Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you could get low priority tasks done while you sleep? Was one of your tasks reducing frown lines without paralysing your face??? We thought so. Let us introduce you to the newest additon to your beauty regime, that is, if you're not already using them.
Frownies offer a non-invasive, purse friendly way to get rid of frown lines and expression lines. But it will take a little longer than botox. Having been around since the 1800s, frownies are both used by the likes of Rene Russo and Racquel Welch (Click here to see who else uses frownies
Depending on the pack that you've bought (forehead & eyes and/or corners of eyes and mouth) they can be applied to the corners of the eyes and mouth, between the brows, and on the forehead. According to the packaging they should be left on for a minimum of 8 hours. During this time, the Frownies form a painless splint that stops any frown lines or expression lines forming which helps the skin to repair. Continued use will diminish frown lines - obviously deeper frown lines take longer to remedy.
To apply, massage the skin gently first (to increase the bloodflow.), spray the sticky side of the pad with rosewater (click here and here for two of our faves.), hold the skin taut and apply, pressing down gently.
Made of unbleached paper and vegetable glue, it seemed like these sticky triangles were too good to be true. Although there doesn't seem to be any clinical studies to back up frownies claims, all you need to do is type "frownies review" into google and you'll be met with hoards of testimonials from blogs and review sites.
But enough about what everyone else says, what did TBT find?

For us, Frownies are a winner. They are purse friendly, easy on the skin and they really work. A few sites have noted that Frownies might not be suitable for sensitive skin, but we've had no trouble. Regardless of your skin type do a patch test to make sure that it is sitable for your skin.
In total, we've used our Frownies for 30 days and....no more frown lines! It's erased our mini elevens and after sharing them with our mums; they have all benefitted from greater effects (they've all ordered their next box) as well as recommended the product to all of their friends.
There are only 3 cons; they aren't the most flattering (you probably can't wear them out...), they don't always stick down between the brows (even so they still get the job done.) and they're tricky to remove if you don't know how (always wet them thoroughly first, wait for the water to absorb and peel off. easy).
What are you waiting for? Get clicking! lol.
Have you ever used frownies? what did you think? Hope you've had a lovely week!) and it seems continually bathing in glowing press reviews (click here to see which magazines love Frownies) it seems like Frownies are in good company.

ReplyDeleteDo you think they'd be suitable for ppl with acne?
ReplyDeleteHi Kerri, I think so but it might be a good idea to check with your dermatologist first.
