Face Lift Tape – A Quick Solution for Emergency Situations

As I already mentioned in my previous post, there are two ways of getting an instant face lift: applying a smoothing cream or using a face lift tape.

In the field of face lift without surgery, the face lift tape is probably the most controversial method of getting rid of sagging skin. Some people consider it effective, while others think that it’s simply hilarious. The fact is, this instant cosmetic trick has been used by many show business stars during the last decades. In order to have an objective opinion about this face lift product, let’s analyze the facts.

The face lift tape is an instant solution appropriate for emergency situations. The tape is designed to pull back and stretch the sagging skin of the eyes, face and neck. The transparent peel-off tape pads are usually attached behind the ears or temples in several places, depending on the needed lifting effect. They are secured with an elastic string that is fastened to an anchor placed at the back of the head, being hidden by the person’s hair.

After applying the tape and tightening the string until the desirable level of face lifting is achieved, you should think of a hairstyle that will effectively hide both the tape AND the elastic. You will need lots of hair volume for that, not to mention the amounts of hair spray you will have to apply in order to make sure that every strand will stay in the needed place.

As you can see, the whole process of applying the face lift tape is rather elaborate and risky – it’s hard to hide all that ‘hardware’ in your hair, not to mention the fact that the pads can be visible if you don’t mask them well with bangs or make-up. Awkward situations can happen anytime and once you apply the tape, you can forget about being relaxed and comfortable – all you’ll be able to think about will be efficiently hiding the source of your ‘rejuvenated’ skin.

On the other hand, if you lack the time or the money for a surgical (or non-surgical) face lift, and if you need to look younger only occasionally, then who knows? Maybe the face lift tape is the answer you’ve been looking for! Practice makes perfect, and in time you could learn to hide the tape efficiently and to feel relaxed while using it.

You can buy this product online or in local stores. It is not expensive – the price usually ranges between $15 and $40. Most face lift tapes come in various colors, so the customers could choose one that will match the color of their hair. If you want to try it out, don’t hesitate – if you don’t like it, you’ll only lose a few dollars! Maybe the only real advantage of face lift tape is the fact that there are no risks involved like in case of plastic surgery or complicated non-surgical procedures. With face lift tape, you only risk looking ridiculous if someone will notice it!

Just be careful and choose a product that does not cause skin irritations. You might want to wear the tape at home for a few hours before deciding to appear in public.

One last useful tip: don’t go on a hot date wearing face lift tape! Imagine how embarrassed you would feel if your tape will be discovered during a passionate kiss! This product is more appropriate for TV appearances or formal events, when nobody will get too close to you and you won’t have to move around a lot.

For achieving a long lasting youthful look, I suggest trying one of the many available ways of having a face lift without surgery: improving your lifestyle and getting rid of detrimental habits, using natural masks and creams, doing facial exercises and maybe trying one of the new technological cosmetic procedures: laser face lift, thermage, microcurrent or ulthera.
