Whether you’ve taken to scowling your way through the world (understandable) or couldn’t be more overjoyed to see each and every day, there’s a cost to pay. Yep, you already know what we’re going to say. Visible wrinkles. The dastardly lines just won’t leave us alone! And we bet if you’re anything like us, you’ve done all the searches on how to ‘naturally’ get rid of the expression-causing lines. But to no avail.
If a genie were to give us three wishes we’d be the kind of people to blow them all on perfect skin. We know it’s vapid, but imagine never even thinking about skin texture. Well, we might not be able to grant said wish, but we can point you in the direction of an option designed to help: ‘wrinkle patches’.
So, let’s find out more about these silicone options, shall we?

Frownies Facial Patches For Forehead & Between Eyes
From $44.23 at iHerb
Look, are we slightly sceptical when it comes to taping our faces every night? Yes. Is it because we just know the tape would cause major skin irritations on our sensitive skin? Also yes. But our hesitancy doesn’t mean that the taping trend revival isn’t a clever method to visibly lift your skin where you want it. In fact maybe we need to bite the bullet and give this cast-creating method a go for the sake of a lifted brow bone…

Do wrinkle patches really work?
While the jury’s still out when it comes the face taping (we’ll let you be the judge), there’s something to be said for the latest releases of silicone patches. Wearing the (often hypoallergenic) patches consistently for extended periods (i.e sleep) will help you to see a reduction in the visible appearance of wrinkles.
How often should you use wrinkle patches?
So, you’ve taken the leap and you’re looking to see how many nights a week you should wear your patches. While it changes from brand to brand, wearing your patches three to five nights a week will give your skin enough time to adjust. Remember consistency is key, and be sure to make the most out of your reusable patches.

Would you use wrinkle patches? Do you have any mature-age skin care tips?
I might give some of them a go but I am somewhat skeptical
I must admit that I have never heard or used any of these.
