I got NS off really quickly and easily with steam! I unwrapped the
henna after an overnight wrap, put the tea kettle on. I held my hand
in the tea kettle steam for about 20 minutes, off and on ..... and
then was able to take the whole thing off with a butterknife and
washrag. Very little was left. The remaining shreds came off by
rubbing in oil.
Usually I just shower, and that takes most of the henna and NS off ...
and whatever doesn't come off, I just rub in oil and that dislodges
even the most stubborn bits in 24 hours.
If I could find a way that nails down really delicate henna patterns
with the same precision, quickness and reliability, I'd use it! So
far .... I'll only trust my fiddliest work to NS. That .... and it
doesn't attract bees at outdoor henna gigs.
Ask your pediatrician if New Skin would be safe for your childs
ouchie. Many people find New Skin really helpful for abraided areas
that you can't stop using, .... like tennis blisters, guitar blisters,
bowling blisters. They just paint NS over the scab, and it protects
the skin and supplies a durable surface to keep using. Only your
pediatrician could say for sure whether that would be OK for a child,
though.
