A hair and beauty content creator stunned folks across Mzansi when she shared a hack for a facelift without surgery. The method involves taking a stretchy band and taping the area above the eyes. This results in a facelift look, but South Africans couldn't understand why someone would do such a thing.

Beauty content for life

TikTokker ms_siyaa shared a clip of her bizarre method that had Mzansi in a stir. Her other content is a lot more tame and realistic compared to the video she shared. A lot of people also commented on the contact lenses she used. People all over the comments section were trying to figure out why the lady would do such.

Consistency is everything

What's interesting about the TikTokker's account, is that the videos are similar to the face-lifting one in format. She has a clip of herself applying a magnetic wig, which latches onto the scalp of a person with ease. The other clips are of her trying on conventional wigs with different techniques to make them look seamless.

The beauty content creator has done quite well for herself. Her videos have thousands of views, and some have reached millions. The lady has over 900,000 followers and has received almost 10 million likes across her videos on TikTok.

Popularity of face tape grows

Face taping isn't a new trend. It's been used for decades in theatre and by makeup artists to create lifted, youthful looks. Recently, it has gained popularity on platforms like TikTok, where users demonstrate how to apply tape to the sides of the face for an instant facelift effect. Popular influencers like Chloe Waters have showcased dramatic before-and-after transformations using this method. While the technique offers temporary results, dermatologists caution that it doesn't provide long-term benefits and may cause skin irritation. Even so, many find it a quick fix for special occasions.

Tape facelift trick stuns TikTok users

After a lady showed off the hack, Mzansi peeps were left doing mental gymnastics. Some netizens were shocked by the creativity, and others were like, “Is this really necessary?” The clip had people debating how far people are willing to go to meet beauty standards.
