The Things Women Will Do...for Beauty

[Missus Charles]

Hi there,
Of all the crazy beauty regiments women have endured over the years one that I find fascinating is the elastic Chinstrap over night. I am guessing it is intended to keep this area under the chin firm and taut but why did it go away? Is it effective? I know they are sold for medical purposes these days. Does anyone have any information on its use, effectiveness, or accuracy? Better yet.. does anyone use one?

The only time I see them used is when we do oragnothic surgery.
We call it a jaw bra and it gives support to the patient and helps hold ice packs in place.

Anyone ever used "Frownies" ?
They have been around since 1889,
I just cannot imagine going to bed at night with bits of sticky paper all over my face, and combine that look with hair curlers !!!!!!

It wasn't just gals who wore screwy face-gear to bed.

I'm suddenly reminded of that 'face bra' from Ally Mc Beal lol

Imagine the nightmares you would have if you slept beside that!

Yes, I have used them for a frown line between my eyes and they do work well and aren't uncomfortable at all.

I find velcro sleeper rollers horribly uncomfortable to lay down in, but I still do it although I am gravitating towards foam bendy rollers ^-^ xx

They work??? I must get some.

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

Ooh, I have a deepening frown line too...maybe they're worth a try!

I've used frownies and wrinkies, and they do work, but temporarily, as most things do. You have to keep it up. I actually like to use my OCM method, and I use jojoba for moisturizing, which has actually helped the most for making that frown crinkle go away. now if only I could get rid of the ones on the bridge of my nose! lol

This one always amused me

That's the one I'm talking about, the vertical frown wrinkle between the eyes. And yes, you have to keep up the use with the Frownies. I have also had luck with a wrinkle filler pin from CVS. It is called Skin Effects Wrinkle Effects Instant Deep Wrinkle Eraser.

Neck wrinkles!

Are the bane of my existence - I used to have a pretty neck, sigh. I'll have to try that filler!

SANITIZED TAPE WORMS?!

[Helen Troy]

So hey, the Frownies don't seem so bad all of a sudden. Great for single gals, but I can't see going to bed with the love of my life like that.

Exactly. I stopped using them when I got a boyfriend.
