After the handful of beauty posts I shared with you all, I hope that I have gained some trust. This next tip will require your trust in me because I believe you will think I’m nuts!!
It used to be bangs or botox to hide or eliminate frown lines on the forehead. I am here to tell you that there is something else. So simple in principle that you may find it unbelievable. I have been using a product called Frownies since 2001. Good Houskeeping magazine published an interview in September 2001 with the gorgeous Renee Russo. She talks about a product she slept with on her face every night to eliminate wrinkles. The interviewer wrote the name down as frown ease & the magazine was hounded with inquiries. Turns out the product, called Frownies, has been around since 1889, yes 1889. Simple premise: keep the facial muscles from plumping up from movement & the wrinkles will smooth. (Same premise as botox but without the pain, cost & ick factor.) Well, being a curious beauty product aficionado even back then, I found a local store & the love affair began. The Frownies consist of kraft paper pieces with an adhesive backing. Moisten the glue & press in place on the forehead. (they make cutouts for other areas of the face too.) Simple idea, really. And they really work!
I was showing those wrinkles way back then & I have managed to improve the look of my wrinkles ever since. Yes, we still need the right moisturizers, but this is a small addition to the bedtime routine, with BIG results. It may take your family members a little getting used to. (really – seeing you with paper on your face could be a stretch for them) I have a feeling any daughters in your life will get it, though! They are inexpensive, I purchase mine at Whole Foods for $16.99. I also reuse them. Just peel off without moistening & reuse again. I can usually get three uses out of them.
Below is the link to the products & website. There are testimonials, including Rachel Welch. I mean her skin is beautiful & she has never ‘looked’ like she had work done. There really is something to this, girls!

This is Marypause50 now 63 and still using Frownies! Still love them. Amazing how they work. My 11 lines don’t stand a chance. I don’t mind wise wrinkles when I smile, so earned, but at rest my face prefers smooth! 🥰 The price is about 24.99 in 2025. So worth it!
