Contrary to popular opinion, I am kinda glad that the big shots are not interested in doing research and if I were a founder of a face exercise program, I would not be interested in proving what I already know. What for? It isn't like the founders are hurting for money. You don't see them investing oodles of money on marketing because the results speak for themselves and their clients' experiences and word of mouth is all they need to stay in business.
As things are now, to me the world of face exercises is like that mom & pop store round the corner where everybody knows your name and is always glad you came. I love the attention clients get and how programs can be personalized according to needs. Sometimes when big industries catch on and try to get a piece of the pie, some of the quality of service customers got goes out the window and some small businesses get pushed out. I would hate that. I sort of like that there is diversity in the anti-aging industry and that face exercises are only part of the solutions out there. It is like a secret only a select few know about or believe in and to me that makes face exercises special. (Kinda like how people might not want everyone to know who did their surgery, or makes their clothes because it makes them unique.)
I imagine there was a time when cosmetic surgery was not as widespread as it is today, so nips and tucks were not so obvious and people had to wonder if gorgeous people were just born that way or had something done. Now with everyone doing it and frozen faces becoming the norm, it has lost its novelty and is so blah! And with so many people getting bad jobs done, the cool thing now is not to look like a freak after getting work done. To look as if no work was done aka "natural".
Enter the face exercise bunch and we do get natural looking results. We don't have to lie when asked if we had any surgery like a lot of celebs do. We can honestly say no...even in cases like mine where I look as if my eyes got a bleph, I can honestly say it is all due to exercise. Or I can just stop at saying I have never had any work done and not give away my secret. It doesn't matter if people don't believe me because I am #charliesheen WINNING! I kinda love that how we face exercisers have something not many have or care to have. So for me, personally, I don't understand the need for research to be done. Face exercise founders continue to get clients and their clients continue to be pleased with their results. We who BELIEVE don't need tests. Doctors who are busy offering surgical options don't need the tests. Doctors who offer both options don't need the tests.
It seems to me those who want tests are those worried that they might be missing out.  But why should they have it easy?  We had to gamble so just bloody grow a pair and jump like we did and hope you land safely; or just don't worry your poor heads about unproven things and go to the methods that have already been proven scientifically.
In other words, folks who already have something working for them are not interested in doing tests. Why should they? It is like a bipartisan movement with two extremes. Folks pick a side and go with it. They don't concern themselves with trying to verify if what the other party believes is worth it, or in trying to sway those in the other party to believe in their values. They simply put them out there and hope they sound good enough to win them votes. Only there is no winner to be crowned as there is not contest. The variety of options makes life interesting IMO.
So yeah, testing be damned. Live and let live I say! |
Well said, Nonie! Just occasionally I mention I do facial exercises and then people want me to show them some examples - I give them one, briefly, and then encourage them to do research themselves if they are really interested. I am glad it is not big business and people have to bother to search it out. |
