Tips for frownies

1) The glue on the back of these Frownies is quite strong. As such, I recommend that you only wear these on nights when you plan on taking a shower the next morning. This is because the steam from the shower will help in dissolving the glue and therefore removing the Frownie. Otherwise, if you are just washing your face say over the sink the next morning, you'll have to spend at least a few minutes wetting the Frownie, waiting a bit, trying to pull it away from your face a bit, wetting it some more, etc. Unless you are the type of person who feels comfortable YANKING the Frownie and glue from your face (which to me would be too rough on your skin), it is going to take a bit of work to soften the Frownie/glue. Therefore, iIt's much much easier to just let the steam from the shower do most of the work. What I find helps is….before you go into the shower, wet the Frownie well, and try and pull up at least some of the edges of the Frownie. This in turn will help the steam/water from the shower get under the edges of the Frownie to help dissolve the glue….
2) As far as applying the Frownie before bed, I find that a smaller piece of the patch is better, so I will often cut them down a bit in size. The reason for this is….I usually apply the Frownie to either the area immediately over my eyebrow (where I have a deep horizontal line) or else to the area between my two eyebrows. Either way, I find the patches are too big and end up pulling too big an area of my skin together due to the sheer strength of the glue. The Frownie's directions really aren't good at explaining this or giving you any 'tips' but….because this glue is so strong, and the patches somewhat big (at least for my face), if you use the entire patch it can actually seem to create MORE 'wrinkles' because the strong glue can pull on your skin, PARTICULARLY along the edges of the Frownies patch. In addition, if you DO wet the entire surface area of the patch and then apply it to your face, the EDGES of the patch (which are very distinct and somewhat 'sharp'), can often dig INTO your skin, and when you remove the patch, you are left with 'dents' on your face from the edges of the patch. Therefore, when I wet the back of the patch, I only wet the center section of it….NOT the edges. I then place the patch on my face and press on the center of the patch only, leaving the edges of the patch remaining dry and therefore not stuck to my face. Depending on the size of the patch and where on my face I placed it, I might then take small scissors and cut off the edges of the patch if they are protruding too much.

They do work, but I find that I have to be very consistent with them to keep the results. I'm not sure I want to wear stickers to bed for the rest of my life. I agree with another reviewer that it might be best for leading up to a big event. They're not a very sexy accessory to wear to bed. Also, my skin is a little sensitive, so I have to be careful taking them off (soak the pad thoroughly for a while) or I get a red patch where it was. Overall, though, I'd recommend them, because they do work.

      Comments about Frownies Facial Pads, Use on Forehead and Between Eyes, 144 ea:

      I've used Frownies for years on the "concentration" line between my eyes (it's not a "frown" line because I honestly don't frown). Using them gives the skin a break by preventing the muscles from tightening -- that's what increases the depth of the line.

      It's not magic, but it helps better than anything else.

      great results w/ consistent use

      Comments about Frownies Facial Pads, Use on Forehead and Between Eyes, 144 ea:

      These patches work wonders on the frown lines between eyebrows. The trick is to wear them at night every night while you sleep because if you're like me, and prone to frown lines, then you probably frown in your sleep. My frown lines used to be SO prominent first thing in the morning, but after using frownies, I wake up and remove the patch and the skin underneath is smooth and wrinkle free. I've been using them religiously for about 2 months (every night, and even if I take a nap too) and my formerly moderate frown lines are completely gone. These work like botox in that they don't allow you to make the face that creates the frown and gives you the wrinkles. Of course, unlike botox these do not paralyze the muscle 24/7. But if you wear them consistently, I do believe that the muscles get trained and you will notice it when you are frowning and stop doing it as much. I used to frown all the time (not because I am unhappy, I just have a very expressive face!) and now I notice when I start to frown during the day and I don't do it nearly as much. I am confident that I have bought myself at least a few more years before I need more drastic measures. I can't recommend these highly enough! Remember, you won't get long term results immediately, but wear them every night for 30 days and you should definitely see a big improvement. I have recommended these to several friends and the ones who use them consistently are similarly amazed. I wish they could somehow make them clear. They look pretty silly, but I say so what. My husband laughs at me, but he's glad I am using these instead of getting botox just yet.

            I watched an interview of Raquel Welch, who maintains a lovely look. She claims she has not had surgery and has used these for years. That interview plus my own desire to try new beauty regimens due to the loss of a long term marriage lead me to this product. I use both of the styles of these patches. I am a side sleeper and noted the nasolabial fold on my left face was deeper than the right. I had filler done of both nasolabial fold area and have used these frownies to maintain the fill- They have been very effective. I also had deep forehead grooves and within 3 months, they are nearly gone. These patches are not comfortable to wear on the nasolabial areas (due to movement there) but I do not notice any discomfort on the forehead. I trim them to better fit the contours and in trimming them I cut away sharp corners. It has been worth the effort! As with all beauty regimens, I find these are one of the several methods I use to enhanced my appearance.

              These really do help stop wrinkles from getting worse, and I actually feel they have made my frown lines better. I like to cut one down a little and put it on the area above my upper lip to prevent the creases I get from sleeping on my side. They're easy to use, and aside from looking a little dorky when you go to bed, they are great!

              I use these nightly to diminish the lines between my eyebrows which are made worse when I sleep on my side. I think they definitely make a difference, however, if I don't use them the issue quickly returns. I think the cost is high for paper adhesive patches.

                There is review here that is right on about everything; it is the one detailing steaming the product off in the shower, wetting the center only and trimming corners.
                I use this only between my eyebrows for a single deep frown line. I have a bright morning sun in my bedroom, which right before I awaken seems to cause me to frown, and I also frown when I concentrate or try to see something more clearly.
                This product prevents my unconscious frown expressions while sleeping, and also helps me be more concious of my frown expressions during the day.
                I believe consistent use is important, because Frownies pull wrinkled areas flat by morning. The skin being held flat is counteracting the expressions I am making during waking hours.
                I cut my Frownies in half, getting twice as many. This box lasts almost a year using one a night.

                I used the pads on my forehead for three evenings, and would say that I noticed an improvement in the smoothness and frown lines; however, I do have a tendency to break-out and on the third day I noticed about 4-5 large pimples surrounded by patches of smaller ones! I had to throw out these patches.

                    Started using frownies several years ago after I consistly got remarks from friends and family who thought i was upset because i was frowning...the only problem was that I was NOT frowning! not intentionally anyway. Frownies really work for me. I use them for the frown lines between my eyebrows. Put it on at night and sometimes on my days off, if around the house. Love my Frownies.
