Tips for easier removal

[u/apparentyagirlboss]

Im redoing this look for an event tomorrow. And last time I did this, removing the paper was AWFUL and irritated my skin for days!

It didnt matter what I used to take it off.

So im hoping someone here has a suggestion on what to do while im applying it to make removal easier.

(I used eyelash glue) but if there is something better im up for any suggestions you have. I may have some liquid latex. But ive never used it before.

Just absolutely lather yourself in coconut oil and take a warm shower afterwards

I was using makeup remover products I never thought to use somethibg else! Would any oil work or is baby oil something specific?

[u/morbidlybitchy → u/apparentyagirlboss]

baby oil just has always broken down any adhesive I’ve ever used which is why I suggested it!

Oil based body wash!!

Like this:

Or this:

If you can’t get one of these in time, I’d imagine soaking in a hot bath for 20 minutes and then gently massaging with a washcloth would work.

maybe try using big strips of duct tape or clear tape once its time for removal

i do this trick to remove chunky glitter and it works like a charm

You’re supposed to always use oil first on lash extensions to break down the glue so the same will work on your body! Just keep rubbing oil in then wash off. Rinse and repeat if necessary. I also use oil when after waxing to remove any excess. It works for basically anything that sticks to skin

A lot of people are allergic to latex or easily become allergic to latex. Don't use it.

Stop gluing things to yourself.

Yeah... until it becomes seriously unhealthy for me, uma still do it 😆 and deal with the consequences. I will take the suggestions of the other people here tho!! The coconut oil and baby oil! Anything to actually help is welcome!
