Women Are Now Taping Their Foreheads To Prevent Wrinkles In A Latest Trend
Experts say it’s a way to train oneself not to raise eyebrows.
A new trend has emerged on TikTok, and it entails taping one’s forehead overnight to prevent wrinkles. It has undeniably made rounds online, as most beauty enthusiasts have tried it out. More recently, a Sydney model, who calls herself Aussie Rapunzel, has also given it a shot and was indeed left surprised with the aftermath.
Joining in, the model in her video showed how she taped her forehead before going to bed each night and waking up with an instant Botox after seven days.
Olga, who runs the Natural Face Bible, had tried out the hack earlier this year [video below] and was left with a crease-free forehead. At 46, Olga looked half her age as she had judiciously taken care of her skin. Notably, people had believed she had Botox done, but it’s the taping method.

Under the comments of Rapunzel’s video with over a 3.4million views, hundreds couldn’t believe the hack actually worked and shared they would try it out.

However, experts have since also reacted to the trend, insisting it isn’t long-lasting and simply a way to train oneself not to raise eyebrows. In response to Rapunzel’s clip, plastic surgeon Anthony Youn [pictured] of the United States said the wrinkles appear to be a little better after each day but that the whole thing remains an illusion.
He added: “By putting tape on your forehead, it reminds you not to elevate your brows so high to create these lines. Putting tape on your forehead, in general, is not going to make wrinkles better; it’s not going to reduce lines. It’s just a reminder not to make them yourself.
