After having seen the Sio Beauty anti-wrinkle pads on Instagram for months, I finally bit the bullet and ordered the chest pad about a month ago. Having been pretty flat-chested my entire life, I have recently noticed wrinkles forming in the décolletage area of my chest since becoming pregnant and wanted to do something about it. What is that saying? That your neck, chest and hands are more likely to give away your age than your face – and I think that is probably 100% true! We spend so much time and energy trying to make sure our faces look great that we neglect other areas on our body that often need help in the aging department too. I wanted to try and nip these wrinkles in the bud before the lines became deep and set in place for forever.
WHAT IT IS: A silicone pad that is worn overnight to prevent the formation of wrinkles. Doctors have previously recommended similar pads to be worn for the purpose of healing scars and burns. To quote Sio Beauty: “When medical grade silicone is placed on the skin, it creates a micro-climate between the skin and the silicone. This unique environment helps the skin heal itself as two things happen. First, moisture is drawn up from skin’s lower layers to the outside layers, allowing the skin to plump, fill in and smooth itself. Second, the production of collagen, the protein that holds the skin together, is activated and normalized. The result is the diminished appearance of wrinkles.”
WHAT’S INCLUDED: 1 SiO SkinPad (15 uses per pad)
PRICE: $29.95 for 1 pad
MY REVIEW: Like I said, I had been wanting to try this chest pad for ages, but didn’t have a real need until recently when I started seeing lines forming after long nights of rest {I blame hormones and major pregnancy boobs! ;)} The instructions say to cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying, so I waited until right after I showered to use. It was super easy to apply and although it felt a little odd at first, I got used to it pretty quickly. I was a little worried how it would feel once I laid down on my side though – as I mentioned before, I’m pregnant so side sleeping is my only option! Honestly, it wasn’t that bad either. The silicone makes the pad pretty comfortable and I didn’t feel like it was peeling off or coming unstuck at all which was good. Waking up, I definitely noticed a difference – my skin was wrinkle free where there were normally lines.
Overall, I liked this product, and I would use again but probably only the night before a shoot, or a big event. Otherwise, it is $2 per wear, and you would need to spend $60 a month to be able to wear one every night and I just don’t think that it the best long-term solution. I think I will apply my serums and creams to my décolletée and hope that that works in between Sio pad uses!
