Description
The original facial fitness classic that will help you look 15 years younger!
For nearly forty years, Eva Fraser has been practicing her facial workout techniques - and the results are remarkable. Now 89, Eva's youthful looks are testament to the results that can be achieved through easy daily exercises.
The premise behind Eva Fraser's Facial Workout is simple: that the muscles in your face, if left inactive, will become as saggy as those in any other part of your body. In order to tone them up, they need to be exercised.
This is the non-surgical way to achieve a facelift. By following these exercises, you can firm jaw lines, lift eyelids and plump cheeks - leaving your skin with a natural, youthful glow.
This book includes information on why the face ages, how skin works and what can be done about it, as well as the exercise plan that Eva swears by.

Person
Born in England in 1928, Eva Fraser grew up to be keenly interested in sport, and her first job was working as a tennis and squash instructor. She then went to work for one of London's top photographers, soon becoming involved in the more technical side of photographic printing.
She travelled widely, establishing a career in tapestry restoration until a chance meeting in 1978 with Eva Hoffman. Madame Hoffman, then 76 years of age, trained Eva in her facial exercise techniques, which she had devised with a doctor colleague in the 1930s. On her retirement Madame Hoffman encouraged Eva to take over her work.
This method is taught in London in private one-to-one sessions. Through books and videos it is now available to a wider audience. Eva Fraser's Face and Body Programme is also published by Penguin.
