A fitness class for your face? Yes please!
A few weeks ago my friend told me about the FaceGym studio she went to get a facial ‘workout’. She was raving about it and I thought it was probably a good idea to book an appointment right before New York Fashion Week starts because there will be lots of shoots and photo opportunities involved. While I have yet to try a FaceGym salon workout, the brand has reached out to me just at the perfect time and asked me if I would like to test out some of their most popular products and tools at home, and of course I said yes. You know I take my skincare very seriously.
Quickly on the concept of FaceGym: It launched almost a decade ago with workout studios aiming to provide a non-invasive face workout and deliver supermodel-sharp facial contours without the help of invasive treatments and none of the downtime. And who doesn’t love that chiseled look?! And now they have released products and tools so you can achieve similar results at home.
Here are some of the items I’ve received: ELECTRO-LITE GEL CLEANSER, HYDRO-BOUND DAILY SERUM, VITAMIN C + BIOFERMENT GEL-CREAM MOISTURIZER, YOUTHFUL ACTIVE ROLLER 2-IN-1 SKINCARE MICRONEEDLING TOOL, MULTI-SCULPT HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONTOURING TOOL.
ELECTRO-LITE GEL CLEANSER
I first tested out the ELECTRO-LITE GEL CLEANSER, which promised to give a brightening effect due to Exfoliating Biotech Enzyme and Hydroclay working together to deeply cleanse and refine the skin’s texture and shrink pores. My face didn’t feel dry afterwards and my skin felt very clean, fresh, plump and hydrated. And it’s exactly what I look for in a good quality cleanser. It’s also smells like coconut oil and I love it!
HYDRO-BOUND DAILY SERUM
This lightweight daily moisture-enhancing SERUM delivers immediate and long-lasting hydration for bouncier, firmer and glowing skin. It helps the skin naturally produce Hyaluronic Acid to improve elasticity and reduce fine lines. It keeps my skin looking hydrated, moisturized and smooth, and gives it a nice glow. Niacinamide is amazing for your face and it really helps even out my skin tone and helps me stay hydrated throughout the day. Use it with the microneedling tool and it will truly transform your skin, I promise!
LIFTWEAR
Now meet LIFTWEAR – a confidence-boosting, high-performance gel-cream moisturizer designed to firm, lift and brighten your best angles. After one use your skin feels immediately firmer, lifted and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are reduced. It feels great on my skin and goes on smoothly, with no tacky feel or shine. My skin feels brighter and more dewy. And how amazing is the packaging??
MULTI-SCULPT
Just like a studio workout at home, this next-gen tool was expertly designed by FaceGym to sculpt your complexion. Inspired by traditional Gua Sha stones, the brand’s MULTI-SCULPT is ideal for aiding lymphatic drainage and releasing tension from a chronically clenched jawline. It has six different edges that help you lift, contour and reduce facial tension, releasing blockages in the muscles and aiding lymphatic drainage to depuff the skin and soften fine lines. Personally I like how my skin looks afterwards. I see the results instantly! For extra-soothing and cooling benefits, the brand suggests to keep the tool in the fridge. I’m hooked!
YOUTHFUL ACTIVE ROLLER
Ok, this unique tool is a must-have and will get you addicted from the first use. This MICRONEEDLING ROLLER delivers immediate and long-lasting hydration for bouncier, firmer and glowing skin. It will help you unlock your own skin confidence. Developed with powerful active ingredients including retinol-like Reneseed™, Niacinamide + Green Tea, the dynamic fusion of mechanical rolling and topical application delivers instant results with minimal discomfort. Skin looks younger, the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores are reduced, and overall firmness and elasticity is improved. This tool in particular really helped rejuvenate my skin, especially on my neck, giving it more firmness and reducing the fine lines on my face. The FaceGym roller is all about making your skin feel good and healthy. My skin always feels tighter after I finish my routine with it, so I like to do it in the morning!
THE VERDICT: Basically, I’m addicted to the instant effect I have on my face after using the FaceGym skincare and tools in AM and PM. I know, I sound like a stereotypical millennial who craves immediate gratification. But I’m fine with that because this answered so many of my skin’s prayers. Who doesn’t want to walk out of the house with their face more lifted, more defined, and more toned?
