Links To Informational Websites
The links to the websites I'm listing here are full of informational content, and are run by people who I think have integrity and credibility.
Smart Skin Care - This is an excellent resource for independent information on all aspects of skin care: skin biology, anti-aging, skin rejuvenation, skin & nutrition, product reviews, and the list goes on. Reading these articles is an education. I've read them all. Just click a topic on the navigation bar and you're on the way to enlightenment.
Facerobics - Your Face Exercise Coach - Peta Prior, an absolutely charming Australian woman, demonstrates many exercises for all areas of the face on her 200-plus YouTube videos. You will like her presentation. See you in Australia.
Claiming Power - Mike Mew's ideas about adult face remodeling, orthodontics, facial structure, and facial beauty. The articles with graphics that Mike links to will certainly give readers something provocative to think about. I've spent hours going through the pages of this site.
Holistic Health & Living - Andrea Lewis has made informative videos about a few nutrients that could be important for good skin and good hair. One of these videos is about the trace mineral selenium found in Brazil nuts. But look through all her material. After watching her video on grape seed oil I got some - I like it. And the background music on her videos will not puncture your eardrums. Chopin is easy on the ears.
SeleneRiverPress - Has a large selection of books on holistic nutrition and health-related subjects to choose from. And you can browse through dozens of articles by clicking on the Historical Archives tab. This stylish site has good information for people who want to stay healthy.
Gym for Your Skin - An article by Dr. Mercola that describes the benefits of facial exercise along with advice on how to improve the condition of the skin. The article goes into detail about how facial exercise can improve one's appearance.
Cosmetics Cop - I've mentioned Paula Begoun on my site many times because of her expertise and absolute frankness in matters pertaining to cosmetics, skin care, and hair care. I do not agree with her views on facial exercise, but this is an honest disagreement. Her book, The Beauty Bible, should be in every woman's bookcase.
Skin Biology - Dr. Loren Pickart, creator of this huge site, is a brilliant man. It took me a week to go through this encyclopedic survey of skin and hair care and treatment options. Dr. Pickart's articles are not for the casual reader who thinks that a few minutes of study is all that's necessary for a complete knowledge of how to look young and healthy.
Flex Effect - Deborah Crowley, the creator of this site, says, "Keep the face motionless to prevent lines, pat lightly around the eyes to avoid damage. Oh please, If such out-dated thinking was true, I'd be carrying my face around in a bag!" For Deborah, facial exercise is simply an extension of bodybuilding. Keeping the face motionless and patting lightly around the eyes is worse than a waste of time.
Carolyn's Facial Fitness - Facial exercises have definitely helped Carolyn. Her face is toned-up, her skin is radiant, and she looks healthy. Read through some of her articles. Carolyn Cleaves is an excellent writer who might inspire women and men to try out and stay with her rational program of facial exercises.
Anti-aging Beauty Zone - Linda Robison wrote all the pages on this site. Her explanations of the many ways to tone up the skin and muscles of the face are completely clear. Spend six minutes looking at the Kansa Wand video - it's relaxing and informative. Linda's ideas about keeping an expressive young-looking face, the multimedia material, and even the facial-health promoting ads are all easy to watch. Here is a photo of Linda.
Eva Fraser's Facial Fitness Centre - Based in London, Kensington, England, Eva's studio has been helping people tone up and shape their faces for several decades. She is an excellent teacher whose own face shows the benefits of her facial exercise program.
Coconuts and Kettlebells - I found Noelle's informative website while I was searching for an effective make-it-yourself acid hair rinse. I found that and a lot of other health information in her pages - diet tips, natural skin care, enjoyable exercises, and what Noelle calls mindset. Take a look at her photo-filled website.

Women's Hair Loss Project - This good-looking website is directed mostly toward women but men too can benefit from its resources and forum. The style is funny, charming, and literate - and always informative.
Facercise - Carole Maggio's website on which she writes about her facial exercise program. There are also links to many articles she has written about various aspects of facial toning.
Hair Boutique - A consumer-oriented hair care site with many informative articles by Karen Shelton, a personable writer. If a woman has a bad-hair day or many of them, this is the site to visit.
Alopecia Areata Information - An explanation of the causes, symptoms, and development of this form of hair loss, along with possible treatment options.
Androgenetic Alopecia - Advice and treatment options for this form of hair loss, which is also known as male pattern baldness.

Dr. Andrew Weil - If you need sound advice about any nutritional problem, this is the place to visit. Dr. Weil keeps up with all the latest research findings on nutrition and presents these findings in clear, personable prose.
Hair Loss Is Reversible - This is my site for people with hair loss problems. In it I explain the causes and treatment options for male pattern baldness and female diffuse hair loss. I also have a page in which I explain in detail how to do the difficult (almost impossible) scalp exercise.
