Appearing on a television show seems like a good idea; however, these Bravo TV stars did not believe my firm forehead was a result of facial exercise. That's what happens in Hollywood...the stars are "brainwashed" into believing that paralyzing and plumping injections are the only avenue to keep one looking younger. They are not...in fact, facial exercise  is the best bet for a youthful face because there will be no surprises and nothing invasive to harm your body.

Jackie Silver, Aging Backwards guru, invited me to attend the NYC Tone Body Wash event with her at Lexicon on E. 54th St. last week. There we were introduced to the new Fruit Peel Alpha-Hydroxy body wash but the best surprise was that a small venue of beauty bloggers and magazine assistants enjoyed the music of Kellie Pickler  in a private, intimate setting. Newly married Kellie sang several songs to us and then the attendees had the opportunity to have photos taken while getting to know this upcoming super star a little more personally. I loved her vocal presentation and I especially enjoyed her sweet, down-home nature.

What turns back the clock reliably? What slows the development and appearance of wrinkles? Why, facial exercise, of course! Just like exercise works to ensure a more youthful body appearance, facial exercise concentrates its efforts to lift, tighten and tone muscles that have been losing their vitality due to atrophy. When facial muscles droop, you see sagging eyelids, spongy cheeks and a flabby neck. When you use specialized exercises that create isometric contractions, tired, sagging features begin to perk up when these exercises are used regularly. "Smart women and men do not believe that cutting perfectly healthy muscles and skin or injecting certain areas of the face with plumping or paralyzing toxins, will help them look younger," begins Cynthia Rowland, President of Rejenuve, Inc., "most people want to avoid procedures that might endanger their lives and their appearance." Exercise is natural, it's easy to learn and best of all, it works. Look like you only better!

Women over 50 are feeling pressure to remain youthful looking.

Online beauty retailers have noted a rise in female shoppers over the age of 50 in the past 12 months — with continually youthful-looking stars such as Madonna and Cher cited as an influencing factor.

A new report by British newspaper The Daily Mail shows how women between the ages of 50 and 80 are spending increasing amounts on cosmetic products via the internet.

One retailer to have remarked on the trend is Escentual.com, a site selling products ranging from skincare to makeup and haircare from brands including Clarins and Dior with worldwide delivery.

"Sales among adults aged 50 to 80 grew more than 210 percent on the site Escentual.com," reports the publication – revealing that in the past year customers spent an annual average of $395 compared to the $215 purchased by younger consumers.

"A lot of our customers are looking for anti-ageing products that slow the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines and many are looking for products that turn back the clock on other specific parts of the body but without the need for any surgical procedures," explained Louise Reed, a spokesperson from Escentual.com, adding that pressure on women to remain youthful looking has increased due to "more and more youthful images of older celebrities."

Another website to have noticed the phenomenon is international online beauty destination Feelunique.com, which stocks over 17,500 health and beauty products from brands including L'Oréal Paris, Benefit and Lancôme.

"These women certainly know what works. They are an intelligent group of consumers that have invested their time and money in the beauty industry," said Feelunique.com's editorial director Newby Hands.

"It's not surprising that a quarter of our skincare sales are to the over 50s, and hair sales follow closely behind."

The report comes only a couple of months after the valuation firm Brand Finance's annual ranking of the 50 biggest global beauty brands highlighted the domination of legacy brands and "mom's favorites" such as Olay and Avon in the top ten.

The ranking measures areas including current market value and customer loyalty, with the number one spot going to America's Olay — launched in 1950. Second and third spot went to brand Avon and France's L'Oreal respectively. Both companies have been around for over 100 years.

High tech startup scans your feet.

BY: JACKIE SILVER 

How do all those celebrities manage to look so composed on the red carpet tottering around on sky-high heels? It isn't easy to pull off the super high heel look...unless those shoes are made for your own feet. Now, a new company offers custom-made shoes online. The people at high-tech fashion startup Shulogique are determined to make comfortable high heels a reality by utilizing advanced digital technology.

First they scan women's feet and then use that 3D image to create shoes that fit the biomechanics of each foot, therefore achieving a unique level of comfort. Then each woman can go to their website, pick a style, a heel height and color.

"We offer you tools to customize the designs through our one-of-a-kind design center. That way, we make sure the shoes fit your sense of style as well. Finally, to complement the look, we will offer custom-made handbags and belts designed to fit your lifestyle," says Shulogique Co-Founder and Director of Strategic Planning, Natalia Carrasco.

Shulogique holds "scanning events" during which women get their feet scanned, test the company's shoe samples, view the shoe collection and create their own personalized shoe designs through a 3D design tool. The data they collect helps them perfect their algorithms to create high heels that are actually comfortable.

The entire scanning process takes less than five minutes per person. You only have to go through the process once and you will be ready to start shopping for shoes online.

After you get your feet scanned, you can select a shoe design via their online gallery. "Our wide collection of styles goes from classic to innovative and from sexy to professional. As we increase the number of styles, you will always be able to go back and re-order your favorite ones," Carrasco explains.
