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

Do your skincare like you prefer. If you're using oils, wait 10 to 20 minutes before applying until it's fully absurbed.

2. Apply the tape

Apply the tape to clean, relaxed skin on the areas that need extra care. Keep your face neutral and do not stretch the tape. Gently press and rub to activate the adhesive. If you're a side sleeper, apply the tapes horizontally instead of vertically. Below you’ll find examples of how to place the tapes per area.

3. Remove with care

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 re-applying.

Tips, tricks and extra information

  • 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.
  • Duration: 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.
  • Mouthtape: Simply place the strips vertical 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? Follow us on Instagram for fresh tips and inspiration.
