I Was Wasting Time (and Money) Until I Did This — My Skin Has Never Been Better

PSA for anyone who feels overwhelmed by skincare: For the longest time, I thought I needed an elaborate routine with 10+ steps to actually see results. But after way too much trial and error (and a lot of frustration), I realized the biggest change came from going back to basics. Now I just focus on: Daily sunscreen ☀️ A gentle retinol ✨ A solid moisturizer 💧 That’s it. Keeping my routine simple and consistent cleared up so many of the issues I used to stress about. Sometimes, less really is more when it comes to skincare. Just wanted to share this reminder in case anyone else needed to hear it! What’s the ONE thing that made the biggest difference in your skin? Would love to hear everyone's holy grail tips! 🧴💬 #SkinCareSimplified #LessIsMore #SkincareJourney #BackToBasics #GlowingSkinSecrets #SkinCareRoutine #SimpleAndEffective

Frownies Smell Like the Underworld — How Do You All Tolerate This?! 😂

Alright y’all, I (33F) finally gave in and tried Frownies to help with my faint forehead lines and 11s between Botox appointments. And let me tell you... I was not prepared. First of all, the smell. Everyone said they smell like postage stamps or envelope glue — and honestly, I envy you. To me, it was like soggy papier-mâché dredged straight from the depths of the underworld. Even Hades himself would be questioning the stench. 😵‍💫 Slapping them onto my forehead felt like pressing wet, cursed paper to my skin. The smell didn’t really dissipate once they dried, and yes, I even woke up in the middle of the night still smelling them. Removing them? Nightmare part two — rewetting them reactivated the entire olfactory horror show. 😂 To make matters even more chaotic, my dogs were obsessed with them. They woke me up early with their faces in mine, trying to lick the Frownies off like they’d found forbidden treasure. One of them even went full detective mode — counter-surfing (which she never does!) just to try to sniff them out. The upside: I do think they helped a little with my 11s. I’m going to try again tonight with rose water spray instead of plain water and maybe add a few more patches for my forehead. But if I can’t survive another night glued to these smelly things, I might have to try Smoothies like some of you recommended. (P.S. I’m allergic to silicone and sensitive to adhesives — even KT tape gives me a rash — so any non-silicone suggestions are very welcome!! 💜) Serious question though: HOW do you all tolerate the smell?! Is there a version that doesn’t stink this bad?? I’m super sensitive to scents and these are roughhh 🤢 #FrowniesExperience #WrinklePatchStruggles #BeautyFails #RealLifeBeauty #SkinCareJourney #PostBotoxCare #SensitiveSkinProblems #DogsVsFrownies
