I think just regular tape is not the best because the actual "frownie" gets really stiff once it dries up on your face. In order to sort of pull the fold/bend out of your skin for the 3 hrs it is to be applied. In other words it dries hard. Just regular surgical tape would be to pliable and hence defeat the purpose!

I use clear "Surgical" tape (you can get at the drugstore) - and use a square and another one -This has the added benefit of being able to wear when driving a car & no one will notice.

As I understand it, Frownies and Wrinkies are simply paper strips which help "re-educate" the face by making it uncomfortable to scrunch up the skin in a frown or furrow. The paper reminds you to relax your expressions which produce the wrinkles. Try plain old Scotch tape!

How Do I Make Frownies?

Does anyone know how to make home made "Frownies"? I read that they are either look like kraft paper or really are made from kraft paper.
