A TikTok viral 10p Botox tip is a load of rubbish – it won’t make you look 10 years younger overnight

A POPULAR anti-ageing method has been debunked by a medical professional.

The cosmetic dermatology and aesthetics specialist shared the truth behind the viral hack.

Dr. Nora, cosmetic dermatologist and aesthetician, holding a syringe.

Speaking on The School Runway podcast, Dr. Nora explained the myth behind the beauty technique.

When asked by hosts Bronagh and Cara about the concept of face taping, she revealed why it isn’t the miracle solution most people think it is.

In fact, it only works as a preventative method rather than an age reversing step.

Dr. Nora described the supposed science behind face taping as “a load of rubbish.”

Instead, she recommended using steps such as facial massaging to help boost your skin’s elasticity.

“[People] do Gua Sha and lymphatic drainage, which is amazing for circulation,” she explained.

The medical expert added that these techniques help to “reduce fine lines and wrinkles.”

She also swears by FaceGym, which involves stimulating the facial muscles to temporarily improve tone and make the skin appear plumper.

“I try to do a couple of Face Gyms every now and then because I’m someone who retains water and my face does get puffy,” she said.

“Especially if I’ve eaten a lot of salt or been out drinking or partying because I haven’t slept very well.”

Dr. Nora explained that these activities “really show” on her face.

“So lymphatic drainage is important for genuine contouring and definition and maintaining that elasticity in your face,” she explained.

On the other hand, she explained why face taping is not a solution to existing fine lines or wrinkles.

“I guess if you’re going to sleep and you’re rubbing your face on a pillow, over time and over the years, you are going to develop fine lines and wrinkles on the sides that you sleep on,” she said.

“However, face taping is not going to make you look 10 years younger, which I think some people are trying to claim it does.”

Biggest skincare trends for 2025

Face The Future’s Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.

1. Exosomes 

Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they’re a gamechanger for targeting ageing.

2. Streamlined Skincare

The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we’ll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.

3. Vegan Collagen 

Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums.

4. The Rise Of AI

AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.

5. Hair Loss Solutions – 

Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it’s no longer just something we’re talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.

Bronagh and Cara also brought up the idea of sleeping with your mouth taped.

While Dr. Nora had never heard of the concept before she disputed the description the hosts gave her.

“So it helps with your circulation because you’re breathing through your nose, you’re not breathing through your mouth,” Bronagh said.

“They’re saying as well that it helps with contouring your cheeks in because they’re not [puffing out] when you’re asleep.”

Dr. Nora confirmed that their is no science to back this claim.

You can purchase 18 pieces of face tape is available for as little as £1.51 from Temu.

Armen Sarkisyan – the creator of the pro-Putin Arbat battalion – was killed in the deadly blast on Monday.

Sarkisyan, 46, was known for using his troops to fight in the battleground Donetsk region of Ukraine and Kursk region of Western Russia.

The “death squad” chief was in the Scarlet Sails apartment complex when the bomb was detonated – where a penthouse is valued at £2million.

He was rushed to hospital and reportedly died after falling into a coma, according to multiple Russian media outlets.

Sarkisyan had suffered severe head and chest wounds following the huge blast.

This Putin puppet paramilitary leader was believed to be the target of a Ukrainian led assassination.

One bodyguard was also killed in the blast and three others were injured, according to Reuters.

Terrifying images showed the damage caused the the apartment block’s lobby.

Glass was shattered and the ceilings had started to collapse.

Armenian-born Sarkisyan is considered by Kyiv to be one of the organisers of pro-Russian “titushki” gangs and “death squads” that hunted the participants of the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine in 2014.

The paramilitary leader has also been described as an “associate” of the toppled pro-Putin former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, according to Ukraine’s SBU security service.

The SBU has previously revealed Sarkisyan had reportedly been  appointed as “‘watcher’ of prisons in the occupied Donetsk region”.

It added: “He created the Arbat battalion from recruited convicts, who fought in the Torets direction, and later stormed the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region.

“He is suspected of participating in illegal armed formations and aiding an aggressor state. The search and work to bring him to justice are ongoing.”

Footage of Antony’s passionate celebration emerges as Man Utd flop is named Player of the Match on Real Betis debut

ANTONY kicked off his Real Betis career in style with a passionate celebration and a man of the match performance.

The Manchester United flop has joined the Spanish club on loan until the end of the season.

Antony made his debut in last night’s 2-2 draw with Athletic Bilbao.

And he made an instant impact, playing a crucial role in the opening goal of the game after just 14 minutes.

The Brazilian winger chased down an over-hit pass before cutting in and unleashing a powerful low shot.

His strike drew a save from Unai Simon and Isco was able to tap in the rebound for Betis.

Antony let out his emotion, turning to his new fans while smacking his chest and letting out a huge celebratory roar.

The £85million man continued to impress in the first-half and brilliantly created a chance for Johnny Cardoso with an-inch perfect through ball.

Antony, who managed 72 minutes before being subbed off for Abde Ezzalzouli, was given the man of the match award for his performance.

Man Utd fans were left shocked by the instant turnaround, with one saying: “Theatre of killing dreams.”

Another added: “United is a curse.”

More reacted: “Hopefully his performance will generate interest in him in the summer or make him a better player when he returns to United.”

Ex-Premier League boss and his new manager Manuel Pellegrini also praised Antony, saying: “I think it was a very positive debut. He’s a quality player.

“I was talking to him just before the game. I think a good player doesn’t have to be constantly showing off his skills with the ball.

“He has to play a good game, make few mistakes and do two or three important things: a goal, a good pass, a good cross.

“I think he was very involved today.

“He had just arrived a couple of days before and I think he’s going to contribute a lot to us.”

Betis reportedly do not have an option to buy included in the loan deal and United are still paying 16 per cent of his £200,000-a-week salary.
