The Wrinkles Schminkles Silicone Forehead and Eye Smoothing Pads contain medical grade silicone pads for the forehead and under eyes, and claim to help slow down forehead lines and wrinkles, frown lines, wrinkles around and under the eyes and crows feet wrinkles can be caused by ageing, sun damage, facial expressions and sleeping facedown or on your side. The pads may not be able to remove your lines and wrinkles, but they will help soften them, so you'll wake up looking more refreshed.
The Wrinkles Schminkles Forehead and Eye Smoothing Pads are applied to clean skin, that is also free from moisturiser, before going to bed at night so they can do their magic while you sleep.
The silicone pads stick to the skin with adhesive silicone, and the pad keeps the skin in place so the skin basically cannot crease up and cause wrinkles to form! In addition, silicone naturally creates moisture in the skin to plump out and soften existing wrinkles. It also helps to stimulate collagen that among others help prevent and reduce scarring.
The pads do take a few moment to apply, or at least until you get used to them, but still they are fairly simple to apply. Once on the skin, they do feel a little cool until they've warmed to the temperature of your skin, but hereafter you'd hardly know they are there. I had worried that especially the under eye pads would feel a little strange.
When you wake in the morning you simply peel it off the skin and put it back onto its plastic sheet, and the next night you use it again, and again, and again… they are said to start to lose their adhesiveness after 20-30 uses, but if you use the special Wrinkles Schminkles Cleaning Solution you bring back the adhesiveness and continue to reuse them over and over again!
So how did they fare... Well, after the very first use, when I woke in the morning, I felt that my especially the area around my eyes in general looked more relaxed and fresher than usual, and the area looking plump and moisturised too, and that in fact of not applying my usual arsenal of serums, eye creams and moisturisers to those areas. Again, wrinkles and lines were still there, but nothing but a dramatic face lift would erase them from my face, but overall my skin really does look more refreshed and younger, which is impressive.
So all in all I am quite impressed with these Wrinkles Schminkles Forehead and Eye Wrinkle Pads and would certainly consider getting my hands on the Wrinkles Schminkles Cleaning Solution so I can continue to use the pad over and over again, as well as check out the rest of the products in the Wrinkles Schminkles range.
