Patches Not Sticking? Here's the Fix.

We get it - nothing’s more annoying than a wrinkle patch that just won’t stay put. But don’t worry, it’s not you, it’s the technique (and we’ve got the tips to make your patches last longer than your ex did 😘).

If you’re looking to get the most out of your Wrinkles Schminkles patches - up to 20 wears per pack - this blog is your go-to cheat sheet. Think of it as the ultimate guide to making sure your patches stick (literally), stay clean, and work their wrinkle-fighting magic like pros.

Your Perfect Patch Protocol

🧼 Before You Patch

Let’s start with the prep work. A solid patch application begins before you even open the packet. Follow these two simple steps to get skin that's ready to smooth & stay put.

✨ Tip 1: Cleanse Your Skin

Your patches need a clean, dry surface to stick properly - not a face full of moisturiser. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any oils or makeup, then pat it completely dry. Avoid serums, oils, or moisturisers right before patching - they’ll interfere with the patches’ adhesion and ruin their ability to stick.

💡 Pro Tip: Patch right after cleansing at night for best results. Think of it as sealing in your skin’s goodness while you sleep.

✂️ Tip 2: Peel Off the Protective Layer

Don’t forget the most important step - peel before you patch! Each patch comes with a protective layer that needs to be removed before use.

Peel it gently from one edge and avoid touching the sticky side too much to ensure it stays clean and the adhesive stays intact.

Now you’re ready to Patch like a pro!

💧After You Patch

Used your patch overnight or during your Zoom meeting? Great. Now here’s how to make it last (again and again… and again).

🧽 Tip 3: Wash Your Patches (The Right Way)

You should wash your patches after every use to remove skin oils and dust. But not just with any cleanser - harsh soaps or facial cleansers can ruin the patches’ adhesive.

👉 Use lukewarm water or our specially formulated Silicone Patch Cleanser to keep that sticky layer in top condition.

📦 Tip 4: Store on the Storage Sheet

Once your patch is clean and dry, pop it face down onto the original storage sheet. Then slide it back into the packet to keep it protected and dust-free.

🧴 The Cleanser That Keeps Things Sticky (In a Good Way)

Now you’re armed with all the keep-them-sticky skills, your patches will stick around for the long haul.
