Everyone seems to be searching for the fountain of youth — whether in the form of collagen supplements, loads of SPF, silk pillowcases, trendy topical serums or obscure products and rituals. While there isn't a way to turn back the clock, there are ways to age more gracefully, which include eating plenty of fruits and veggies, exercising regularly, wearing a hat on sunny days and moisturizing daily — of course, some methods are more effective than others.

The default response to aging these days seems to be Botox, but there are a few issues at play. First, Botox treatments are very expensive, ranging from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. Second, they require constant upkeep — we're talking fresh pokes every three to six months if you want to maintain a wrinkle-free complexion. Third, according to the Mayo Clinic, the muscle-freezing toxin in Botox can cause headaches, flu-like symptoms, bruising at the injection site and drooping eyelids — among other things. Not what we want!

Glow From the Inside Out With This Top-Rated Collagen Peptide Powder

If you're looking for a way to safely and sustainably smooth out those smile marks on your face and neck without the cost, commitment and side effects of Botox, these non-invasive wrinkle patches may become your new best friends. The skin naturally loses moisture and elasticity with age, therefore creating wrinkles and fine lines. The patches create a microclimate on your skin that retains moisture while keeping pollutants out, smoothing skin after just one "session." They also increase blood flow which helps to rejuvenate, brighten and tighten.

To incorporate these pads into your routine, simply cleanse and dry your skin as usual, position the patch on the desired area, flatten it and leave it on for an hour.

As you can probably tell, you don't have to alter your skincare routine in the slightest to reap the benefits — just add these at the end and watch the magic happen!
