: How do you guys get this stuff off??

Opinions vary hugely on the whole NewSkin topic. I find the spray
too difficult to remove, which is why I use the liquid version. Some
say that the spray comes off with the latex if you cover in that too
(wait for the spray to dry, then dab on liquid latex - I find the
very watery stuff works best).

You can always try what the spray says - spray on some more and rub,
but I reckon it costs too much to use this way. Otherwise, one friend
suggests that showering before removal can soften the whole multi-
layer package (latex, NewSkin, henna), making it easier to remove.

Yes, that's right - you can shower safely if you use latex over the
NewSkin. I even once opted for putting latex back over the design
just after henna removal. Seemed to work just fine.

So, get the liquid version and see if you like that better. Only
catch is it takes much longer to apply than the spray.

Cheers, Jeremy

P.S. The picture above (taken this morning) shows just a few tiny
bits of liquid NewSkin round the edges. Whole thing only took about
10 minutes to clean up. I just used a little bit of soapy water and
my fingernails.
