Face taping

How do I apply the tape?

Start by cleansing your face and applying your evening skincare routine as usual. Wait a few minutes to let everything absorb fully to help the tape stick better.

Choose your tape type:
Pre-cut strips - Simply peel and place them on the area you want to support (like your forehead or smile lines).
Tape roll - Cut strips to your desired length and round the corners using scissors. This helps the tape stay put overnight without peeling up.

Here’s how to apply:
1. Peel off about 1cm of the backing paper from the bottom of the strip.
2. With your face relaxed, gently press that section onto your skin, right at the bottom/outer corner of the area you want to support.
3. Stretch the skin (not the tape!) gently with your fingers, then smooth the rest of the tape down without pulling.
4. Finally, rub the tape gently to activate the heat-sensitive adhesive.

How often should I use face tape?

To get the best results, we recommend using face tape every night for 6–8 hours as part of your wind-down routine. Think of it like a little wellness ritual before bed.

Stick with it for about 30 days to give your skin and facial muscles time to adjust. After that, you can keep taping every night or switch to a few times a week, whatever fits your routine and skin goals best.

How long can I leave it on for?

You can wear the tape for up to 8 hours overnight as part of your bedtime routine. It’s designed to stay in place while you sleep and remain comfortable the whole time. We don’t recommend wearing it for longer than that, and there’s no need to. A full night’s rest is the perfect window for it to do its thing.

Should I stretch the tape?

No - you shouldn’t stretch the face tape. Instead, use your fingers to gently stretch the skin so it lies smooth underneath. The tape itself should be applied without any tension. Keeping it relaxed allows it to stay in place comfortably and support your skin naturally while you sleep.

Is it safe to use around the eyes?

Yes, but with care. Our pre-cut patches include a smaller size designed for the delicate under-eye area. Always apply tape to clean, dry skin, and never pull or stretch the skin when applying or removing it. If your skin is especially sensitive, start slowly and test how it feels.

Can I use skincare underneath my face tape?

Yes, just let your products fully absorb before applying the tape. Lightweight serums and moisturizers are perfect. We recommend avoiding oily products, exfoliating acids, or very thick creams, as they can affect how well the tape sticks or feel a little too strong when trapped under the tape overnight. Otherwise, you’re all good to go.

Is the tape safe to use every night?

Yes, it’s safe to use every night. Our face tape is made from hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested materials that are gentle enough for nightly wear. In fact, using it consistently is what helps train the facial muscles and support smoother-looking skin over time.

Can face tape really prevent the appearance of wrinkles?

The short answer is yes. Face taping works by gently lifting the skin, creating a bit of space between the skin and the underlying muscles. This extra space encourages better blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which helps nutrients circulate more effectively and allows the muscles to relax.

Together, these effects create a more supportive environment for your skin to stay smooth and help prevent deeper lines from setting in.

While it’s not as intensive as treatments like Botox, face tape is a great non-invasive option for those who want to care for their skin in a more natural way. And like everything in skincare, it works best when paired with healthy habits - hydration, sun protection, good sleep, and a consistent routine.

How do I remove the tape?

Start by gently lifting one edge of the tape, usually at the top or corner, and slowly roll it off your skin in a downward motion. Don’t pull or rip it off. If it feels a bit stuck, you can dampen the tape slightly with warm water or apply a drop of oil to help loosen the adhesive.

What is your face tape made of?

Our face tape is made from cotton, spandex, and a gentle medical-grade adhesive from Henkel.

Cotton keeps the tape soft and breathable, so your skin can stay comfortable all night.

Spandex adds a little stretch, so the tape moves naturally with your face.

The Henkel adhesive is heat-activated, hypoallergenic, and designed to be kind to sensitive skin - no tugging, no irritation.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is. Our face tape is made with gentle, hypoallergenic materials and has been dermatologist-tested to make sure it’s safe for sensitive skin. The cotton is soft and breathable, the adhesive is medical-grade, and everything is designed to stay comfortable, even with overnight wear.

For first-time users, it's always recommended to a patch test on the inside of your elbow before using the tape overnight.

Is your face tape latex-free?

Yes, it is. Our face tape is completely latex-free, making it a safe choice for anyone with latex allergies or sensitivities.

Can I use face tape during the day?

Yes, you can! While our face tape is designed for overnight wear, it can also be used during the day, especially if you’re working from home, relaxing, or enjoying a self-care moment. Just make sure your skin is clean and dry before applying, and give it a few hours to work its magic.

Can I combine face taping with gua sha or lymphatic massage?

Yes, absolutely. Gua sha and lymphatic massage pair beautifully with face taping. Just do your massage before applying the tape. This helps release tension and promote circulation. Once your skin has settled and your products have absorbed, apply the tape to support the results.

Is it safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes, our face tape is non-invasive and made from skin-friendly materials, with no active ingredients that absorb into the skin. That said, if you're pregnant or breastfeeding and have any concerns, we always recommend checking in with your doctor before adding anything new to your routine.

How does face tape compare to Botox or fillers?

Face tape is a non-invasive alternative that supports your skin without needles or appointments. Unlike Botox or fillers, it doesn’t freeze muscles or add volume. Instead, face taping works by relaxing facial tension and creating space for better circulation and muscle reset. This gives your skin the environment it needs to care for itself naturally and help maintain your facial structure over time.

It’s not a one-to-one replacement, but it’s a great option if you prefer to avoid more intensive treatments and focus on long-term skin health.
