Acti-Tape vs KT Tape Review

These two brands, Acti-Tape N KT Tape, are tapes that helps to give support , alleviate pain , relaxes the muscles , re positioning of joints and also reduce discomfort or inflammation. It comes in multiple colors for both brands,from Nude colors to bright colors like Pink and Blue. The difference between these tapes and Chinese medical tapes is that they are stretchy,does not have those heat sensation and it is suppose to replace those boring knee guard or any types of supporters for joints etc. So what i am going to compare between these 2 brands is the packaging and material , how long it can last , how well they support and does it worth your money.

1.Packaging and Material 
For KT tape , it comes it a container if u were to purchase the synthetic material one while for the cotton one no. Synthetic ones are waterproof and can last alot longer that the cotton made.

For the Acti tape, it does not have any container that comes along with it, only have a plastic wrap to keep it in place. It feel like cotton to me.This is waterproof  and latex free. So very suitable for people whom are allergic to latex.

2.Durability 

KT-tape is able to last up till 7 days while Acti-tape can last up till 3-4 days. However when i tried i wearing , KT-tape can only be worn for like 1-2 days before i have itch so maybe KT-tape is not suitable for people with sensitive skin like mine. For Acit-tape the longest i have worn it was like 4 days before i itch. However if it is not pasted properly, it can still come of easily.

3.How well can it support?

I never used the KT-tape alone before, Usually i will mix both up to have the funky color on wherever i am putting it. As a whole , these tapes do help me a lot it giving support to my knee. It does helps to alleviate the pain when i climb stairs in compression to the other knee that does not have the tape on.

4.Worth the money?

*all currency in this section are all in sing dollars*

KT-tape cost 39.90 at Isetan and only have like 20 strips.

Acti-tape cost about 25 if not on discount at watson stores only and it is not pre-cut strips. I am unsure of how long it is, Sorry :/ 

Conclusion

For me, i would rather buy Acti tape as it is alot cheaper and also allows me to trim the size as i am very small build so the tape can last me even longer,even though some might have seen the non-precut strips for KT-Tape but i have not seen it in the place i got mine at,So if anyone know where to get the no-precut strips in singapore,do comment below :D

Even though Acti-tape lose out in the packaging , but i just placed in it the box so no different if i have the classier looking box like KT-Tapes's 

So overall Acti-tape is the one that i will continue purchasing <3 

*If  u are wondering how to use them, both brands come with instruction manual if not u can got to their website which are http://www.acti-tape.com/ or http://www.kttape.com/. However it is better to consult a doctors if these Tapes do help your conditions and whether your skin is suitable for the use of it too. 

*Some tips when using the tape is that to remember to round the corners of the tape and do not touch the adhesive as it works when it comes into contact with our body heat.

*In singapore, the used of these tapes are rare so if u got stared at etc , it is because they are most likely wondering what it is that you are pasting.

Review 1 : The Body Shop -Seaweed ionic clay mask

Lets sidetrack a bit , I have a combination skin where only my nose and cheek area are very oily and i also have acne prone skin which really suck for a girl. I have been using quite a number of mask and some acne treatment stuff and my conditions slowly improves :D So if you have a similar skin type , these products should suit you .

About the mask :  It is a grey colour looking paste with some black slits in it ,super thick and it smell alright to me. This mask cost me about S$20 if i am not wrong as i got it quite a long time.  It uses bladderwrack seaweed with 100% natural clay complex and it is suppose to 'detoxify and deep cleanse your skin where it uses natural ionic clay action to draw out impurities and control excess oil' based on the body shop website. *This mask is suitable for oily skin people

How To - Apply a thin layer over your face and leave it for 10 min and rinse of . Use it twice every week.

 
What I hate about : I love the Seaweed range by The Body Shop but i was disappointed by the effect of this mask. When u apply the mask, after about 5 min , your face will feel super tight (maybe because the dirt are being forced out) and it makes me feel scared of moving a muscles as i dun want my face to be wrinkled. It also completely dries my skin after removing it thus i suggest to put moisturiser immediately before your face becomes super oily. It is also difficult to wash off.
What I like about : It helps in decreasing the amount of oil and it also removes a lot of dirt thus leaving your face feeling clean and smooth , it also give a cooling effect which relaxes my face. I love the ocean smell that it gives off and without a timer i can also still remove on time as there will be a colour change .

Conclusion- I might not buy this mask again as it is really very expensive and it is a bit too harsh for my face . I have read some reviews that people with sensitive skin can't use this mask as it might cause breakouts , burning sensation or even red bumps. But if you are willing to spend the money on a deep cleansing mask that will remove excess oil , this can be in one of your choices :D

Do leave your comments about the product and on how i can improve for the next review . Hope you guys like it Thank You :D
