1. Face Slimmer

Apparently, the best thing you can use to fight saggy skin on your face is a slimming "dummy". The manufacturer claims that it is enough to keep this gadget in one’s mouth for three minutes and keep making weird faces, to give the face a youthful shape and strengthen as many as twelve facial muscles. The best effects are supposedly achieved by loud articulation of vowels. The manufacturer assures that potential users will have no trouble to make time for exercise. After all, the routine can be done basically everywhere: in the shower, tub, before bedtime, or even while watching TV. Even if the training itself turns out to be no use, you can still amaze your social circles with completely new, full, silicone lips. And all this for around 80 $.
