Combat the effects of ageing in just 5 minutes a day by choosing
from 30 fun and easy exercises targeted to your individual face
shape. Did you know that the structure of your face is made up of
more than 50 muscles, and that their fitness, to a large degree,
determines its appearance? Just as we can exercise and tone our
body's muscles, we can do the same with our facial muscles. This
can ultimately make a marked difference in our appearance and can
potentially eliminate the need for invasive plastic surgery. Too
much sun, smoking, degradation of collagen layers and poor skin
care all contribute to sagging facial muscles. Facial gymnastics,
if done on a regular basis, can treat a variety of concerns, from
"empty"- looking cheekbones, jowls and relaxed eyelids to wrinkles
and impaired elasticity. Imagine a facial gym that uses only the
muscles of your face. No special equipment or location is required
- just some diligence and perseverance. Your smile alone works more
than 25 facial muscles. So smile! The small but important risorius
muscle is found in the corner of your mouth: if it's well
stimulated, it can correct a drooping mouth. It also stimulates the
muscles mid-face, inflating your cheeks. And nothing gives a
fresher and younger look than well-accentuated cheekbones. Whether
your face is oval, square, round, long or diamond shaped, The
5-Minute Facial Workout presents tips and information adapted to
your shape to help you maintain your features as you strengthen
muscle tone. And we've added a new section that helps you to
customize your exercises to match your face type. Each page
features clear instructions, with a photograph to demonstrate the
movement, so the exercises are straightforward and easy to do.
'A taut, edgy thriller. Grabs you by the guts in the first chapter
and slow squeezes the breath out of you until the very last line.'
Helen Fields PI Vincent Delaney thought he was done with the New
Orleans Police Department. But now a string of child murders brings
an unexpected invitation from the FBI, and his old boss.A serial
killer is roaming the South, preying on children appearing in
pageants. The police want Delaney to go undercover and use his own
family as bait. Accepting would mean lying to people he loves and
maybe even putting them in harm's way. It's not like Delaney
doesn't have enough problems already. In Baton Rouge, a violent
criminal has escaped and is seeking revenge for the brother Delaney
shot dead. And north of the French Quarter, shopkeepers are being
extorted-which would normally be a matter for the police, except
the police are the ones responsible for the crime. Delaney has his
work cut out for him. And he'll be lucky if he makes it out of this
alive... Owen Mullen is a best-selling author of psychological and
gangland thrillers. His fast-paced, twist-aplenty stories are
perfect for all fans of Lee Child, Ian Rankin and Harlan Coben.
What readers say about Owen Mullen: 'Owen Mullen knows how to ramp
up the action just when it's needed... he never fails to give you
hard-hitting thrillers that have moments that will stay with you
forever...' 'One of the very best thriller writers I have ever
read.' 'Owen Mullen writes a good story, he really brings his
characters to life and the endings are hard to guess and never what
you expected.'
