Your face taping videos are so straight forward and make it feel very approachable. Thank you!!

[@StrivingforHealth]

Oh good! I am so happy to hear that they are easy to understand, I hope they help. Taping is really fun, easy and best of all, it works great! Good luck!

Best channel. I love it. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us 💕

[@StrivingforHealth]

@Rita Pinheiro Thanks for those kind words. I try to keep things simple and informative without the fluff. Glad you like the channel. Keep watching!

[@ritapinheiro7208]

@@StrivingforHealth Exactly for being simple and objective that I love. And you can be very didactic even though the videos are short. I will continue watching yes, it has a lot of precious information. Kisses!!

Hi, love the channel. Do you have a taping routine for a turkey neck? Thank you 🙏

[@StrivingforHealth]

Turkey neck is from laxity in the muscle so I haven’t found taping to be super effective. I would recommend the tongue roll, turkey neck and lower face reset exercises to tone the muscles in that area. If you are getting some puffiness in the neck you could certainly do the lymph taping on the neck to help with drainage. Microcurrent can be wonderful for turkey neck as well.

Today was my first day to try the kinesio tape, I applied it to 2 and half hours. But actually, I made a mistake under the eye, and I applied on big pieces, which made the skin super red. I searched many channels on how to use it, and I found your channel. I have two questions, please. How many times as a bigenner should I use during the week? And how many hours I should wait until I remove it ? Thank you so much 🙏

[@StrivingforHealth]

@Jinan Zeidan The nighttime taping can be done overnight, so for 8 hours. I recommend nightly for about a month for this type of taping and then 3 times a week for maintenance. The lymph taping can be worn for 2 to 4 hours at a time and can be done daily or only as needed. Please make sure to ONLY use tape designed for the face as the body tape is too harsh, as you experienced. Check out our video on the tape we recommend for the face, they are super gentle and wont cause redness. For any tape, make sure to do a test strip to make sure you are not reactive to the adhesive.

[@jinanzeidan3271]

@Striving for Health Thank you so much for replying. I'm using from the start kinesiology for face. But maybe the way I took it off caused that. The one I'm using, I ordered online. I don't live in the USA, but they wrote its cotton kinesiology tape. Actually, it's similar to the first tape you showed I the video. I will follow your constructions, but please, I have the last question, Some say we should not put the tape on a cream. We should wash and out it on dry skin. Others say we can put cream, and after it dries, we can put the tape. As for me , when I out the tape two days ago on dry skin, it made irritation skin, and when I put it 8 hours during the night after cream when I wake up I have zero irritation. What's better? Thank you so much for your replies. I appreciate it 🙏🙏

[@StrivingforHealth]

@Jinan Zeidan The tape is totally fine to put on once any cream or oil is absorbed, usually about 20 minutes after application. It will just prevent the adhesive from sticking if you put it on too soon after application. Just a quick note, there are a ton of cotton tapes out there and they all tend to look the same so you need to make sure the adhesive on the one you have is super gentle and for sensitive skin for the delicate facial skin. I only recommend Spider Tech Gentle or Kinesio Gold Light Touch. They both ship internationally I believe. There absolutely could be others that could work but I know these two will not aggravate the skin as they are super gentle.

[@jinanzeidan3271]

@Striving for Health Thank you so much, I just searched about the name of the tape you recommended, and I found it. 😀 it's more expensive but of course it's worth it. Once I finish the one I have, I will move to that type of tape. Again , thank you so much for your time. It is highly appreciated 🙏

Thank you !!!!!!

Wonderful example

Thank you. Appreciate the feed back.

[@TheAgingGames]

Is there a way to know if your double chin is caused by fat or lymphatic fluid?

[@StrivingforHealth]

One of the best ways to tell if it due to lymph fluid is if you are puffy when you wake up or if the puffiness decreases throughout the day as you are moving around. If you are a little overweight, it could be both. Hope this helps.

[@TheAgingGames]

@@StrivingforHealth thank you so much!

