A wrinkle reducing pad is used to reduce wrinkles by applying tension to skin on a portion of the user's body, such as the face. An adhesive layer on the back of the wrinkle reducing pad is adhered to the skin, extending from a first point on the user's cheek, to a second point of the user's neck. A tension strap that is attached to one end of the adhesive pad is pulled to exert tension that tightly stretches the user's skin toward the neck. The tension strap is then removeably secured to the outer surface of the adhesive pad while maintaining the tension for a desired period of time. Since the adhesive pad adheres to the skin on the neck between the two points, it prevents wrinkles from forming there as a result of the tension applied by the tension strap.
