A hand-held device with a paddle, an arm and a handle. Using the handle and arm, the paddle is slapped/tapped against the face to, in effect, provide a workout for an individual's facial skin and facial muscles. One purpose of a workout for the facial muscles is to tighten the facial muscles by inducing/stimulating the production of new and healthy collagen, improve skin firmness and texture, and blood circulation. The skin's cells need good circulation to heal and produce collagen. The slapping/tapping of the face creates a superficial trauma to the skin and muscles which tricks the body into producing high levels of collagen to assist in the healing process without causing any actual damage to the skin.
