When i put tape on my face, and look at the tape it is dirty. Is that my skin cells or the tape glue?

Question

Put scotch tape on your face(usually dirty) then rip it off gently, Now look at the tape. WHaT IS ON IT? is it the glues reaction to the skin or dead skin cells or what?!!?!?!

Answer 1

You are probably pulling of dead skin cells

Skin is always growing and every day a new layer of skin die's which is why you shower to get rid of the dead skin.

which is why people exfoliate as only so much can be taken off when you wash

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Sometimes but dont always do it. It will take off some of the dead cells but i suggest using face cleansers. DON'T use scotch tape or any of that kind that are specially used for taping objects, use the felt tape; it's safer for skin. And remember to take it off after 30 min, an hour at most. If not, the tape will leave a sticky residue that's visible on your skin.

Answer 4

It;s the skin cells that the tape pulls off. The skin cells on the tape are most probably dead, so don't worry.

Answer 5

I can imagine it's a mixture of the glue on the tap and some dead or dry skin cells. Everyone has those! Everyone also has a little grease/oil on their skin that you might not be able to see but it's also on that tape.

Answer 6

I think that it's probably your dead skin cells. You need to exfoliate your skin to get that layer off of your skin. Try using the new Neutrogena Deep Clean invigorating foaming scrub. It works great. I love it! you should give it a try.

Answer 7

It's dead skin cells and dirt or makeup that you're wearing.

Answer 8

I think it's probably dead skin cells. However, that's probably not the best way to exfoliate.

Good luck!!
