FACE EXERCISES I'm sure these exercises would work if you did them every single day, but

who has time for that? I'm going to pick just one and try to remember to practise it every day. Good to try while sitting in your car at traffic lights or while waiting for your computer to start up. You could also make the most of your time spent in line at the bank, supermarket checkout or post office. Just ignore the stares and screams of laughter. Your face is more important to you than worrying about strangers opinions. Print out this page for handy reference.
