Tori Spelling has taken to using face tape to mimic the effect of a facelift.
Tori Spelling was very impressed with the results of an “old Hollywood” beauty trick that mimics the effects of a facelift.
The 52-year-old actress hasn’t gone under the knife to make her face look younger but recently remembered a tip her late friend Shannen Doherty – who died of breast cancer in 2024 – had passed on and decided to give it a go.
Speaking on her MisSPELLING podcast, Tori said: “So you guys, you know how facelift is like the big thing right now?
“I have not gone down that road before, as I’ve talked about publicly.
“I kind of get backlash for people thinking I’ve had more plastic surgery and fixes to my face than I have, so I tend to go less and then be really mad in my head when my skin doesn’t look smooth like every other actress out there.
“Anyway, so I remembered that, back when we were doing a photoshoot, my close friend, Shan Dougherty — Shan would be fine with me telling this story — she said, ‘Oh, you know, a quick fix.’ And I said, ‘What?’ She goes, ‘Face tape.’ “
Tori decided to try it out for herself at a post-Academy Awards party and urged others to try it too.
She said: “So [my make-up artist] put on this face tape … they pulled my tape on one side of my neck with a string to the other side of the neck, and then you twist the string under the hair in the back to suck you back and in.
“Prime that s***. It works.”
Tori also recalled seeing June Lockhart, who played her grandmother on Beverly Hills, 90210, use face tape before filming too.
She said: “And I remembered on 90210, June played my grandmother. Like legend, just passed away recently in last year, 100 years old, amazing actress, great career.
“And they had — it was like, literally tape stickers that they would put on her face and then tuck it behind her hair.
“And I remember I didn’t want to say anything, but I was like, watching intently as a young 20-year-old going, ‘What is that?’ And the makeup and hair stylist, they were like, ‘Oh, yes. These are what, you know, big actresses do … This is like old Hollywood, and it’s very in, and it works.’
“And I was like, ‘That’s amazing. Store that one away.’ So when Shan told me she used it, I was like, ‘I know those.’ “
