The Anti-Wrinkle Tape Trick (+ 2 more at-home DIYs)

Hi {NAME}, A lot of us are trying to seriously conserve supplies lately (my household included). And as you know, many of my favorite DIYs are food-based… but if you’re concerned about supplies, you might want to save your food for eating. :) That’s why I decided to compile 3 of my favorite NON-FOOD skincare DIYs for today’s newsletter. All of these are done with items you probably already own (no extra trips necessary!)... plus, they’re really fun. Here they are! The Skin-Stimulating “Dry Scrub” After washing & drying your face — but before applying products — simply take a soft, dry washcloth, and buff it over your skin in small, gentle circles. Continue for about a minute — skin should become rosy but not irritated. This technique not only exfoliates skin, but also brings healthy blood flow to its surface. That means more oxygen reaching skin cells (for a healthy glow), AND better absorption of your skincare products. The Anti-Wrinkle Tape Trick Before bed, wash & dry skin thoroughly. Then, apply a piece of tape (yep, plain old tape!) to any deep wrinkle you’d like to temporarily smooth out. Remove tape in the morning. The wrinkle should appear much more shallow for several hours. NOTE: Because adhesives can be irritating to some skin types, I strongly recommend a patch test on the inside of your arm before you try this on your face. I also only recommend doing this once a week maximum — this trick works in a pinch, but is not a long-term solution, especially for sensitive areas like around the eyes. For more lasting results around the eyes, I recommend [THIS wrinkle-fading technique]( (my Botox patients have been loving it while they’re in between treatments.) The Moisture Double-Up Being indoors all day with stagnant air and little activity, can take a SERIOUS toll on skin’s hydration levels and brightness. That’s why I recommend doubling the amount of product you use during your nighttime skincare application. (I specifically say nighttime because, if your skin needs more time to fully absorb the extra product, no big deal.) Then, be sure to cleanse — or at least rinse — your skin off in the morning before re-applying product. Okay, those are all my “non-food DIY” tips for today… Try one (or all) of them and write in to tell me which one worked best for you! And remember, these aren’t just useful during social isolation. If you find a technique you love, keep doing it! You may be surprised how many years you can take off your look over time. :) Your Beverly Hills MD, Dr. Payman Danielpour P.S.
