Hi, I'm Linda. As a Certified Facial Fitness Specialist, I share effective and affordable DIY skin care methods to help you look your best at any age.
You won’t find any fancy skin care treatments or hard-to-get products here. Just practical techniques like:
Feeling like you're in your 30s mentally but spotting unfamiliar changes in the mirror? You're not alone. Around the late 40s, many women start noticing differences, admitting, "I don’t look like myself anymore!"
I'll show you how small changes can rejuvenate your look without breaking the bank. For example:
Do your cheeks appear flat? You can improve the shape naturally. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll see results.
Check Your Eyebrows! Are they faded or spotty? Defined brows are a simple yet effective anti-aging technique that can revitalize your look. They offer an instant pick-me-up, helping to brighten a tired appearance and frame your face beautifully!
You can temporarily reduce puffy, tired eyes within minutes with a swipe of an eye lift serum especially designed for sensitive mature skin.
There are many anti-aging beauty tips available. Some work, some don't.
Here at ABZ, I'll share which ones worked for me.
And the best part; most are simple, cheap, and can be done at home.
For over 30 years, my goal has been to age confidently, enhancing my unique features naturally without expensive procedures, or surgeries.
And along the way, I found inexpensive anti-aging treatments, beauty products & eye makeup tips that have worked well. And I like to share them with you.

While my pictures show positive results, it's important to understand that everyone responds differently. Stay encouraged, have realistic expectations, and give these exercises a go!😊
Firmer Face and Jowls. Inexpensive face exercise, helped firm the jowls and plump the cheeks.
The neck is a very hard area to fix. But I was able to reduce the neck ring and "some" sagging.
Brown spots are very hard to lighten at home. But it's possible with exfoliating combined with daily vitamin C serum routine.
It's important to note: At-home treatments won't provide the same dramatic results as professional procedures. And outcomes will differ for each individual.
Also, don't forget: It's important to use anti-aging products (like retinols and AHA's) to protect and promote collagen/elastin production.
Also, use a good sunscreen (one with a high PA+ rating). Yes! Sunscreen can protect and reverse skin damage! Who knew?
And, of course, diet counts too 😒. Sorry, but Poor foods choices will contribute to skin aging.

Okay, this next part might be a little dry for some! But, hey, understanding why your faces change over time can actually be pretty fascinating. Let's demystify the aging process together!
Many factors contribute to facial aging, like:
But, in my opinion, two factors that make the biggest impact on why we look different are shifts in facial fat pads and bone structure.
Note: As a facial fitness specialist, I've stressed the importance of facial fat pads and bone mass. It's wonderful to see prominent cosmetic surgeons like Dr. Rajani and Dr. Karam acknowledge how important they are in preventing facial aging.
Effects of facial fat pads
Facial fat pads are groups of fat cells tightly packed under our skin. They give your face a plump, full, smooth look. However, over the years, the distribution of these pads spread and change.
For example, pads in the upper part of our face, (around the eyes and cheeks), separate and thin out, causing hollowed eyes and droopy cheeks. At the same time, the pads in the lower face (around the jawline) increase, causing the area to look saggy, wider and bottom-heavy.
Bone loss and facial aging. Another major impact on facial aging is bone loss…
The bones in your face change. They lose volume and shift (as seen above). This affects the support they provide to your skin. When the bones change, the skin on top of them can start to sag or droop.
So, as you age, both the skin and the bones in your face go through transformations that can make your face look different. See how Facial Bone Loss can age your face …
Facial Exercises
Home-based anti-aging treatments, such as facial exercises and massages, can help counteract some effects of facial aging. These treatments may help improve muscle tone, reduce puffiness, and promoting healthy skin.
Studies show that massaging the face can provide anti-aging benefits by reducing wrinkles, sagging, and improving overall skin appearance and elasticity.
Aging is a journey, right? So, let's make sure our face and neck stay in top shape along the way. Here you'll discover a hand-picked collection of beauty hacks, designed to address the unique concerns faced by mature women like us, including:
Can these tips really make a difference at our age? I think so! Come on and join me, I'll show you what's possible.
All of these at-home anti-aging treatments can easily be added to your current skincare routine.
If you’ve had in-office procedures or plastic surgery, you can extend your results with certain at-home routines. Techniques like face exercises, massages, and exfoliating peels can help prevent and slow down facial aging.
Plus, let’s be real—the healthy, glowing look you get from a face massage is something Botox or a facelift just can’t provide.
NOTE: if you've recently undergone in-office facial treatment, check with your doctor before trying any suggestions on this site.
