Wrap firmly but not so tight that your skin squooshes in the creases.
I ask people to flex their hand outward as if they were carrying a
large hot pizza pan...so the palm is stretched out as much as
possible. Then I try to secure it into that position with the wrap.
Some people naturally have closed up (cupped rather than flexed)
hands, and that can be tough to make them flex out their hands to
avoid smearing. New Skin liquid helps that, too.
I've had more trouble with squooshing and smearing with elastic
bandages as opposed to tape and plastic bandages...because as you
sleep, you tend to contract up, and the elastic contracts with you.
Oh.....I found out why overnight works so much better than daytime!
As you fall asleep at night , your capillaries dilate, to release your body's
core heat....and that warms your skin greatly! So that's why you get your
hottest sweattiest best color henna overnight night in bed!
