Bootleg Bougie – Vol. 1The $2 Facelift: Why Moleskin Beats Frownies Every Time

Spa chicken!

Let’s face it, those little Frownies that promise to iron out your wrinkles overnight are basically overpriced stickers with a superiority complex.  Enter: moleskin.  Not the fancy notebook, darling.  The pharmacy aisle hero.  The stuff meant for blistered heels and hiking feet?  Yeah.  That.

✨ Here’s why it works:

Sticks like a loyal friend.  No water activation required.  Just cut and stick.

Gentler on skin.  Designed for delicate areas = no red marks when you peel it off!

A fraction of the cost.  Frownies can run $20+ a box.  A roll of moleskin?  Two bucks.  Maybe three if you’re feeling luxurious. (You know your girl though, so I get mine at Dollar Tree for $1.25 😉)


💁‍♀️ How to use it:

1. Clean your skin, no oils, no lotions.

2. Cut small strips of moleskin to cover those forehead lines, 11s (middle of your brow), or mouth creases.

3. Stick ’em down and sleep like the smooth-skinned goddess you are.

4. Peel off in the morning and admire your magic!

🧼 Bonus tip: Dab a little rosewater or witch hazel after removal to tighten things up and keep inflammation at bay.
