I used a small (2 oz) spray bottle, filled it with water and a small amount of borax to saturate, about 1/4 to 1/2 of a teaspoon. I shook it up and lightly sprayed my face. It doesn't irritate the eyes though I'd use caution with the eye area. I'd also recommend removing makeup before doing this. I let my face dry and then sprayed again. (I did this about 5 times over the course of an hour or two. ) It's amazing! My whole face feels like it got a lift and it's only been 2 days!
I'm experimenting with my crows feet wrinkles using cotton balls soaked in the borax water. Will have to report on that later. I'm not 100% sure if this is permanent yet though it feels incredible :). I'll try to update in a few weeks. Good luck to all!

Stacey could you please tell me where can I buy borax from?Replied By Ingupo (Manchester, England) on 02/23/2012
One place definitely would be amazon.com (or amazon. Co. uk if you're from England).Replied By Ivonne (Frisco, Tx) on 02/26/2012
I had NEVER heard of it before... and SURPRISINGLY I have found it on the laundry detergent area in almost all of the grocery stores around.Replied By Gita (Ottawa, Ontario) on 03/15/2012
Stacey, I would really like to know how your experiment with Borax turned out. Did you find it to be a temporary measure or are you still using with positive results?Replied By Raniya (Syracuse, Ny) on 03/21/2012
Borax is found in the detergent aisle in grocery store and also wal and kmart but I didn't know they drank itReplied By Susan (Lancaster, Ohio) on 04/17/2012
Has anyone tried the borax wrinkle treatment and does it really work? I have heard and tried so many things that don't work so I need some feed back please.Replied By Citygirl27 (Richardson, Tx, Usa) on 06/13/2012
No worries. Borax is a mineral additive, and has no soap or fragrance in it. "Laundry' aisle is just how it is marketed, despite numerous (! ) other uses. Some of the newer boxes do have a "scented" version so watch out for that. Check ingredients for fragrance if unsure.Replied By Vreed27 (Edmonds, Wa) on 07/04/2012
Borax is relatively cheap at Walmart for just over $3.00.Replied By Jennifer (Eugene, Usa) on 10/25/2012
Are you sure that it is safe to use Borax Detergent on your face from the laundry isle? Laundry borax had detergent additives. You can get cosmetic grade borax( sodium Borate) from suppliers such as mountain rose herbs that do not have detergent additives and is specificly for use in cosmetics that will be on the skin. I use the cosmetic grade borax in lotions that I make and it isn't very expensive.Replied By Jami (Birmingham, Uk) on 01/07/2013
Any updates? YEA? Anybody? Does this work?Replied By Linda (York County, Southern Maine) on 01/07/2013
Hi Jami - I can say that I've sprayed the borax/water on my face but cannot say I saw dramatic results, and that's probably because I didn't do it five times! I did, however, feel a tightening of my skin.Replied By Kyrstn (Kent, Ohio) on 04/15/2013
I have been dabbing borax and water mixture on my forehead with cotton balls nightly 2-3 nights, 3-5 times every 3 weeks or so. I allow the mixture to dry and re-apply. I notice the face tightening up, but not permanently. I will continue to do this!Replied By Michael (Cal., US) on 10/23/2014
How'd those facial treatments ever go for ya? :)Replied By Maryanne (Sheguiadah, Ontario, Canada) on 11/29/2015
How did your borax wrinkle treatment turn out for you? I just happened on a borax site after making Ted's borax mixture for mange that my dog might have and found your comment from 2011. Any input would be greatly appreciated. ThanksReplied By Elle (Greece) on 07/14/2016
It's not only to spray the face with the borax mix but also have to have a "clean" diet. Meaning cut down/out sugar sweets and processed food.Replied By Melissa (Alexandria) on 03/15/2017
Is borax still improving your wrinkles??
