know, we're talking about the forehead here because that's like the main area that people get injected. I was teaching them how to reprogram their expression so that they weren't always forehead talking. And so they were, you know, softening, softening the lines that way. And I said, listen, this is what you're going to do. Instead of coming back in four months, I want you to come back in six months and I want you to do these exercises and I want to see, you know, let's see where you're at. And some people would come back and they would say, you know, wow, that was amazing.

57:01I was able to prolong my Botox appointment and I feel, I feel great, but let's, let's do it again because now I can I only have to do Botox once a year and I feel so much better about that. Like I'm actually doing something myself. And then I had some people come in and say, I'm not even really sure why I'm here. I'm here because you told me to come. But like with these exercises that you taught me and because I feel so much more empowered in, you know, in doing them, I don't even think I want this anymore. It has no more lure on me. Like I'm not I don't I feel like I don't need this. And so that's when I realized that I had something it felt like a full body.

57:38Yes for me when people started saying that, you know They're they're not just saying like I see, you know, the physical transformation They're saying like I feel free. I feel like I have this freedom now And you know, that's kind of when I knew okay I I kind of need to step away from injections and this is how I want to help lift people Like a facelift can lift some someone's face, but like this was lifting people in a completely different way It's so cool. It's so cool how you got involved in this before you go you mentioned introspection earlier I would love to know how you get introspective I hang out in my body a lot I don't I don't I'm not like a real social person I mean I'm social I'm kind of you know I'm kind of a chameleon but like where I like to hang out is inside so I do that a lot I love sound I think sound and frequency just totally grounds me it's a huge part of my practice.

58:33I turn it on every time I'm doing my facial manipulation. What do you what's the playlist? Oh, I have I have a few. You got to message me the playlist. I will. I will. We put it in the show notes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You should make like a beauty shaman playlist. I have. I've you know, I've linked it for people. I hope they're listening to it because it is so amazing. No, it takes you on a journey of your like emotions. It opens your heart. And so more energy can kind of flow through you. So and that to me is really important because when your heart is open and when energy is moving through you, things don't get stuck because things get stuck in your body and in your fascia.

59:12And as we know, that leads to wrinkles and aging. You're doing the to be introspective. You're doing the facial manipulation while listening to the frequency. Yeah. Yeah. It's meditative. Yeah. It's like a movement meditation. Like I'm I'm releasing the tension in the muscles. I'm releasing the fascia, which is, you know, such an that's probably the most important part. And then I'm doing my lymphatic drainage. But I'm also looking in the mirror and I'm like checking in with myself. And when I have those doubts, like the three questions I always ask myself when I'm starting to feel like ugly or feeling like disconnected from myself, you know, I just say, OK, instead of instead of looking in the mirror and saying, like, what is happening to my face?

59:53I like think to myself instead, like, what am I carrying that needs to be released. Or instead of asking myself, how can I stop aging? I start asking myself, how do I want to age? Or instead of asking, how do I preserve my youth? I think to myself, like, who do I want to become? And that changes my vibration in a way that, and I really think that when you go to sleep, that's the start of your day. And so I'm really big on doing nighttime rituals because that's a time to become introspective. And I turn on my sound and I look in the mirror and I touch my face. And even just that touch, our hands are so healing.

1:00:32We're not just doing the physical transformation. It's something energetic that is happening in our bodies when we do that. And when you do that consistently, you start to change in ways that you never knew were possible. And now you're not going to look at me weird when I do my facial exercises and my facial massage every day. You're going to understand. No, I never looked at you weird. Should I teach you guys like a few that you can do together? Yeah. Okay. I don't know. We have to do everything. Well, okay. We could do it together. Well, you could check on him. I do this with my husband all the time.

1:01:05So like the first one, low O and you relax here. So, so right now you're, you're going like this. He's seen this face before. i have i started having flashbacks almost took me to it low oh okay okay bring your mouth down and bring your forehead up so place your hand on your forehead bring your forehead up smooth it so fully on your forehead i can't do that i have makeup flatten your flatten your hand on your forehead lift it up let's stretch i'm not doing it i'm not doing it okay so do you feel that stretch here yeah okay so you feel that stretch there that's that's stimulating all the limp to move and all the puffiness to move out of your face it's releasing some of the type fascia which is creating uh stagnation um and sagging and fibrosis in your tissue fascia in his eyes if you want your eyes to open more you got to stretch your your i don't want my eyes to open more i like them like this okay yeah you can like that that's one and then the one i showed you before
