How to Face Tape: A Step-by-Step Guide

You’d like to try face taping yourself but you’re unsure how to do it best ? In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to apply our patches correctly , which facial areas are particularly suitable , and what to keep in mind to achieve the best possible results.

Before you start: Test for skin compatibility. Before getting started, we recommend performing a short skin compatibility test. Apply the patch to the inside of your forearm for a few hours and observe whether your skin reacts with irritation. This ensures that your skin tolerates the material well, which is especially important for sensitive skin.

Face Taping Guide for Forehead Lines, Frown Lines, and Thinker Lines

Taping Frown Lines – Step by Step

1) Prepare the skin
Clean your face thoroughly and pat it dry. Make sure not to use creams, oils, or serums – the patches adhere reliably only to oil-free, clean skin.

2) Relax your facial muscles
Before applying, keep your facial expression as neutral as possible. No frowning, no smiling – the more relaxed the muscles, the more effective the tape will be.

3) Position the patch correctly
Gently smooth the area between your eyebrows with your fingers. Place the patch directly over the frown line so the entire wrinkle is covered. The goal is to calm the underlying muscle area completely.

Optional: Want more tension?
If the pull of the tape isn’t enough, you can apply a second patch slightly overlapping the first. This intensifies the effect – especially for deeper lines.

4) Now: Give it time.

Wear the patch for at least 1–2 hours – or leave it on overnight to maintain muscle relaxation and support skin regeneration. To remove, moisten the patch with a warm, damp cloth or a little mild oil and gently peel it off.

Taping Crow’s Feet – Step by Step

1. Prepare the skin
   Clean the outer eye area thoroughly and pat it dry. The skin should be free from oil or skincare products.
2. Relax your face
   Keep your facial expression calm and neutral. Avoid blinking or tensing the eye area.
3. Position the patch
   Apply the patch in a fan shape from the outer corner of the eye toward the temple. The tape should rest lightly without tension or pulling.

4. Application time Leave the patch on for at least 1 hour – or use it overnight to stabilize the relaxed muscle position longer.

Face Taping Guide for Nasolabial and Marionette Lines

Taping Nasolabial Folds – Step by Step

1. Prepare the skin
   Clean the area around the nose and mouth thoroughly and let the skin dry completely. Avoid skincare products to ensure proper adhesion.
2. Relax facial expression
   The entire area should be relaxed when applying – no smiling or tensing around mouth and cheeks.
3. Apply the patch
   Place the patch on the targeted area. Pro tip: Start next to the nostrils. Gently puff out your cheeks to stretch the nasolabial fold. Then apply the tape along the fold downward.
4. Optional: For more stability. For deeper lines, you can apply a second patch slightly overlapping the first to intensify the effect.
5. Recommended: Wear overnight. For a stronger effect, leave the patch on for several hours – ideally overnight.

Taping Marionette Lines – Step by Step

1. Clean and dry the skin
   Make sure the skin is clean, free from oil, and without any product residue.
2. Relax facial expression
   Avoid any kind of facial movement when applying – especially around the mouth and jaw area.
3. Apply the patch along the line
   Position the patch from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin so that the entire line is covered.
4. Wear time
   Leave the patch on for at least 1 hour – for more pronounced lines, it’s best to wear it overnight.

Tips for Best Results:

• Wear for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
• Consistency is key: For visible results, use the patches regularly for at least 30 days.
• For sensitive skin: Moisten the patch with a warm, damp cloth or a little mild oil before removing to avoid irritation.
• Important: Always apply with a relaxed facial expression – otherwise you “fix” the wrinkle in the wrong position.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does face taping do?

Face taping works like a mini facelift without any procedure. It relaxes facial muscles, smooths expression-related wrinkles, and with regular use can deliver visible anti-aging effects.

How often should you use face tape?

For optimal results, we recommend using the patches daily or at least 3–5 times per week. Especially for deeper lines, consistent use over 4 weeks shows the best effects.

What helps against deep wrinkles on the face?

In addition to face taping, you can support your skin with moisturizing care containing hyaluronic acid, consistent UV protection, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep.

Face taping cannot completely eliminate deep wrinkles, but it helps to specifically relax facial muscles and thereby soften wrinkles and make the skin appear smoother – especially for expression-related lines. Consistency and a holistic skincare routine are key.

Can you sleep with face tape on?

Yes, especially cotton patches with Aloe Vera, Niacinamide, or Hyaluronic Acid are suitable for nighttime use. Facial muscles are relaxed during sleep – enhancing the effect. Important: Clean your skin beforehand, avoid skincare products, and press the patch on firmly.
