Description

Did you know one of the oldest beauty hacks we're still using today was actually invented back in 1889? That's right—long before face tape or silicone patches hit Instagram, Margaret, a forward-thinking grandmother, created what we now know as Frownies.

Today, I have the absolute pleasure of sitting down with her great-great-granddaughter Helen, now the President and CEO of Frownies. What a delight it was to have her on the show—I have to say, I've been so impressed with this company's heart. Their customer service is outstanding, and it truly feels like a family-owned brand with amazing values.

In this episode, we're diving into the incredible history behind this 135-year-old brand, why Frownies are different from other patches on the market, and exactly how to use them for the best wrinkle-smoothing, skin-sculpting results. We'll cover everything from what's in the adhesive and how to apply them so they stay put all night, to when you should start using them and whether your skincare can sneak underneath.

Plus—you are not going to want to miss Helen's castor oil and sleep tip. Trust me, it's one you'll want to try tonight. Let's step right into the episode with Helen, the CEO of Frownies.

Let's dive in.

 

XX, Lindsey
