Hi,

I read somewhere in the forum that surgical tape is used instead of frownies to prevent wrinkles during sleeping time. I found one tape which contains zinc. Do you think it is ok? Or it would be better to use the simple transparent scotch?

Thanks

The tape is suppose to be very easy on the skin. The Zinc is put in there because of its healing properties. Much like creams containing Zinc for baby bottoms.

The only concern might be if you are using Copper Peptides in the PM since Zinc and Copper compete for receptor sites.

Hi Max,
thanks for your answer.. no, I am not using cps in the PM, only Exfol cream and Emu oil. Instead of using that expensive frownies I found something that, somehow, is working and prevents bad wrinkles during the sleep.

Ciao!

Zinc can compete for copper.
