Xbox not Botox

Turns out that in order to look young one need only shun expensive skin treatments, plastic surgery, or other reconstruction techniques for playing video games.

Courtesy of Bobbie Johnson in "The Guardian," experts (those pesky experts, they're everywhere!) believe the exaggerated facial expressions made during a gaming session may help reduce the signs of aging.

"The face has muscles which need to be exercised, just like any other part of your body," said Lynne Robinsons, a Pilates expert who has worked with the likes of Liz Hurley and Hugh Grant (who cares?). "With good suncare, snesible skincare and facial exercises, players may keep looking young and stay away from the Botox."

And who said video games don't do anything good for you? First they improve hand-eye coordination, next they allow the military to improve upon the killing techniques of soldiers, and now they keep us looking good?

Amazing work, video games, yet still no cure for cancer.
