Why Wrinkles Happen & How to Support Your Skin Naturally

One day you glance in the mirror and notice a faint line on your forehead… or those tiny creases around your eyes. At first, you think it’s the lighting. Then you see them the next day. And the day after.

Wrinkles don’t appear overnight—they’re the result of hundreds of little moments: squinting in bright sunlight, staying up late, furrowing your brow in concentration, skimping on water, or simply smiling (which, by the way, you should absolutely keep doing).

They’re a natural part of life—but you have more influence over how your skin looks and feels than you might think. And you can take a gentle, non-invasive approach that works with your skin, not against it.

Let’s break down why wrinkles appear, how to slow them down, and how a legacy brand has been helping people support smoother-looking skin for over a century.

Why Wrinkles Appear

Wrinkles form for two main reasons:

Intrinsic aging – Your skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin over time, so it gradually loses firmness and elasticity.

Extrinsic aging – Everyday factors like UV exposure, pollution, dehydration, diet, stress, repetitive facial expressions, facial tension, and even how you sleep can speed up visible changes.

Because skin becomes less elastic with age, it tends to crease more where it folds repeatedly—like your forehead, between your eyebrows, and around your eyes and mouth.

Why “Natural” Wrinkle Support Is Trending Again

With so many high-tech treatments and hard-to-pronounce creams on the market, it’s easy to forget that your skin already knows how to protect and repair itself. It just needs the right support.

A natural approach focuses on:

  • Supporting collagen production with skin-friendly nutrients
  • Keeping skin hydrated from the inside out
  • Using gentle, consistent care to enjoy smoother-looking skin
  • Avoiding unnecessary irritants
  • Relaxing facial tension that can lead to wrinkles and sagging

It’s a mix of smart skincare, healthy habits, and time-tested solutions—and one company has been doing this since 1889.

Meet Frownies: A Simple Solution with Staying Power

Long before “anti-aging” was a buzzword, Frownies was created with one simple idea: if repeated facial movements contribute to the look of expression lines, why not gently hold the skin smooth at night so it can rest relaxed and undisturbed?

Since 1889, Frownies Facial Patches have been a quiet favorite among Hollywood starlets, skincare professionals, and everyday women and men who prefer a natural, consistent approach.

The design has stood the test of time—because it works with your skin, not against it.

Frownies Facial Patches

Made from a natural, skin-friendly paper and a water-activated adhesive, Frownies Facial Patches are applied to areas where expression lines are most common—like the forehead and between the eyebrows.

Overnight, the Frownies help hold the skin smooth, giving it a break from repeated movement. Many customers notice a smoother look in the morning and softer, less pronounced lines with consistent use over time.

No injectables. No downtime. Just a nightly ritual that supports your skin’s own processes.

The Starter Kit: Your First Step

If you’re new to the Frownies routine, the Starter Kit has everything you need to try it for yourself. It’s a simple, streamlined way to begin a nightly ritual that’s gentle, purposeful, and easy to stick with.

Frownies proves that simple, consistent routines can make a real difference over time.

Everyday Skin-Supporting Habits

Pairing Frownies with healthy daily habits can help you get the best results:

  1. Hydrate – Water, herbal tea, and water-rich foods (like cucumber or melon) help keep skin plump and comfortable.
  2. Eat for Skin Health – Omega-3s, vitamin C, and antioxidant-rich foods can help support your skin from the inside.
  3. Sun Protection – Broad-spectrum SPF is your skin’s best daily defense.
  4. Sleep Smart – Back-sleeping and a silk pillowcase can reduce friction.
  5. Manage Stress – Find ways to unwind and keep cortisol in check.
  6. Move Daily – Exercise boosts circulation, which benefits skin’s appearance.

Why Consistency Wins

No single step will transform your skin overnight. Visible results come from small, consistent choices—night after night, week after week.

With Frownies, the changes happen gradually over time—so much so that friends might start asking what you’ve been doing differently.

Aging on Your Terms

Aging isn’t something to fight—it’s something to approach with care and intention. Natural wrinkle support is about feeling good in your skin and knowing you’re caring for it in a way that’s sustainable.

With over 130 years of proven use, Frownies offers more than a product—it offers peace of mind, a nightly ritual, and a legacy of simple, natural care.The best time to start was yesterday. The second-best time is today. Whether you’re just noticing fine lines or you’re ready to create a gentle routine that supports your skin for years to come, Frownies can be part of your story.
