How to Tape

Applying Face & Tape is super easy. With a little care, you’ll get the most out of every use. Just follow these simple steps to get the best results:

1. Prep your skin

Cleanse your face however you prefer. Try to Avoid oils, they reduce adhesion. Have stubble or facial hair? Shave the areas where you’ll apply the tape for optimal grip. Let your skin breathe for 10 to 20 minutes so your products are fully absorbed.

Trim the tape if needed using clean, sharp scissors. Round off the corners to prevent lifting during wear. Apply the tape gently to relaxed skin. Don’t stretch or pull the tape — keep your face neutral and smooth it on softly. Lightly press to activate the tape. This keeps everything in place all night long.

Wear the tape for at least 2 and up to 9 hours. Perfect for nighttime or calm moments during the day — like working from home or unwinding on the couch. New to taping? Start with 2 to 4 hours to let your skin adjust gently. You can gradually extend the wear over time.

Gently peel the tape off in the direction of your hairline. Support your skin with your other hand to reduce redness or irritation. Sensitive or red skin? Remove immediately and allow time for recovery before reapplying.

Patch Test: Apply a piece on your arm and remove after 2 hours. If you’re not experiencing any irritation, you can apply it to your face. The tapes are not made for people under 16.
Less is more: Don’t overlap your tapes. If one strip isn’t long enough, you can simply extend it by adding another — just make sure they’re placed end to end.
Mouthtape: Simply place the strips next to each other across your lips to gently keep your mouth closed during sleep. It’s a simple way to support nasal breathing and improve overnight recovery.
Follow the Guidelines: For best results, follow our application guide you see above and apply the tape along the active zones. Looking for ideas? Watch our videos or follow us on Instagram for fresh tips and inspiration.