[@Ninabolslundgren]

Thank you for your great videoes. Why shoul you avoid the thyroid? You mention it briefly

[@StrivingforHealth]

I am in a habit of avoiding the thyroid in general when I do other holistic beauty treatments like cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling or microcurrent for safety reasons.

[@ritapinheiro7208]

Hello (again 😉) why shouldn't we use the kinesiotape for lymphatic drainage at night (to sleep)?

[@StrivingforHealth]

@Rita Pinheiro The lymph taping needs to be done while moving around. The lymph system doesn’t have a pump like our cardiovascular system so is totally dependent on muscular contractions to move the fluid around the body. So, you need to be moving around for the lymph to move around, which is during the day. Since you are not moving around at night, the lymph taping will be of no benefit as there is no way to facilitate the lymph movement and get the benefits of the taping. Hope that explained it for you. :)

[@ritapinheiro7208]

@@StrivingforHealth Thank you!! It was really well explained. I understood everything. Our organism is fantastic! 😘💕

[@blueponypics4112]

Can't i go out wearing this tape? I thrt ppl often taped themselves togther before a special event? E.G.as one does ones makeup? Thankyou so much i really appreciate yr expertise. ❤🐎🐎🐎🇭🇲🇭🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@StrivingforHealth]

BluePony Pics: The taping in the video can be worn outside, but you will absolutely see it as it is not subtle. I will sometimes wear mine at work but my patients are used to it so it isn’t a big deal. You could also use a scarf to cover the tape as well if you want to wear it out and about. But the type of tape you are talking about is a completely different type of tape and taping application to what we show in the videos. You are referring to a clear tape that works by holding the skin in place (for a tightening effect) for short periods of time, like a special event. You would need to research how to use that type of tape if that is what you are looking for. I don’t recommend wearing the type of taping shown in our videos to a special event unless you want to really create some interest!!! Hope that helps. DeBritt

[@praywithme-godanswerspraye3423]

What type of tape is this?

[@zxresa]

What does it mean please? To activate the tape?

[@StrivingforHealth]

@youtuber Activating the tape simply means that you are rubbing the length of the tape after application to ensure a secure connection with the skin. It simply helps the tape stick to the skin better. Hope this helps.

[@hazanbayraktar2880]

i read online that leaving the tape longer than an hour is harmful, is that true

[@StrivingforHealth]

Sorry for the late reply. Facial tape is very gentle and can be worn overnight. There are certainly some harsher tapes out there that would not be great for the skin for longer periods of time. We recommend a few of them that are super gentle, please have a look at our “Let’s talk Tape” video.

[@EB-Eats]

Where do I get the tape?

[@StrivingforHealth]

Nene: If you are based in the North America we sell tape thru our clinic online linked here: www.strivingforhealth.com/shop-facial-tape You can of course look for a retailer nearer you. The brands we suggest are either Spider Tech Gentle or Kinesio Gold Light Touch tape. spidertech.com/us/spidertech-roll (select the gentle option on the page) kinesiotape.com/kinesio-tex-gold-light-touch/ Hope that helps. D.

[@zoehernandez8257]

You can get them on Amazon babe they're like $7 for 200

[@StrivingforHealth]

Zoe Hernandez: Thanks for your comment. I don't have any affiliation to any particular brand however I only suggest brands that I have had experience with personally. That said, of course use what you're comfortable with. I would like to add that you need to make sure that you check the adhesive on the self-cut strips before application, as they can be quite intense since they are geared for the body and not the face, even if they are sometimes labelled as such. Also, make sure to still do the facial measurements and cut the strips as appropriate for each face, as the strips are of generic length and will not fit each unique face. Thanks. DeBritt

[@Ninabolslundgren]

Love your videos. Is this a different tape than kinesiologic tape?

[@StrivingforHealth]

Yes, it is a gentle version of kinesiology tape. Normal kinesiology tape adhesive is too harsh for the face, but there are a few brands we recommend that work great and are super gentle for the face. We are not affiliated with them, they just have great tape. They are Spider Tech's Gentle or Kinesio Gold Light Touch Tape which can be found online from Amazon etc. Please check out our video on Do's and Don'ts of facial Taping for more info.

