About the Face Exercise Guru

My name is Elaine Bartlett, I'm a professional Therapist, and I created Faceworks Face Exercises in 2007. This photo is me at 58 in 2019: a quick selfie - I've never had facial surgery, fillers or Botox.

The Faceworks program took 2 years to research and develop. It is the only face exercise program to be granted official Registered Therapy status. Faceworks has had a client trial, it's been taught to real people in my practice and at events such as Selfridges' Beauty Project. That’s how I know the exercises work, and why I used myself in the videos – if the exercises didn’t work, it would be plain to see.

During my 20 years as a Therapist, I’ve learned being happy about how we look is vital to self esteem. Wanting to age well isn’t vanity: it’s the basic need to feel good about yourself.

The Secret of Aging Well

The true secret of looking great and aging well is UNDER your skin. It’s the condition of the underlying structure of the face that makes faces look tired – and old. Although we tend to say we want to look younger, I think it’s more about looking good for the age you are than turning the clock back. Truthfully, I don’t want to look 20! People tell me they just want look in a mirror without feeling despair.

When I began researching face exercises, I thought the results wouldn’t be as good as cosmetic surgery. I was wrong: the reality is that dramatic changes ARE possible. People often think I've had 'work' done. Three months into an early test period for the exercises in this program, I met up with a friend who I hadn’t seen for about 6 months. She cornered me and hissed: ‘WHAT have you been DOING? You look fantastic!’ It took me a good 5 minutes to convince her I hadn’t had surgery – even my husband had to tell her it was face exercises.

"WHAT have you been doing? You look fantastic!"

Aging Well Boosts Confidence

It’s no exaggeration to say that these exercises have transformed my own confidence and personal happiness. I am not afraid of aging because I know I can continue to look naturally healthy and fabulous in years to come, thanks to the benefits of Faceworks. You can see how I used to look before Faceworks on this link too. Many Faceworks users tell us they get a big confidence boost too: just knowing you can reduce aging now, AND slow aging in the future is wonderful. Your body has the ability to regenerate itself naturally, it’s time to use it!

My Professional 'Face Exercise Guru' Qualifications

Growing to know a much as I do about facial exercise has taken years of training and research. My journey began in the 1990's with my first Naturopathic teacher, where I learned how to optimise my health through cleansing, herbs and nutrition (and healed myself from illness in the process). I became a Professional Therapist in 2000, qualifying in Anatomy and Physiology, Kinesiology and Reiki. Further training in facial procedures led to a really BIG interest in ageing, research into natural ageing prevention and the creation of the Faceworks program. I still use good nutrition, herbs and natural methods to maintain vibrant health.
