VIDEO: Awkward Miracle Face Rejuvenator

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Older people seem to constantly be searching for solutions to their sagging faces. Sadly, not everyone is down for the nip/stretch/lift/tuck/recover process. Some wrinkled folk put baby placenta on their visage, some peel it with chemicals, others have found solace in all natural products like Origins, and still more don’t do a darn thing. Well, creams and surgeries and wrinkles be damned: you your mom can now exercise your her face to firmness! Just like the lady in this video does for several excruciatingly awkward minutes with the Facial Flex.
