Should I apply mouth tape before or after brushing my teeth?
Answered by Evident Team· 1 month ago
After. You want the tape to be the last step in your bedtime routine. Brush your teeth, do your skincare, let your lips dry for 30 seconds, then apply. The tape adheres best to clean, dry skin — toothpaste residue, lip balm, or moisturizer on or around your lips will weaken the bond and increase the chance of the tape peeling off overnight. If you use a heavy night cream, apply it everywhere except the lip area, then tape.
