    I Wore the Skims Face Wrap for a Weekend—Here’s What Happened

    So, to reap its full benefits, I tried the Wrap out post-skincare routine, wearing it through a variety of chores that get the lymphatic system going: walking the dog, watering the plants, and reading a book. The first thing I noticed was that my face flushed more quickly than normal, going a deep red all over. The second thing I noticed? Wearing for an hour resulted in an oh-so-subtle slimming effect in the bottom half of my face, akin to a tiny amount of my ample buccal fat being removed.

    “Like a corset or compression stocking, the wrap may offer a very temporary cosmetic effect—if any,” says cosmetic dermatologist Kseniya Kobets, MD.

    Yet dermatologist Dev Patel, MD, has warned that wearing “tight, non-breathable fabrics” can be harmful to the skin, trapping “sweat, oil, and bacteria.” “This increases the risk of breakouts, clogged pores, and irritation, particularly for acne-prone or sensitive skin types,” Dr. Patel adds.

    So, what’s the final word from experts?

    “For general use, I don’t recommend relying on the garment without a full understanding of what the body needs,” says Lanini. “Supporting the lymphatic system requires a broader approach: hydration, movement, breathing, and manual techniques.” Apparently, no wrapping required.
