FROWNIES – THE STICK-ON PATCHES TO RELAX YOUR WRINKLES

I KNOW staying serene is easier said than done, but this works. In the mirror, frown at yourself, then relax your forehead and your eyebrows, and observe the difference. Breathe in, breathe out and stay relaxed. With a bit of practice, you can do this in real life.

One way is to use stick-on face patches known as Frownies ( frownies. co.uk), which you pop onto your face when it is relaxed. (You can even use sticky tape, though that isn’t so kind to your skin when you take it off.) Then, as soon as you start to scrunch up your face or frown, and the patch tugs at your skin, you become aware of your facial movements. Using these patches won’t get rid of your wrinkles, but it’s a good way of getting out of the frowning habit.
