We often get the question, "Do Frownies really work?" And the answer is a resounding "YES!" Frownies have been Hollywood's best kept secret for over 130 years because they work!
Frownies work by creating a cast-like hold to limit facial movement and train facial muscles to relax while applied. This mechanical process temporarily smooths and softens static expression lines and irons out fine lines and wrinkles. It’s important to note that Frownies, just like all skincare and cosmetic products, offer temporary results, and your results can be extended and maintained by addressing a few key factors explained in this article.
When it comes to achieving the best results with Frownies Facial Patches, there are several factors that can either enhance or diminish your experience. Understanding these factors and incorporating some helpful tips into your routine can significantly impact your results. As always, consult your dermatologist for a personalized skincare routine and to address your specific skin-related concerns.
Here are 10 factors that may affect your experience with Frownies:
1. Application
The proper application of Frownies Facial Patches is crucial for achieving optimal results. Ensure that your skin is clean and dry before applying the patches. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure the patches adhere correctly and remain effective. Overlapping the patches and covering the entire forehead can provide an optimal hold and maximise your results.

2. Skincare
Your overall skincare routine plays a significant role in the effectiveness of Frownies. Hydration is key, both from the inside out and outside in. Avoid using oil-based products directly under the patches as they can affect the adhesive. Use skincare products that complement the benefits of Frownies and avoid harsh ingredients that could counteract their effects.
2. Expressiveness
Being mindful of your facial expressions can help reduce the appearance or deepening of fine lines and wrinkles. Frownies help retrain the facial muscles to smooth and soften the appearance of expression lines. The more expressive you are throughout the day, the more those muscles strengthen in that waved position, working against the progress you have made by wearing Frownies overnight.
**Pro Tip:** Avoid testing out the Frownies by raising your brows or scrunching your forehead after applying them. Instead, massage the area prior to application to help ease tension in the muscles and promote circulation.
4. Consistency & Commitment
Consistency is key to getting the best results with Frownies. Just like working out at the gym, the more you stick to your routine, the better you'll feel and look. Make it a part of your daily self-care ritual and watch the magic happen! Stay curious and committed to problem-solving as you navigate changes.
**Pro Tip:** Start by wearing your Frownies daily for 30 consecutive days to establish a routine. Once you see your desired results (this could take as long as a few months), you may not have to wear your Frownies every night, depending on how your skin is impacted by all the other factors listed in this blog post. Then, if you notice lines in the evening, use Frownies that night.
5. Stress
High stress levels can increase cortisol, causing inflammation and worsening skin conditions which can take a toll on your skin, leading to breakouts, dullness, and fine lines. Did you know, just the physical act of furrowing your brow signals the release of stress hormones in the body? Frownies work by limiting this facial muscle movement while applied. Managing stress through relaxation, exercise, and sleep can improve your skin's health and enhance your Frownies experience.
6. Full Body Perspective
Your skin’s health is connected to your entire body. Posture, tension, and fascia build-up in the skull, neck, and chest can pull and tighten muscles, increasing fine lines, especially across the forehead. Incorporate stretching, exercise, gua sha, facial massage, and face yoga to release tension and improve your overall skin health.

7. Climate & Weather
Weather changes can affect your skin's behavior, requiring different care in dry versus humid climates. Seasonal changes also impact skin health and, consequently, your results with Frownies. Focus on giving your skin what it needs to thrive in different weather conditions. Weather changes could also impact how much water or Rose Hydrator you need to use to activate the adhesive.
**Pro Tip:** Keep your Frownies sealed in their container to avoid moisture getting in. This helps maintain the adhesive quality and prevents patches from sticking together.
8. Nourishing From Within
Good nutrition and hydration are essential for healthy skin. Avoiding alcohol and smoking can slow the development of wrinkles and other signs of aging. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants, along with plenty of water, helps nourish your skin from within.
**Pro Tip:** Aim to fill half your plate with colorful fruits and vegetables to ensure you're getting a variety of nutrients throughout the day.
9. Outlook
Your mindset can greatly influence your results with Frownies. Staying positive and committed to your skincare routine is crucial. Embrace the journey, celebrate small wins, and stay dedicated to your routine. A positive outlook benefits your results and fosters a supportive community.
10. Hormones
Hormonal changes significantly impact your skin's appearance and overall health. Fluctuations in hormones like estrogen and progesterone, whether due to pregnancy, menopause, or menstrual cycles, can influence your Frownies experience. Lower estrogen levels can lead to drier skin, while higher progesterone levels can increase oil production. Understanding and adapting to these changes helps maintain healthy skin and supports your Frownies experience.
**Pro Tip:** Did you know that Frownies Facial Patches have no active ingredients, making them a great option for pregnancy and breastfeeding moms?

By being mindful of these ten factors and incorporating the pro tips provided, you can optimize your experience with Frownies Facial Patches and achieve the best possible results for your skin. Remember, every skincare journey is unique, so stay curious, committed, and positive as you navigate your routine.
