Far too often we take things for granted and believe that's the way it is. That's how I felt years ago. I was almost 36, had frown lines and puffiness under my eyes. My face felt tired and heavy and it took me a while to feel really alert in the morning. I realised - I'm just getting older, that's the way it is. Especially when those around me felt the same way and some women already had a plan for what they were going to have "done" in the next few years.

But having something 'done' somehow goes against everything I stand for. I also thought at first that self-confident, strong women don't worry about their own appearance. What nonsense! Every woman should be allowed to have the look she feels comfortable with. Being self-confident is no reason to neglect your own body.

Getting older hurts.

What's more, getting older hurts. You look in the mirror and don't have the feeling that your body is dressing your soul appropriately. My soul didn't feel as old as the face smiling tiredly at me from the mirror. I felt disturbed in my general sense of well-being by this heaviness that was increasingly noticeable in my face. I wanted to know what was actually going on.

Of course, you can’t stop ageing. That would be like trying to bring nature to a standstill. But I’ve identified four causes of ageing that you can tackle easily and quickly. And I’ve been rewarded for it: the vitality of my younger years has returned to my face. My frown lines have disappeared, and puffiness? I’ve never had any. I’m 42 years old now and feel better than I did seven years ago. Despite the signs of ageing on the rest of my body, my face retains a natural firmness, vitality and energy.

Surprise: it's not (just) about the skin

It’s a big mistake to blame our skin alone for our appearance. You can slather whatever you like onto it, but your wrinkles will still be cheerfully waving at you from the mirror. Here are the four causes of facial ageing that your cream is powerless to combat:

• The lymphatic system: When lymph fluid builds up, you look particularly puffy, especially in the mornings. If nothing is done about it, this swelling becomes more pronounced.
• The muscles: The facial muscles give your face its shape. If the muscles slacken, the whole face looks saggy.
• The vessels: When blood vessels lose their elasticity, the skin is no longer supplied with sufficient oxygen and nutrients. It looks sallow.
• Energy: As we get older, our supply of vital energy needs a regular boost.

And that's actually quite easy.

It’ll only cost you 10 minutes a day. 10 minutes to bring about profound changes to your face. I’ve been looking for methods that are genuinely effective, as I don’t have the patience for hour-long massages.

Every woman should know that!

I have learnt that with the Far Eastern Cockroaches and Cupping What incredible things can be achieved. On top of that, Facial yoga for the muscles and the Vietnamese Dien Cham for the energy system. This combination produces rejuvenating effects that have impressed even me.

I’d like to invite you to learn the „Chi instead of Botox“ methods. The course won’t even cost you as much as a Botox injection, but it offers far greater benefits. You can do it at your own pace, from the comfort of your own home.
