Anti-Wrinkle Neck and Chest Pads

How do the chest and neck pads work?
The silicone pads stretch your skin gently and improve the collagen structure to reduce wrinkles and visible signs of aging. They prevent wrinkles from forming deeper lines and improve blood flow to bring a radiant, youthful glow to your skin!

Can I use these with moisturizers or lotions?
The pads should only be applied to clean, dry skin with no products—avoid using with lotions, creams, or perfumes.

My pad isn’t sticking anymore...what should I do?
We recommend washing after every 2-3 uses with a mild, unscented soap to preserve the adhesive nature of the product. After 10-20 uses, the product will no longer adhere to the skin. When that happens, it’s time to discard and replace the pad.

How many uses will I get out of the pads?
The pads will be good for 10-20 uses. Results vary based on your skin. Please be sure to clean your skin with oil-free products before usage.
