Why using your fingers for facial exercises and self-facial massage is not recommended by practitioners.
It is very difficult to maintain correct therapeutic pressure using fingers for self-massage and – especially – for facial exercises. You may be pulling and putting too much pressure by dragging the skin and forcing creasing with your fingers, blocking blood and lymph vessels, squeezing them, which dehydrating your skin.
Contrarily, FACEXER is your personal exerciser which is shaping and fitting exactly to YOU, embracing YOUR particular forms, gently holding your skin in place to prevent wrinkle formation during exercising and distributes even gentle pressure on the bone, muscle, nerve, connective tissue and skin systems of the face, head and neck.
Please refer to the picture of the skin layers – you can see the location of epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. Hypodermis is a “sponge”. According to Wikipedia “hypodermis is a layer of tissue which lies immediately below the dermis of the skin. It is often referred to as subcutaneous tissue. The hypodermis consists primarily of loose connective tissue . Hypodermis contains larger blood (and lymph) vessels and nerves than those found in the dermis”. Hypodermis is like a sponge, full of moisture when it is healthy. Look at the picture and see what is happening with the sponge when you press it with your fingers – you are squeezing its vital moisture, blocking blood and lymph vessels, preventing smooth flow of fluid inside of tissue. (see picture below)

- Elastic fibers: elastic fibers are made of elastin and are "stretchable."
- Reticular fibers: reticular fibers consist of one or more types of very thin collagen fibers. They join connective tissues to other tissues.) References: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loose_connective_tissue
