Women in our 40s are in a strange spot.

Old enough to be thinking about ageing. Too young to feel we have a place in the conversation. And far too busy to do much about either.

The menopause and midlife conversation has rightly opened up, but it tends to start at 50. So where does that leave the rest of us, already noticing changes in our faces, bodies and energy, with nowhere that feels like it’s talking to us?

In my first Substack piece, I ask whether women in their 40s are the forgotten generation of midlife, and what 40 even looks like these days.

I’d love to know what you think. Read the full piece via the substack link in my bio, and tell me in the comments: do you feel part of the midlife conversation yet?

Reasons to follow or unfollow me 💁‍♀️

I am not looking for a huge following here, just a community of like-minded people who understand it is not incompatible to want to age naturally while still wanting to find ways to look and feel amazing, at any age.

If this isn't your vibe, I really would love you to unfollow me. But if this chimes with you, hi!! 👋 Thanks for being here!

🇫🇷French women have never treated ageing as a problem to fix. They treat it as a life to be lived well.

Good food. Long lunches. Lipstick because you like it. And looking after your face the same way you look after the rest of you, with a little time and attention every day.

That's what Luminous is about. The Luminous Method isn't about chasing the face you had at 30. It's a daily ritual of massage and movement that helps you feel at home in the face you have now.

Less chasing youth. More becoming yourself.

Save this for the days you need the reminder, and send it to a friend who needs it too. 🤍

Has your jawline lost definition? Try this!

Firm up your jaw line with lymphatic drainage massage.

Try this simple technique, demonstrated by @rossduttson to reduce bloating along the jaw line and improve jaw definition.

Ross is a Resident Face Fitness trainer here at Luminous, putting faces through their paces every week, live and on catch up!

Our trainers are world class, teaching you techniques that work WITH your face, not against it. Reducing wrinkles, toning, lifting and brightening the faces of our members; not because we are anti-ageing, but because we deeply understand facial structure and how our habits, both good and bad, and significantly impact our faces.

Often signs of ageing are not age related, but stress related. Often muscles that are sagging just need toning.
Often skin that appears dull or puffy just needs improved circulation and lymphatic drainage.

Celebrate your age by honouring it through keeping your face as healthy as possible. Unlock your radiance today! by @luminousfaceyoga

3 weeks in to our starter programme...and this is exactly why we do what we do.

Let’s stop pretending that a pot of cream can create this kind of change.

And let’s stop pretending that the only way to make a meaningful difference to your face is through injectables or invasive treatments.

Your face is living, moving tissue. It has muscles, fascia, circulation, lymphatic flow and connective tissue — and how we look after all of that matters.

Through targeted face fitness, massage and techniques designed to support the health and function of your facial tissues, we can create really visible changes. Not overnight. Not through a filter. Through consistency and actually working with your face.

The physical results are what bring many people to Luminous.

But honestly, they’re not the reason we do it.

It’s the change in how our members feel about themselves. The confidence. Looking in the mirror and recognising a face that feels more like you. Feeling like you’re actively doing something to support how you age, rather than just watching it happen.

For too long, I’ve watched the beauty industry overlook the power of natural face fitness — perhaps because there’s much more money to be made from keeping us endlessly buying the next product, treatment or quick fix.

But enough.

Your face deserves more than another pot of cream.

And you don’t have to choose between doing nothing and having something done to you.

There is another way. by @luminousfaceyoga

Save and try this technique daily if you want to soften your 11 lines. 11 lines are not so much a sign of ageing as a sign of repetitive frowning due to stress and tension.

They do not need to be permanent and with the correct techniques, you can make a huge difference!

We are starting our FREE natural facelift challenge on Monday- 7 days of 20 min sessions so you can see for yourself the difference you can make.

Drop a DM if you would like to know more about the challenge or comment link below for registration link.

Can't wait to see you there! by @luminousfaceyoga

I am not normally one to dwell on the negatives...but every now and then, global events can really come crashing in, affecting mood and motivation.

All the talk, from credible sources about AI creating a mass extinction event within a relatively short time frame has left me feeling helpless and low...

Today, all I feel like doing is going for a walk and squeezing my loved ones...

Is anyone else feeling like this today? by @luminousfaceyoga

Just a few minutes a day can make a big difference, and you'll notice the results within weeks, often days.

This member was so impressed by how different her eyes looked after just 3 weeks.

So many people feel turning to surgery or invasive treatments is their only option, but it is important that people understand the alternatives available to them.

If you have been considering eye lid surgery, or other invasive treatments for your eye area, give Luminous Face Yoga a go first.

When you sign up, start with our 6 Week Natural Facelift Challenge, and then you can continue your progress with our Upper Face Programme. We also do regular live classes focused on the Eyes and Forehead.

Hi 👋, I am Philippa, Founder of Luminous Face Yoga.

I came to face yoga in my early thirties out of real concern about the very deep lines in my forehead from years of over expressing.

I always knew Botox wasn't for me, but I felt strongly I wanted to do something...and that's when I trained in natural facelift techniques. I couldn't believe how effective the techniques were in reducing lines, brightening the skin, and toning up the face.

So many things we attribute to ageing are actually down to tension and habits- and these can be reversed with the correct techniques.

Face fitness really feels like a secret the beauty industry is keeping from you; because it doesn't fit with the commercial narrative...there is no 'product' to buy, no 'age defying' cream.

Just the right techniques practiced consistently- and the difference you can make is far more impressive than anything that comes in a bottle.

Try it for yourself FREE, by joining our natural facelift challenge - 7 daily sessions to kickstart your face fitness journey.

Only a few FREE places left so don't wait to join- click link in stories to register.

It's time you were let in on the secret! 🤫 xx by @luminousfaceyoga
