Frownies Origin
- Helen Morrison's great-great-grandmother, Margaret Crozen, and her daughter, Alice, invented Frownies.
- Alice, a concert pianist and model, developed Frownies to address wrinkles caused by facial expressions.
How Frownies Work
- Frownies retrain facial muscles by holding them relaxed, similar to Botox.
- Think of Frownies as an isometric exercise for your face, like holding a plank.
Frownies Materials
- Frownies are made of unbleached craft paper with a starch-based adhesive, a formula unchanged since its inception.
- This makes them biodegradable, compostable, and breathable, unlike silicone patches that can clog pores.
