Frownies Wrinkle RidFrownies are simple and effective, the best part?  Frownies are easy to incorporate into your bedtime routine.  I’m admittedly late to reporting on Frownies, I don’t have (m)any wrinkles yet but I figure it can’t hurt to pre-emptively train my muscles, right?!

How to use Frownies

Sometimes when things are simple, they stump me!  it’s true, I’m like, that’s it? are you kidding, it’s that simple?!   Well sweets you just open the box, fold at the perforations to have a diamond or triangle shape.  Massage the area you will apply for a few seconds.  Moisten the shiny side of the Frownie, gently un-wrinkle the area and apply the moistened Frownie.  You should keep the Frownie on for at least 3 hours but it makes sense to use at night while you’re sleeping.

So who made these miracle papers, that don’t hurt at all and rid your face of wrinkles? Frownies were created in 1889 by Margaret Kroesen to help her daughter get rid of wrinkles.  As a testimony to their efficacy, Frownies are still going strong 125 years later.  Use Frownies on your laugh lines, crow’s feet, frown lines or any other place you need to get rid of wrinkles.  This product is keeping angry mommy faces wrinkle free, love it!!

Roll Wrinkles Away with Sera Skin Care Product Review

July 21st, 2008 · 4 Comments

SeraI’ve been testing Sera skin care and have fallen in love with the little glass tube that rolls away the troubles.

I don’t have (m)any wrinkles yet, perhaps two or three so my usage is purely preventative at this point.  I LOVE this product because it is a small, think the size of a lipstick tube.  The roller is amazing, you don’t have to get eye cream under your nails, no need to worry about contaminating your eye cream with other beauty products.  The roller is, simply put, a sanitary and efficient way to apply eye wrinkle serum. 

Sera uses recycled and recyclable glass!  that’s right, you’re going to keep this beauty out of the landfill TWICE!  Retails for $39.95 @ Roll Away Winkles

24.7 Skincare Wrinkle Treatment Cream Product Review

June 18th, 2008 · No Comments

24-7 Anti Wrinkle Treatment Cream

24.7 Skincare Wrinkle Treatment Cream comes in a little jar.  It’s almost a solid and has a waxy feel.  I’m only reviewing the experience, not the effectiveness of wrinkle treatment since I have only two wrinkles according to the anaylisis I underwent at the Total Beauty summit. 

I used it between my eyebrows because I know those angry mommy frownlines are in my future.  The treatment immediately tightened my skin.  When I run my finger across it is smooth like newborn baby skin… no pores or pits, really nice surface texture. I would imagine it would fill in wrinkles very effectively. Just apply and let absorb for a minute, no scent detected.  If you’re looking for wrinkle treatment, Freeze 24.7 would be a great choice.

Retinol ROC Wrinkles B Gone

April 16th, 2008 · No Comments

Roc Deep Wrinkle Retinol Correxion Retinol this and retinol that, you hear it all the time but are all retinol products the same?  Here are the things to look for…

Retinol products that contain Vitamin A

Opaque/ air-tight packaging

Look for a formula with SPF 30 for daytime use

For deep winkles, look for Retinol with Essential Mineral Complex 

Be sure to build up your Retinol use, gradually and train your skin.  This gradual build up will lessen the chance of irritation that can result in red or flaky skin.  Lucky for us there’s a new product on the market that has all this:  ”The RETINOL CORREXION® DEEP WRINKLE DAILY MOISTURIZER with SPF 30 from RoC® is clinically shown to visibly reduce the appearance of expression lines and deep wrinkles after 8 weeks of use!” 

I loved the ROC hand correxion I used a while ago, so I’m sure I’ll love this too!
