The most popular articles that I’ve published are about facial bone maintenance and rejuvenation. Bone maintenance is an important lifelong endeavor for optimal health. Facial bone maintenance may help retain facial characteristics over time. Facial bone loss is well documented and is the culprit behind my pesky eye wrinkles as a result of orbital bone loss. No lotion or cream will eliminate skin wrinkles that are due to bone loss. Fillers? Hard pass. Wolf’s Law describes the potential to build bone but to do so, the body needs the right ingredients to support bone formation or ossification. Bone remodeling requires a healthy biochemistry to support regeneration. Early research shows that creatine is beneficial for skin AND bone health.
Deborah Crowley - Facial Bone Remodeling Pioneer by Deborah Tosline
In 1979, Deborah Crowley invented facial resistance training and founded FlexEffect Facialbuilding (TM), a comprehensive program that uses resistance facial exercises to strengthen face and neck muscles. In 2010, Ms. Crowley published the third edition of her book and introduced Bone Jolting (TM) and Pressure Reps (TM) for bone remodeling. Research shows that facial bone volume decreases over time changing our appearance and enhancing folds and wrinkles in the overlying skin. Ms. Crowley was ahead of her time when she published the Bone Jolting (TM) and Pressure Reps (TM) bone remodeling program to address the startling changes of facial bone loss over time.
Taurine for Skin Health, Longevity and More by Deborah Tosline
When a substance, protocol, or lifestyle promotes longevity, you can bet it will benefit the skin. Our internal condition is expressed on the skin which can show evidence of internal health imbalances. The best way to improve skin conditions is from the inside. You already know how to optimize your health; do you choose yourself on a daily basis? Most folks don’t prioritize their health until an issue arises. Just as the skin shows evidence of illness, it also shows and glows when our internal health is balanced. Recently, I began taking Taurine for tinnitus and soon learned that it is an amazing supplement for skin and health as well. Taurine supplementation has been found to promote skin hydration from within.
Mewing - a Mandatory Posture for Optimum Health and a Balanced Facial Profile by Deborah Tosline
Mewing is a mouth posture invented by Dr. Mike Mew that maintains closed lips, uses constant nose breathing and rests the tongue against the roof of the mouth to develop healthy facial posture. Mewing propels the bottom jaw forward to develop a healthy facial profile that promotes straight teeth alignment, supports the nose and cheeks, widens the upper jaw and provides access to a full airway for better breathing. I began mewing in 2019 and continue to this day.
Review – Wholesale Natural Body Care by Deborah Tosline
In 2015, the Environmental Working Group found that women apply “168 chemicals to their faces and bodies every day”. A 2023 study from the College of Charleston, found that “on average, young women use eight different personal care products each day that can contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals, but some report as many as 17.” To promote good health (Health = Beauty) it is vital to choose personal care products (PCPs) carefully. I make many of my PCPs including tinctures, serums, oil blends, lotions, creams, masks, and deodorant to name a few. Over the decades, I’ve made conscious decisions to avoid/minimize my exposure to synthetic chemicals making it difficult for me to find retail products that I would use. Every once in a while, I research skin care and this time I found Wholesale Natural Body Care.

Nutrition and Nutraceuticals for Facial Bone Health by Deborah Tosline
Bones are the foundation of our face and body and combined with soft tissue provide the power to move us through life. Buried deep beneath an intricate matrix of skin, fascia, blood vessels, muscles and more our hidden bones labor to meet our demands. Out of sight, out of mind, it’s easy to forget about them. The US mainstream lifestyle does not promote bone health. Over time, bones lose density and strength which fundamentally changes health outcomes and physical appearance.
