Quickie Lift

A Face Lift for Pennies

By Kay


Some of TGF's prettiest readers have agreed to share with us their favorite style and beauty tips in what will be a regular feature here. UK lovely Kay has graced these pages with her own pictorial, and if you are a subscriber you can see more of her now. Kay also has a Personal Ad.

Those of us not getting any younger soon realize that some facial muscles are losing the battle against gravity. Technically, we're talking naso-labial folds here, the general relaxation of the cheeks that de-emphasizes our once-glorious cheekbones and gives us two deep grooves either side of our exquisitely painted lips. Normally I don't let them bother me too much, but if I want to look my best....

I use a stretched stocking skullcap to keep my (naturally long) hair in place. Next, get a roll of micropore surgical tape - this is one inch wide, very thin, white, very sticky and is usually used to hold bandages in position.

Any good pharmacist/drugstore should stock it. Make sure your face is absolutely dry and, before applying makeup, cut a length of tape about ten inches long and round off one end. Stick this end in place about level with the bottom of your earlobe and as close to the front of the ear as possible. Pull the other end up and over your head pressing down more of the tape next to your ear as you do so. With the tape as tight as possible press it all down firmly. Repeat on the other side and place the first tape under more tension as you overlap it completely with the second tape. The 'cantilever' you create balances the pull on both sides.

This 'artificial face-lift' completely reshapes your face, smoothes the jaw-line and gets rid of those sagging cheeks and deep grooves. The ends of the tape can be easily concealed under makeup and wig. I have worn this without discomfort for eight hours at a stretch (no pun intended). Unless you are doing something very energetic (let your imagination run wild here!), or are prone to perspire a lot, it will stay put. It also lifts the outer corners of your lips in a rather appealing way so my next tip has to be - smile a lot!
