Most instances of skin irritations are a result of too much stretch being applied. The most common areas of the body when this problem arises is for the shoulder or knee joint, because there is a lot of movement through the joint. The second most likely cause of a skin irritation is when the SKINES Body Tape has been removed too aggressively. SKINES Body Tape sticks well, but it does come off quite easily if you are careful. PLEASE DON’T USE THE “BAND-AID” TECHNIQUE OF “GRIP AND RIP”.
When using any type of adhesive tape on the skin, most skin irritation occurs when the skin is subject to traction force with an aggressive removal technique. SKINES Body Tape comes off more easily when it is wet, and we recommend peeling the tape back on itself SLOWLY, in the direction of hair growth (to avoid a waxing effect guys – the girls usually know this!), and if possible, whilst supporting the skin behind the tape as it is gently eased away. If you, or your skin, is particularly sensitive, then apply some oil over the tape before removing it and the oil will break down the adhesive and make the removal much easier.
