Women are ready to give a lot to keep their beauty and attractiveness. Sometimes they have to go under the knife of a plastic surgeon for this and spend a lot of money on expensive cosmetic procedures. However, after the effort expended, a woman is not always satisfied with the result, especially when it comes to mimic wrinkles. They can appear even at a very young age, if the girl is overly emotional and often grimaces. Previously, many of the fair sex saw the only way to get rid of hated wrinkles on the face - a Botox injection, which, however, could cause an unforeseen result. But recently, a completely new product has appeared on the Russian market that allows you to reduce age-related changes on the face - a patch for wrinkles. This tool caused a lot of questions from consumers, so we decided to dedicate this article to it.

Flownies Patches: Creation
Like many other ingenious inventions, the Flownies band-aid appeared quite by accident. It was invented by a woman - Margaret Crossen - about a century ago. The fact is that Margaret did not like the fact that her daughter, who plays the piano professionally, constantly frowned, trying to concentrate on the performance of the compositions. She began to think abouthow to save a girl from premature wrinkles that could spoil her pretty face. At some point, she came up with the idea of putting duct tape on her forehead to allow her muscles to relax. This is how the forehead wrinkle patch was born.
Reviews about this tool instantly scattered throughout Hollywood and brought Margaret not only fame, but also decent money. Over time, she became the owner of a large company that still manufactures this product.
Description and application of Flownies
Flownies Forehead Wrinkle Patch is in great demand on the market. Most often, it is with him that women begin to get acquainted with this remedy. Therefore, we also decided to describe it.
A patch made of kraft paper is sold in a pack of several pieces, located on one long tape. Separate the required number of pieces before use. In order for the effect to be more significant, the skin of the face is cleansed with any cosmetic product and a regular moisturizer is applied on it with a thin layer. Beauticians recommend a light facial massage to improve blood circulation and promote faster absorption of the cream.
After all the manipulations done, lightly moisten the patch with water and stick it on the straightened skin. For better fixation, press the glued piece with a cotton swab or fingers.
Effect and reviews of the Flownies patch
The manufacturer recommends using the patch for at least three hours, it is better to leavehim for the night. In the presence of deep facial wrinkles, you can stick a few pieces of the product on nearby areas of the skin of the face. The patch must be used in a course every day for a month. For prevention, two to three times a week will be enough.
What effect can be expected from this unusual remedy? Women who use it claim that it completely eliminates only mimic wrinkles that appear in one course. They become less noticeable, and then completely disappear. However, you are unlikely to be able to get rid of deep folds for good, although they become less pronounced. This effect is especially noticeable the next morning after removing the patch. Many ladies claim that, looking in the mirror, they felt that they were ten years younger. And that is exactly what they wanted to achieve.