[@goataway1134]

Why do you avoid the thyroid area? I'm new to this lol

[@StrivingforHealth]

@GoatAway For this taping, there is no need to do the thyroid area since we are only working with the double chin area. Same for the Lymph taping that is done on the neck, we are just working to drain the lymph so want to facilitate it draining to the collar bone area, as an example. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@cocot3662]

Will this work for turkey neck?

[@StrivingforHealth]

Coco T. Because Turkey Neck is associated more with loose neck skin and poor muscle tone, Taping won't really be of any benefit for that. However I suggest incorporating facial exercises which are more specifically designed to help tone the neck muscles and give the skin a firmer appearance. We have created a number of videos for facial exercises, the one you'll need is linked below. Hope this helps! Here is the link to our video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2bTgqanhqpnras

[@cocot3662]

@@StrivingforHealthThank you.

[@StrivingforHealth]

You're very welcome!

[@dionneharrell3113]

How long does it normally take to see any results?

[@StrivingforHealth]

Hello. The lymph taping for the double chin can help to reduce any excess lymph that is hanging around, which can be one of the causes of a double chin. If this is the case for you, then you should see some reduction in the area after you tape for a few weeks. If the muscles are also involved, which can absolutely be a contributing factor, then I recommend also doing some of the exercises we have for the double chin area as well. Good luck!

[@MarthaHernandez-cu6zq]

Where can I purchase the tape

[@StrivingforHealth]

Martha Hernandez. If you live in the Herndon VA area I sell the tape at my clinic and as yet haven’t had time to get them on the website, so until then I recommend either Spider Tech Gentle or Kinesio Gold Light Touch tape. spidertech.com/us/spidertech-roll (select the gentle option on the page) kinesiotape.com/kinesio-tex-gold-light-touch/ Make sure you only get these specific ones from their websites as both companies sell other tapes as well. The other tapes on their sites are great for the body but just not the face, they will be WAY too aggressive for the face. You could possibly purchase them on Amazon etc. however there is always the risk of it being incorrectly labelled. We did a specific video for the types of tape to use as well, you can see that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5K8iGqboMiZedU Let me know how you go. Good luck!

[@Dani.Coates]

Can you wear this at night/ sleeping? Or is it better to use during the day

[@StrivingforHealth]

DaniC: This taping application is only for daytime since it is a lymph drainage type of taping. You need to be moving around in order to mobilize and drain the lymph fluid. This application will not work if you are wearing it at night as you are not moving. You can wear it during the day anywhere from 2 to 8 hours at a time. Good luck!

[@Dani.Coates]

not a viable long-term solution

[@StrivingforHealth]

This can be a great option IF the issue is a stagnant lymph issue. Facial exercises can be helpful as well. Not everyone will respond to this type of taping.

[@rhondamay1934]

WWHERE DO WE GET THE FACE TAPE!!!!!!!!!!!@@@ THIS IS A GREAT TUTORIAL..... WILL YOU PLEASE TELL US WHERE TO GET THE TAPE!!!! GREAT IF YOU DO NOT TELL US, WE WILL NO LONGER WATCH YOUR VIDEOS !!!!!!!!!!

[@StrivingforHealth]

You can purchase either Spider Tech Gentle or Kinesio Gold Light Touch Tape on Amazon or do a Google search for a retailer near you. They are both super gentle and the only ones I ever recommend. Make sure to ONLY get the recommended types above as they have many different tapes on their sites, great for the body but definitely not to be used on the face. Regardless, I always recommend doing a test strip on your arm BEFORE you apply anything to your face, just to be sure. Simply place a small strip on the inside of your arm for 8 hours and see how you go with it before you apply to your face. We also sell them thru our clinic which can be found in the video description, however we tend to sell out rather quickly. Hope this helps.
