Is this the tape used by winter athletes to avoid frostbite on face?

I don't really know the correct answer. But, in my opinion, I don't know why anyone would put this on their face, unless they enjoy having tiny hairs ripped off their face when the tape is removed.

I have not heard of this use of Kinesio tape. The web address for Kinesio is www.kinesioproducts.com

I don't believe so - i don't see how it would work and peeling it off would be very hard on a face. It's tough enough to get it off my feet at times. I've heard that some athletes use duct tape on their skin to prevent frostbite. Of course anything would be better than exposing your skin to extreme low temps.

I highly doubt it. It has no insulative quality and would be too sticky to safely remove from your face.

Do not know. Look up this tape - Kinesio. What is does for bruises - cuts healing time in half or more. Sprains or strains - it is amazing. Strengthens over worked muscles giving support till able to carry the load again. Check it out.

I have no idea. I suggest you contact the company. Personally, I would never use it on my face.

It is not. Microfiber was absorbent and very useful while I was out in the elements. (Rain, snow, sea spray) Actually hiked and slipped dunking my lens (lightly) in the snow. Saved me from water marks on my lens and the rest of the photo shoot went well.

not sure, but i would 1sr scuff the area you will use for the tape and apply the tape during warm weather for best stick on

Hi, yes, it is a very sticky tape, I use it extensively on aftermarket turbo vehicles. It is generally used as a edging tape to the heat shield mat, they have the mat in the very same material. If you use the mat to cover the box, then use this tape to make a edging with it, it will be good. But you can also use the tape by itself, but will be expensive and not as insulate as mush as the mat. We are a modification shop, if you need more help and pictures, let me know. Aloha.

I'm no expert, but particularly with the dry air of winter, I use the serum first and overlay with something a little heavier to seal it in. The serum seems to absorb very quickly.

I do not have allergies to tape. After a bit of time ( in NY winters and using the tape over and over) it will dry my skin out. The package states " Hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested." I like it and you can go through the shower with it :-) I hope this helps. Of course always ask your MD or therapist.

For the most part yes. The only time is doesn't really work and would make me a little nervous is if you're around salt water. The tape doesn't adhere to surfaces with salt water or salty air (ie next to oceans, etc) very well.

No, it does stick to itself somewhat, but it's "pre-wrap", the stuff that goes under athetic tape...like when you are taping up an ankle, you don't want to put tape directly on the skin, so you wrap it with prewrap first and then tape over that.

I was wondering the same thing. The "rubber" look like pieces of heat shrink. The white tape is velcro.

No...the tape will peel off once training begins! The tape lasted four days for me and did not peel once! This tape is great for any sport, regiment, or recreational use.

i wondered the same thing when i got it. nowhere on the can does it say it is. and in a short search i did on the web, i became convinced that liquid nitrogen -- the kind that is used to freeze skin conditions -- exists at a much lower temperature. why the can warns that its contents are for professional use only, but is being sold without restrictions, is a mystery to me. also, the liquid nitrogen on sale online is very expensive, which this is not. good luck,

It is a heat-reflective film. However, I'm unsure if this works equally well in both directions (like insulation would.) This is a question best answered by the manufacturer. One thing that may differ is that in winter, the heat loss may be more due to conduction rather than radiation. The film would only be effective for radiative heat for the most part.

No it is not, however it is very similar. It has the same effects. I honestly think this brand is better because the wrap can actually stick to your body without tape or other adhesive.

No - it is very fur friendly and more like an ace bandage than 'tape'. There will be a bit of loose fur that will come off - but it is nothing like us having to pull a bandaid off... It really is a great product. always carry tape as you may have to secure it if there is a lot of movement.

Yes. Thus tape is removeable and best installed when the tape and glass are warm vs in the cooler temps of the night. The warmth promotes a better adhesion of the tape to the windscreen.

It's not a silly question: I was considering using this instead of another product marketed explicitly for application to feet (yours, your dog's your horse's), since Sno-Seal is a bit less expensive... but have decided to go with the other product which is labeled non-toxic/food-grade: check out Musher's Secret, here on Amazon. And yes, Musher's Secret is great for human hands and feet or even skin and hair in extreme environments, for protection from prolonged exposure to water, snow and ice or to soothe and protect rough or chapped skin, in my experience.

I do not think so...it is like a tape on your skin, the surface texture is like of band aid.
