1. Always Start with a Patch Test
If this is your first time using mouth tape, we highly recommend doing a patch test. Apply a small piece to a less sensitive area like your inner arm or behind the ear. This is a great way to check for any potential irritation before applying it to the more delicate skin around your lips. Sensitive skin? No worries, it’s all about easing in.
2. Tone Down the Tackiness
If the tape feels a bit too grippy, try this quick trick: press it gently against a clean fabric surface (like a T-shirt or pillowcase) once or twice. This helps reduce its stickiness without compromising the hold, making it far more comfortable on your skin especially during those first few nights.
3. Prep with Nadu Mask Soothe
A little skin prep goes a long way. Apply Nadu Mask Soothe about 10–15 minutes before taping. Not only does it hydrate and calm the skin, but it also creates a soft, nourishing barrier between the tape and your skin. This extra step can be a lifesaver for those prone to redness or dryness.
4. Slow and Gentle Wins the Race
When it’s time to remove the tape in the morning, go slowly. Instead of yanking it off like a bandage (ouch), peel gently from one corner across to the other. Think of it as unwrapping a delicate gift your skin will thank you.
Bonus Tips for a Better Taping Experience:
Start small: If the full tape feels like too much, try trimming it or using a design with a center slit to make breathing feel more natural at first.
Stay consistent: Like any new habit, it might feel unfamiliar for the first few nights. Stick with it, your body will adjust and thank you later.
Hydrate your lips: Keep lips moisturized during the day to avoid dryness and cracking, especially when first starting out.
