I wasn't too sure how it would be as I have purchased a mitt from another company which I didn't like. Skin Mitt was amazing....so happy I bought it and now use once a week.
FAQ
ABOUT THE COMPANY
What are Skinz Patches?
Skinz Patches a revolutionary line of medical-grade solutions for combatting any unwanted signs of aging. Our reusable medical-grade silicone patches smooth, plump and prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Designed to apply easily and adhere imperceptibly on wrinkle-prone zones, the patches firm, plump and erase telltale signs of aging while you sleep.
Why was Skinz created?
Our founder created Skinz because she couldn't find a product that reduced the wrinkles and crepey skin that developed on her décolleté in her late 20s. Once she discovered the solution she wanted to help other women look and feel their best.
ABOUT THE PATCHES
Is the product safe?
Yes. All of our products are dermatologist approved and allergy tested. Skinz patches are made of medical-grade silicone, which has been used by doctors and surgeons for its healing properties for over 30 years. The adhesive we use has been cleared by the FDA for use as a component of medical devices, so it is one of the safest out there. However, if you are allergic to silicone or get irritated from adhesives such as band-aids, please refrain from using our patches or consult a medical professional.
Are Skinz a permanent solution to wrinkles?
When using the Skinz smoothing Patches you’ll notice visible improvement on your skin even after only one use, but over time you will notice heightened levels of hydration in your skin due to the occlusion of the patch, which will give skin a plump and healthy look. The patches are something that require frequent use if you are looking to smooth out deeper wrinkles or expression lines. While applied, the flattening effect of the patch also helps keeps the skin in it's place and prevents wrinkles from forming.
How do the Skinz Patches work?
When silicone is placed on skin, a micro-climate environment is created between the skin and the silicone. It is this very unique environment that helps skin heal itself. Moisture is drawn up from lower skin layers to the outside layers, causing the skin to plump, fill in and smooth itself.
Are Skinzs cruelty free?
Yes, Skinz do not test on animals.
Do Skinz Patches expire?
Our Patches expire after 3 years from once opened.
Can this product be used while pregnant?
We have many expectant mothers who cannot use injectables, retinols, or intensive acids for aging correction during their term, so they turn to Skinz. Most of them however, make the switch, and then never go back given the price difference and amazing instantaneous results. We do recommend that if you have a history of skin irritation, have not used the patches before, and are unsure of how your skin will react, that you check with your doctor prior to use.
Are these just any any other mask on the market?
No, these are not a one and done sheet mask! By following instructions and caring for the patches correctly, the patches are reusable! Designed to feel like skin and move with your body during sleep or daytime wear, medical-grade silicone provides a mess-free, corrective dose of hydration that plumps lines and reduces uneven skin texture. Our patent-pending décolleté patch has a tapered 3-D design that can be used cumulatively for over two weeks’ time, and with our other shape collections, you can apply the patches as needed and can get over a week of wear with proper patch care. Please remember, that daytime use can also contribute to patch reusability. If you find that you are having trouble keeping on the patch during sleep – try using for a few hours before bed or upon waking up in the morning. Skinz no-mess patch technology is completely different from any wrinkle-fighting product out in the market, and after application you can expect immediate results that nothing else can provide.
What about the rest of my skincare routine?
Remember to always wear the patches on clean, dry skin, free from any product, but we promise, you don't have to leave your skincare regimen behind! At night, use your favorite products on the exposed skin around the patches. In the morning, store your patches on the provided storage shield, apply a serum, and use any of your other skincare favorites!
Who can use the patches?
Our customers and fans have a wide age range. Our products can be used as a line of defense against the signs of aging. They help to prevent the appearance of wrinkles, but are also effective at improving the appearance of deeper wrinkles, especially over time.
PATCH USAGE
How do I apply the patches?
Our patches should be applied to clean, dry skin in the area specified on the pack. If we don't offer the exact shape you need you can always cut the patches to fit the exact area you need it for.
How do I know if I need new patches?
