With all due respect I have been doing face taping for over a year now and the wrinkles I taped are gone.

Listen to someone who makes money from the exact problem you’re solving.

I believe you’re missing the point. It’s to prevent the wrinkles when you’re a side sleeper or sleep on your face. It keeps the skin from folding over on itself therefore preventing further damage. I’ve tried to train myself to be a back sleeper to no avail and taping definitely helps.

Actually, I started to use it lately from time to time. It's really has a great result. I dont have deep wrinkles . You are totally right concerning the disadvantages. Actually, the only disadvantage thing I faced is while removing them the first time I used it, I hurt myself because I was removing them, just the way that lady is removing the k-tape. Without using oil or water . And it caused me deep scratching on my cheek.
Now I make sure to spray/wash my face with water, and after they get wet then the process of removing them would be so easy and harmless.

Tap is not risk.. people put chemicals on the face..

[NarehArghamanyanPianist]

Dont listen to her, taping makes wonders...she wouldnt recommend of course so that her injections could be used still and she could earn..you will see incredible results...

It totally works. I genetically tend to have pronounce frown lines (aka eleven lines) and started taping while sleepping about 2 years ago and its night and day diference. Yes its true the lines are not completely gone but they are barely visible now. During the day, if In exposed to the sun a lot or if I cry, the lines become visible again. But a good 10 hrs of taping mix with good night sleep and they are gone the next day. Especially after taping for years the effect is more visible. There is not a single day I dont use it. Even uf I need a nap during the day i will not nap without the tape. I havent had ANY bad effects.

I have been taping my face since age 12. Yes age 12. My mom and I were professional dancers and she did this and taught me. This does work. I use a certain tape from the store for over 40 years now. Several rules to follow and it works.

I'm 40, and have been face taping for 3 months. My main concern area was nasolabial area, which was caused by general aging and also because I am a side sleeper. Putting the tape on the area helps to immobilise it, so it cannot fold as deeply. It's just a minor thing that mechanically stops it from creasing, but hey every bit helps! (I still get botox and threadlifts, and generally I look late 20s)

[BLane-xric]

Oh stop it, you've all had botox ffs 😂

[serena]

Been using frownies and it works! LOve it

[rubymars]

Well first of all the tape better not give you an allergic reaction 😂

[preetysubba]

I used go do this for a very very long time

[vimalah]

It has to do with stretching and relaxing the mousles

[Northdallasguy]

It works for smaller, wrinkles, brother deep it more than likely is not going to show results

[MissMelissaD]

I've tried a few things but still have the number 11 between my eyes. It's I haven't tried face taping, but I think I will because those lines won't go away with massage and I can't afford botox.

[julietackon]

Im really interested
pls how do i get some to buy

[juliaangelina]

and also you can’t use any skincare products that actually improve your skin quality while using tape so you’re really missing out on benefits

[Invisiblebetch]

So should I inject botulism on my face like you?😂

[julietackon]

Pls where do i get de tape to buy
im in ghana
