If you see people on TikTok tapping their faces to apply beauty products, then they're probably practicing "bone tapping". This technique, inspired by Chinese acupuncture, is said to improve the appearance of skin and even slow its ageing.

Bone tapping, also known as face tapping, involves tapping different areas of the face with your fingers, such as the cheekbones, forehead and jawline.
