NOT YOUR AVERAGE FACIAL
FaceFit is a new kind of facial – but it’s not a facial. Heh? Trust us, we tried it. Where regular facials focus on the skin, FaceFit also focuses on the muscles. After all, the face and neck have over 50 muscles. So while the idea is certainly novel, there is some sensible logic behind it. You know your body looks better when your muscles are toned, so why shouldn’t that apply to the face as well? The FaceFit workouts (what the facials are called) are tailored to your needs and can range from 15 minutes to 45 minutes. The one we tried was half an hour and involved laser treatment that made the muscles jump and relax, and even had the therapist putting her gloved hand inside the cheeks to massage jaw muscles from the inside. It sounds horrid, but was really rather wonderful. Did it make a difference? Yes, and they generally cost less than a regular facial! Book your appointment at a Laser Beautique near you (thelaserbeautique.co.za) before that Christmas party with all the extended family you haven’t seen all year, and wait for the compliments to roll in.
