Face taping is an innovative, needle-free method in modern skincare. The gentle, elastic pull of the tape mechanically relieves the skin's surface and protects it from unconscious facial expressions. This naturally provides a visible lifting effect for the facial zones.

Our tapes offer a unique combination of care and preventative protection against expression lines. They relieve the skin's surface during nightly regeneration and give the face a visually fresher look and more defined contours. In combination with massages, they stimulate local blood circulation, activate microcirculation, and noticeably improve skin elasticity.

The PRUNA Face & Body Tape is very easy to use. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Preparation: Thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. For pre-care, it is best to choose a light, non-oily cream or serum that fully absorbs. The skin surface should be dry for optimal tape adhesion.

2. Cutting: Cut the tape to the desired shape and size for your specific face or body area. The tapes are elastic in length and should always be cut lengthwise, not widthwise, for optimal application.Tip: Slightly round the corners with scissors to make the tape hold even better and prevent it from rolling up at the edges.

3. Application: The method differs depending on the area:

• Face: Apply the tape to the outer edge of the face and gently smooth the skin outwards. Then apply the tape without tension towards the center of the face. It should lie naturally without uncomfortably tightening the skin.
• Body: Here, the skin is not moved, but the tape itself is applied with slight tension to mechanically support and relieve the respective body part optimally.

4. Application Time: Leave the tape on the skin for 2 to 6 hours or simply overnight. Integrate the application regularly into your routine for visibly smoother, more rested skin.

5. Removal: Apply a face or body oil and thoroughly moisten the tape with it. Then carefully pull or roll off the tape. Any adhesive residue can be easily removed with a little extra oil on a cotton pad. Afterward, gently massage the area briefly to stimulate local microcirculation and give the skin surface a relaxed finish.

The tapes should be individually cut to fit the body or face area you want to apply them to.

The basic cut: Cut the tape to the required length to cover the desired zone. Since the tapes are elastic, the strips should always be cut lengthwise, not widthwise. Ensure even edges for a clean application. Tip: Slightly round the corners so that the tape does not curl up later.

For the face: Cut the tape into narrower strips that perfectly adapt to the fine contours of your face. The strips should be long enough to extend from the outer parts of the face towards the center of the face, without tension being applied to the tape.

For the body: For the body, cut wider strips that optimally cover the desired skin areas and zones. The tape is cut so that it provides elastic, mechanical support to the respective area and achieves a uniformly smooth, supported skin feel.

Careful preparation is key to ensuring that your PRUNA Face & Body Tape adheres optimally and that your skin feels completely comfortable.

1. The patch test: To ensure skin compatibility in advance, cut off a small piece of tape and stick it for a few hours to test, e.g. behind your ear or on the inside of your forearm.

2. Thorough cleansing: Completely free the desired skin area on your face or body from dirt, oils, and make-up. Use a mild, gentle cleansing product that protects your skin barrier.

3. The right pre-care: Then apply a light, non-oily moisturizer that is fully absorbed. It forms a wonderful base between the skin and the tape.

Important: Avoid products with intensive active ingredients such as retinol or fruit acids (AHA/BHA) directly before taping. The tape gently encloses the skin, which could cause these active ingredients to react too intensely and unnecessarily irritate the skin surface. Make sure that your skincare product is completely absorbed and no sticky film remains, so that the tape adheres perfectly.

Yes, face taping is a safe and wonderful method for your skincare routine when applied correctly. PRUNA's kinesiology tapes have been specially developed for delicate facial skin to gently support the skin's surface without stressing it. The tape is always applied very gently and without tension to support a noticeably firmer skin feeling instead of burdening the skin.

To test your individual skin tolerance beforehand, it is important to perform a short patch test before the first application. If skin irritations, redness, or intolerances occur, please do not use the tape.

Applying our kinesiology tapes is generally absolutely safe and straightforward. However, as every skin reacts differently, you should observe the following precautions:

• Skin irritations: In rare cases, especially with very sensitive skin, slight redness or itching may occur. Therefore, always perform a patch test before the first application. If you notice signs of intolerance (such as persistent burning or severe redness), remove the tape immediately and rinse the skin with clean water.
• Pre-existing skin damage: Never use the tape on open wounds, freshly shaven skin, sunburn, rashes, or eczema, so as not to put additional strain on the skin barrier.
• Plaster sensitivity: If you know that you are sensitive to classic plasters or certain adhesives, you should avoid using the tape as a precaution or consult a dermatologist beforehand.
• Excessive tension (overstretching): Always apply the tape to the face completely without stretching. Too much tension pulls on the uppermost skin layer and can lead to purely mechanically induced skin irritations.
• Redness after removal: A slight, temporary redness immediately after removing the tape is completely normal due to increased microcirculation. However, if the redness persists for longer or feels uncomfortable, give your skin a break.
