Do Silicone Patches Really Work?

My favorite thing about sharing skincare posts with you is getting to share the chemistry behind why it does or doesn’t work! Chemistry is truly the key to everything 

A new trend in skincare is using silicone patches on your wrinkles to make them disappear.

The ingredients of these patches are simply silicone. No harsh chemicals are actually on the pads. This might seem a little strange that this could erase wrinkles.

These patches are basically a sticky, rubbery texture. You place them in the desired area then allow them to remain in place overnight. 

Silicone on the skin creates the perfect environment for moisture. No air can get to the area with the silicone pads, so it draws moisture to the surface of skin and stays there.

It doesn’t just bring moisture to the skin, it also increases blood flow. Increased blood flow is so important for your skin and helps collagen production. Collagen production is the key to combating wrinkles.

So, the chemistry is there. It is a very simple method for fighting wrinkles.

All of the patches are good for 15 uses (although you can really stretch this number),
