Frownies Review and Giveaway

Pull up a chair, I have to tell you about what is quite possibly my best find ever! The folks at B&P Company, makers of Frownies, sent us their Facelift in a Bag to see what I thought of their products. The company has been making the anti-aging facial pads known as Frownies for 122 years and throughout its heritage has been led by four generations of women ~ I LOVE this story!

I remembered several years ago watching a talk show and the host asked guest Rene Russo what was her secret to her youthful skin. She said "Frownies". I hadn't heard of them and at the time wrinkles weren't a concern, but at 51 times have changed and my wrinkles have become really bothersome.

Facelift in a Bag is packed with the company's best-sellers  including ~ 

pH Balance Complexion Wash 4 oz. $12.95 ~ A gentle cleanser with a nice sudsy lather.

Immune Perfect Wrinkle Cream ~ This is a gel cream moisturizer. I tried this after having an allergic reaction to something I ate. The skin around my mouth was dry, itchy and red and every product I had tried soothed it temporarily but it started flaking again moments later. Immune Perfect Wrinkle Cream calmed it instantly, left it hydrated and the irritation was completely healed in 24 hours. I also used it early morning and it did a very good job at smoothing out lines and "sleep creases". The 29.5 ml tube retails for $37.95.

Rose Water Hydrator Spray ~ I used this product as directed to keep the Eye Gels hydrated when stored for repeat use. It can also be used as a toner after cleansing. It has a lovely light rose scent. A 2-oz. tube retails for $11.95.

Forehead and Between Eyes Facial Patches ~ These are perforated pieces of Kraft paper in geometric shapes with a vegetable starch-based adhesive backing and are the original Frownies first made in 1889! These were super easy to use, simply smooth out skin and apply moistened patches to skin making sure to cover line entirely.  According to the product info, lines in their early stages will be gone in three nights, deeper wrinkles usually take 30 days. Once the lines are gone, discontinue until the lines reappear. The patch works by holding the skin down preventing frowning or expression. By allowing the muscle to relax and lay flat while sleeping, the body can reverse muscle memory. I wore these overnight along with the...

Corners of Eyes & Mouth Patches ~ Some of my forehead lines are deep so I wasn't expecting immediate results from the patches, but they did lessen in just one night. Each product includes 144 patches and retails for $19.95 per box ~ a great price considering how effective they are. Both items come with a money-back guarantee. I do not know why anyone would choose botox, line fillers or laser peels when these products are available. The only reason I can think of is they are a well-kept secret in Hollywood and not necessarily a household name...I am going to do my part to change that!

Eye Gels ~ These are cooling gel pads that stay in place even when exercising! Leave on for 30 minutes, then replace in tray, spritz with Rose Water Hydrator Spray and refrigerate to reuse. I first tried these under my eyes, I have dark circles, puffiness, and lines. After removing, my eye area felt incredibly refreshed. The skin was dramatically smoother, so much so I could see where the pads had been placed! The following day I applied them to my checks atop the smile lines as well as under my eyes and had the same results. I don't think there has ever been a product that has blown me away as much as this one! Nor have I seen such dramatic results from a wrinkle treatment in just 30 minutes from a product that makes my skin feel so wonderful. The instructions advise using three days in a row at first, then once a week. I cannot say enough about this product. If you are bothered by lines and wrinkles, give these a try, I'm confident you will not be disappointed. Each box includes 3 sets of reusable pads, retail price is $29.95.

Also included is a sample of Immune Shield Serum, a sample of Gentle Lift and a clear plastic Travel Bag. Facelift in a Bag retails for $117.
