Shop the New Face Wrap, More Skims Favorites, and Face-Shaping Alternatives
Coming on the heels of the End of Season Sale, Skims just released its first-ever product for the face: the Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap, which just might break the internet.
Crafted out of the same fabric blend as Skims’ bestselling, viral bodysuits, the $48 innovation comes in two shades: the light Clay and the darker Cocoa. Providing a strong compression level akin to top Skims shapewear like the Seamless Sculpt Mid Thigh Short and the Hosiery Shaping Tights, it’s meant to lift the skin around your jaw and outer cheekbones — with the ultimate goal of alleviating signs of sagging, creating a more contoured face shape, and reducing inflammation-slash-bloating.
The hot-ticket item boasts collagen yarns for ensuring your face-sculpting experience feels as soft as possible, and a comfortable fit is also guaranteed through Velcro closure at the top of the head and the nape of the neck. There are also two openings at the ears, so that you can hear through the grapevine about any upcoming Skims sales, of course.
Chin straps and face tape, which can be considered counterparts of the Skims Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap, have been making rounds on TikTok for some time now: powered by the popular “morning shed” trend that revolves around going to bed and waking up with a much healthier, glowy look (after taking off layers upon layers of lip masks, under-eye patches, and mouth tape). Scientific evidence supporting the long-term nature of these results is scanty at best, but many people do vouch for face-sculpting tools’ visible albeit short-term payoff. It’s also important to note that chin straps’ original intention is to serve as a vital part of post-op recovery from plastic surgery procedures like face lifts, since they’re able to cut down on swelling and promote the overall healing of skin tissue.
Whether or not you’ll notice your jaw becoming absolutely chiseled with Skims’ latest release is anyone’s guess, but one thing we’re certain of is that, like with all of the label’s trendy selections, wearing it will be a self-care journey of indulgence. We recommend putting on your new face wrap as you catch up on the latest episodes of hit TV shows like “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” cozied up on the couch in your Boyfriend Loose Boxer, Cotton Fleece Classic Hoodie, and Slouch Socks. Alternatively, wear it while doing chores around the house as you would a cordless LED mask.
Every news announcement and launch in the Skims universe — whether it be the NikeSkims partnership, the Roberto Cavalli capsule unveiled last month, or the addition of the Iconic Swim Convertible Bandeau Bikini Top to Skims’ top-selling Swim Shop — generates almost-instantaneous buzz in the zeitgeist, and it’s no different with the just-dropped Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap. Facing an “out of stock” notification on the beauty product already? We have you covered with the top three face mask and wrap alternatives to shop from reputable, editor-vetted brands.
Here’s to Kim K treating us to even more out-of-character Skims surprises this summer. Until then, we’ll be working on our jawline.