Our patches are reusable with proper care. However, after the adhesive fully wears we recommend that you switch to a new patch both for cleanliness and superior adhesion.
How comfortable are the patches to sleep in?
Our patches were designed to look and feel like skin and to be extremely comfortable. In our clinical trials, 98% of women said that our patches were comfortable to sleep in.
Will the patches stay in place if I am a side sleeper or move around in my sleep?
Our patches were specifically designed to counteract the wrinkles that form in your sleep and comfortable adhere no matter how you sleep. If you happen to toss and turn in your sleep and the patch loses adhesion, simply lift the patch, let the area dry and re-apply.
What do I do if I sweat in my sleep?
If you sweat in your sleep and notice the patch isn't adhering, gently lift the patch and allow the area to air dry before reapplying. If you find the adhesion is affected, we recommend rinsing the patch under running water and allowing it to air dry completely before reapplying.
How do I keep my patches clean?
The best way to maximize the adhesion of your patch is to apply to cleansed, dry skin. Each morning after use, put your patch adhesive side down on the storage shield, and keep the storage shield in a place away from dust. To cleanse the patch rinse it with water and allow to completely dry before reapplying to skin or back onto the storage shield.
Why do I have to cleanse before applying the patches?
Our Patches create an intense microclimate of hydration on the skin. This has amazing smoothing and hydrating effects, but since you are trapping moisture into your skin, any natural oils or products can cause irritation. By cleansing you also keep the adhesive clear of any dead skin cells that may interfere with stickiness.
Can I use other products under the patches?
Prior to Patch application, we recommend washing the skin with an oil-free cleanser and ensuring the skin is completely clean of any moisturizing agents. It may also be beneficial to exfoliate the skin as dead skin cells can build up over time and can prevent optimal adhesion. We do not recommend using any product (particularly those with acids or oils!) under the patches as they may irritate the skin and will interfere with patch adhesion.
Do the patches work on any skin type?
Skinz are for women of all ages and skin types who are experiencing any form of wrinkles, crepey skin or sagging skin. Skinz are a wonderful beauty breakthrough for women of all skin types and ages.
What are the potential adverse reactions?
Upon removal of the patches in the morning, some women may notice a rosy glow to the skin – this is due to increase in hydration and blood flow in the skin and will usually dissipate within a few minutes. Due to the nature of our patches, they can affect those with allergies to adhesives or silicones. People with these allergies or sensitivities may experience slight redness or irritation, and should discontinue use until speaking with a doctor. If you are not sure if you have a sensitivity to these ingredients, test the patch on a small area of the skin before use. Do not use the patches on open wounds, infected areas or rashes.
What are the patches ingredients?
Our patches are made of 100% medical grade silicone made up of Dimethicone, Silica, Hydrogen Dimethicone, Stearic Acid.
Why are the patches packed this way?
We manufacture our Patches in a clean room environment, and the packaging is sealed to keep the product free of dust and debris. We also provide a plastic shield inside the packaging to store the patches and keep them clean.
Will the patches stretch my skin when I take them off?
The eye lift patches can be used on any area surrounding the eye to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Be careful when removing any patches around the delicate eye area. To gently remove from the skin, start removal from top of the patch near the brow bone while keeping the skin tought with the other hand, then, tap along the skin with one of your fingers, pushing the adhesive away until fully removed.
Why is there an uneven texture left behind from the patches?
If you are experiencing a "pock mark" looking surface underneath the patch (typically JUST occurs with the brow patch), this is completely normal for some skin types and is a very temporary effect. This reaction is called a perifollicular edema reaction (which looks like pock marks), but it is simply a reaction to skin that has been under occlusion (covered) for a prolonged period of time. The good news – it’s completely temporary. The forehead area [or any area that they experienced this in] has dense oil glands, so the accumulation of moisture and hydration from the patch technology results in some with this effect. This should not take away from the wrinkle reduction benefits of the patch, and as you continue to wear the patches, you will continue to work on the overall health of the skin in that area! Protecting you from dehydration, skin sagging, expression lines, and lines resulting from sleep patterns.
