It's tox-in-a-box!

What a concept. Since 1889, Frownies and Wrinkies have been "the secret
of many a smooth, tranquil brow and Hollywood beauty" or at least that's
what they want you to think.

Someone threw these into my birthday gag gift and it brought back memories of my mother. She used to use Frownies religiously and I clearly remember her getting the adhesive stuck to her skin. She was like human flypaper and attracted every gnat for miles.

Wrinkies and Frownies work by training your muscles to relax and if you use them every night, they promise smoothing results in just two weeks.

In my circle, we call it gluing your face down.

Still, at $19.95 for all of those areas, it's a steal!
