It's not advisable to apply any moisturizer or oils to the skin before taping as it would interfere with the tapes ability to adhere to the skin.

@@StrivingforHealth Thank you

I would recommend either Spider Tech Gentle or Kinesio Gold Light Touch Tape. They are both super gentle and the only ones I ever recommend. Make sure to ONLY get the recommended types above as they have many different tapes on their sites, great for the body but not to be used on the face. But regardless, if you are prone to reactions, I always recommend doing a test strip on your arm BEFORE you apply anything to your face, just to be sure. Simply place a small strip on the inside of your arm for 8 hours and see how you go with it before you apply to your face. The adhesives in these tapes are very mild but it is still possible to have a reaction to the adhesive so test it out first.

Just fillers, not botox. Wait 3 months after botox to face tape. Or avoid face taping if you regularly get botox touch ups.

I am curious about this as well! I would think it would help prolong the results from Botox. Not sure why you wouldn’t do it for filler unless she is worried about it causing migration?

my botox isn't doing enough I still have movement and I cry everyday because my house just burned down My face is getting ravaged by the wrinkles please help

This application requires you to move around in order to move the lymph. The entire purpose is to drain stagnant lymph from the area. When you move your body you are moving your lymph. If you are horizontal while sleeping, there is no movement and the taping for this issue will not help.

This can be a great option IF the issue is a stagnant lymph issue. Facial exercises can be helpful as well. Not everyone will respond to this type of taping.

That would be fine. You can do whatever size you would like, so 10mm up to 30mm would work.

Sorry, it doesn’t help for a receding chin.

Absolutely! I always recommend combining the applications. For your example, the application for the bunny lines would go on first and then the 11’s application.

That is ok, any board will work. If you are using the heart shaped board, use the point of the heart for when you would use the teeth, it will work too. 😊

So sorry for the late reply. The anchor is simply the tape where the application starts. You will hold that part of the tape in position as you are smoothing the skin for the application of the rest of the piece of tape. This application doesn’t help with firming the breasts, sorry.

Sorry for the late reply. Facial tape is very gentle and can be worn overnight. There are certainly some harsher tapes out there that would not be great for the skin for longer periods of time. We recommend a few of them that are super gentle, please have a look at our “Let’s talk Tape” video.

Sorry for the late reply. Everyone is different but it is usually fine. However, if you tend to peel or have any irritation at all with the retinol, I would skip the taping.

Sorry for late reply. Make sure that when you are taping and applying the tape, that there are NO wrinkles under the tape. This is extremely important. The skin needs to be smooth under the tape so the tape is just holding the skin in that position. Hope this helps.

By pulling gently on the skin you are positioning the muscles and skin where they need to be (and ensuring there are no wrinkles under the tape) and then taping them in that position. This allows for a little stretch in the tape after application for some movement to naturally happen while sleeping if doing the overnight application. When you stretch the tape to apply, it is very easy to apply the tape too tightly and create a wrinkle as the tape will contract slightly after application if it has been stretched. Also, if we are trying to work on a mimic wrinkle (like the 11’s), and we want to relax the muscle, we don’t want the tape to contract on an muscle we are trying to relax. Overused and tight muscles will cause mimic wrinkles so we want to keep it relaxed and stretched. If you don’t stretch the tape, the tape won’t constrict.

No, that is way to harsh for the delicate skin on the face and especially around the eyes. I would recommend either Spidertech Tape - Gentle or Kinesio Tape - Gold Light Touch only for the face.

Rocktape has gentle type tape as well, I use it all the time on my face with no issues

If you are taping properly, say for the 11’s as an example, there will be a change when you take the tape off in the morning. If you are trying to life, you should do the taping in conjunction with facial exercises to life the lax muscles. I recommend taping for the cheeks for at least a month with nightly taping and then 2 to 3 times a week to maintain. Try the Lower face rest exercise we have on the channel to target the cheeks.

YES! Taping in combination is absolutely recommended!

If using and applying tape correctly, it will not cause wrinkles. But, if you are causing wrinkles or taping with wrinkles under the tape, it will cause wrinkles. Please ensure proper taping technique for a smooth application where there are NO wrinkles around or under the tape.

That is a good question, but I doubt it would change anything. There would be some additional space taken up from the braces but not enough to change the muscle position.

Thank you! 😊

I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying the videos. Regarding your questions: 1. I don’t recommend keeping the lymph taping on for more than 8 hours at a time. 2. I would work on the eyebrow that is lower with some gentle facial cupping, gua sha and facial exercises to get some lift so it matches the other side. Microcurrent can also be wonderful for asymmetry. Good luck!

Happy they helped! Unfortunately, if the skin laxity is severe there isn’t anything that taping can do to tighten that up. If the laxity is minimal, you can try strengthening and toning the muscles in the area, since the skin is attached to the muscles. This can work wonders on the cheek area but necks are tricky. If you want to try that angle, I would recommend the tongue roll, lower face reset and turkey neck exercises we have available on the channel. If it is severe, there are some non-ablative laser options that can help to tighten skin.

Thank you 😊

Yes, you are gently pulling the skin but not stretching the tape. Please review the videos as it talks about that.

Precut tape in theory is wonderful and so much faster, but the issue is everyone’s facial measurements are different so there is just not a one size fits all. If you do pre-cuts, you will still need to cut it to fit your specific face. Also be careful as most pre-cuts are for the body and the adhesive is too intense for the face. An easy way to get your tape cut is to do it all at once. Once you get your length for a specific area you want to tape, spend 15 to 20 minutes cutting a week or two weeks or more of the same size and keep that in an envelope or container of some sort. Then, when you are ready to apply at night, when you don’t want to cut the tape, you can just quickly grab a precut that is perfect for you. It makes things much faster and easier.

I recommend nightly taping for about a month and then you can do 2 or 3 times a week, depending on how your skin is doing.

The taping application is recommended to be bilateral, so both sides should be taped. Unless you are dealing with a lot of asymmetries and you are only wanting to correct one side.
