The Ultimate Optifold Routine (Crease Training Included!)🌸

🌸 Applying Optifold

Follow these steps like your crease depends on it — because it kinda does 👁️✨

Step 1

Fully extend the skin by looking down and raising your eyebrows together. This gives you the smoothest canvas to apply the tape evenly. If your skin is not stretched flat, the tape may catch on uneven folds, which can reduce its effectiveness.

Step 1
💡 Your skin should feel tight and flat — like you're prepping a sheet for folding! The smoother the surface, the cleaner the crease hold.

Step 2

Use a table-top mirror so you can keep your chin tucked and look downward while still seeing what you’re doing clearly. This prevents you from tilting your head and accidentally distorting your skin tension while applying.

Step 2
💡 Looking downward while applying helps maintain consistent skin tension without straining your neck. Long-term comfort matters when taping daily!

Step 3

Different eyelid types may require slightly different tape angles. Here's what to keep in mind when matching the tape to your eye shape:

✨ East Asian eyelids: Apply the tape downward in a curve that connects to the inner corner of the eye. This shape helps simulate the natural mono-to-double transition zone.

✨ Occidental eyelids: Leave a small gap between the tape and the lash line to avoid interfering with lash volume and to allow a subtle top crease to build from the upper fold.

Step 4

The bottom edge of the tape should sit right above the lash line — not covering the lashes, but close enough to reinforce the natural fold. This position creates a gentle, tucked curve that mimics the natural transition of skin into crease.

Step 4
💡 Check in the mirror — the shape of the tape should resemble a soft, wingless arch. If it crumples or lifts, try reapplying while looking slightly more downward. You’re aiming for symmetry, not tension!

Step 5

Remove the front-facing liner to expose the sticky side of the f-tape. Using tweezers or a precision tool, apply the tape while stretching the upper skin gently upwards in a smooth arc. This allows the skin to mold into the tape’s curve for better hold.

Step 5A Step 5B
💡 Think of this as sealing the fold into place — a gentle arch works best, and smoothing it upward with your fingertip helps the fold take shape.

Step 6

Apply the n-tape over the f-tape so the top of your natural eye crease lines up with the middle of the f-tape. This compression reinforces the fold from above while holding everything stable during wear.

Step 6
💡 Imagine this like a sandwich: your crease gets hugged between the f-tape below and the n-tape above.

Step 7

Use your support hand to push gently downward on your eyebrow to hold the brow steady. Then, lower the legs of the n-tape and attach them slightly below the eye. You'll feel a tension pull — that’s the crease activating!

Step 7
💡 The lower you anchor the n-tape legs, the more stretch you create across the fold — but don’t overdo it! Gentle tension is enough to guide the skin memory.

💫 Removing Optifold

Step 1

Using your fingertips, gently pinch and peel off the n-tape starting from the outer edge and working inward. Move slowly to avoid disrupting the crease development.

Remove Step 1
💡 Always remove in a downward or inward motion — lifting up can tug on the skin and reverse your progress.

Step 2

Next, peel the f-tape from the outer corner toward the inner corner. Be gentle but firm — imagine you’re unrolling a scroll rather than ripping off a sticker.

Remove Step 2
💡 Smooth removals help preserve the memory line you just built — your future crease will thank you 🌸

Crease Maintenance

 Let's Get Into It 😉

✨ Eyelid Crease Exercises

1. Tracing & Holding the Crease Line

If your crease gets weaker through the day or after removing the tape, this routine will help reinforce its definition. Think of it as crease rehab 🩹

Gentle cream

Apply a tiny amount of soothing cream to your eyelid so the tool can glide comfortably.

Tool

Use a crease tool with a rounded edge — never sharp. It should feel smooth, not pokey.

Trace

Gently trace from the inner to outer corner 20 times. Only go in one direction — consistency helps reinforce muscle memory.

Hold

Now, hold the crease between your index and middle fingers for 10–15 seconds. This compression helps seal the fold.

Full Routine
💡 This whole sequence should feel relaxing — do it during your skincare routine or right after removal for best results.

2. The Looking-Up Habit

Right after applying Optifold — or when waking up and waiting for your crease to form — keep your head neutral and eyes looking forward 👀

Look Up

Avoid looking down at your phone, books, or screens. If needed, lift your device to eye level. Looking down collapses the crease when it's still soft.

💡 First 10–20 minutes after tape removal are critical — the skin is still pliable and responds to gravity!
