In the ever-evolving world of skincare, natural and non-invasive techniques are making a major comeback—and face taping is one of them. Rooted in kinesiology, a practice originally developed in the 1970s to support muscle healing and alignment, face taping is now being reimagined as a powerful beauty tool. This gentle method uses strategically placed adhesive strips to lift, relax facial muscles, and reduce tension—minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and promoting lymphatic drainage.
What is Face Taping?
Face taping involves applying specialized adhesive strips to targeted areas of the face, such as the forehead, nasolabial folds, and around the eyes. This technique aims to temporarily lift and tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By restricting muscle movement during sleep, face taping can prevent the formation of new expression lines and promote a smoother complexion upon waking.

Bakuchiol Oil - The Natural Alternative to Retinol
Derived from the babchi plant, Bakuchiol is celebrated for its anti-aging properties. Unlike traditional retinol, Bakuchiol offers similar benefits—such as reducing fine lines, improving skin texture, and promoting an even skin tone—without causing irritation or dryness. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin and safe for daytime use.
The Perfect Pair: Face Taping and Bakuchiol Oil
Combining face taping with Oil Divine's Bakuchiol Oil can enhance your skincare routine:
-Enhanced Absorption: Applying Bakuchiol oil before face taping can help the skin absorb the oil more effectively, maximizing its benefits.
-Muscle Relaxation: Face taping can aid in relaxing facial muscles, allowing the Bakuchiol oil to penetrate deeper and work more efficiently.
-Overnight Rejuvenation: Using both methods overnight can lead to a refreshed and youthful appearance by morning.
