Is there any benefit to face taping wrinkles?

Face taping is basically placing sticky taping on some areas of the face and the tape is supposed to constrict muscles and limit their nothing, thus preventing expressions that could wrinkle your face.

Here is the trick, of course, wrinkles and fine lines look better when the tape is on, but using it overnight won't reduce your wrinkles. 

Could it worsen your wrinkles?

In fact, it could actually irritate your face because of the adhesive on the tape, and repeated use of face tape can clog your pores and stretch the skin and end up in the formation of more wrinkles and fine lines.

The bottom line

If you are planning to attend an event where you would like your face to look more lifted, you might turn to facial tapping, but continued use of face tape is not something I would recommend.
