Removing the adhesive tape can be quite painful, and dealing with any lingering discomfort only makes the problem more difficult. Fortunately, there are many ways to remove remaining glue. Either way, be careful only to gently press the tape and use it when it is scratched. Whether it is wiped or shaved will affect your skin. Different types of adhesives need a different treatment, so don't be discouraged if you fail the first attempt. With a little time and effort you will be able to get rid of this nasty glue.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Take home remedies

1. 

   Soak in warm water. Warm water and moisture can soften the adhesive of many tapes. One easy way to soak the sticky skin in warm water is to simply take a bath or shower. The adhesive will come off on its own, otherwise you need to scrub gently with a towel or soft sandpaper.
   • If you don't have time to shower, just pour warm water into a bowl or pan and soak the area of ​​the skin to be removed. This works best if you can soak the adhesive for a long time. Try it while you are reading or watching TV.

2. 

   
   
   Cover with a thin layer of cooking oil. A few drops of olive oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, coconut oil, or sunflower seed oil can help remove adhesive from the skin. Some adhesives are oil-soluble. Others lose adhesion when oil gets between the glue and the skin.
   • For best results, use a soft cloth or cotton ball to gently scrub the affected area with the cooking oil. You don't need too much oil - just a thin layer on the skin, stop soaking in the oil. Let the oil soak for a minute or two before rubbing it gently with a soft cloth or cotton ball. Repeat as needed to allow all the glue to come off.

3. 

   
   
   Apply ice over the adhesive area. Wrap the ice in a paper towel so it doesn't stick to your skin and let it sit for 5 minutes. The stone will harden the adhesive and come off. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Use regular skin care products

1. 

   Soak the sticky area in baby oil. Baby balm works like cooking oil, it also loosens or loosens glue from the skin. Another benefit is that most baby oils are very gentle, making them a great choice for sensitive skin.
   • Most baby oils are only mineral oils with a small amount of scent. You can use pure mineral oil instead of baby oil; it's usually a bit cheaper.
   • If you are taking adhesive from baby skin, try adding a few drops of dye with conditioner and "painting" over the sticky area. The oil will loosen the glue and the coloring will be a delightful entertainment.

2. 

   
   
   Use a mild lotion. Since most lotions are derived from oils or fats (fats), they can remove glue just like baby oil or cooking oil. Apply some lotion, leave it on for a few minutes, then rub with a soft cloth or cotton ball.
   • A fragrance free cream is the best option. The chemicals used to create flavors can cause pain and a rash in sensitive skin.

3. 

   Use a warm compress with baby oil, lotion, or some cooking oil. Since warmth exfoliates many types of adhesive from bandages, you can use it to make them more effective. Warm water will wash away the oil or lotion, so use a warm compress instead. Our article details simple ways to make a warm compress.
   • Pour dry rice into a long sock. Tie the top of the sock tightly to keep the rice inside. Microwave the gauze pad for more than 30 seconds until it warms up, but not too hot to handle. Place the gauze gauze over the sticky skin after it has been applied with oil or lotion.
   • Place a cloth between the gauze and the skin if you are worried about oily socks.

Method 3 of 3: Use a chemical product

1. 

   Apply alcohol. Also known as isopropyl alcohol, this popular household cleaner is fairly inexpensive and can be found at grocery or discount stores. Alcohol is very effective at peeling off some types of glue. Apply a little rubbing alcohol with a cotton swab or alcohol, let it sit for a while, and then rub gently to remove the glue.
   • Alcohol can be dry and irritating, especially in thin areas like your face. Just apply a few drops and leave on skin when using.

2. 

   Moisten with nail polish remover. The main ingredient in most nail polish removers is acetone, a chemical solvent. Acetone also acts as a solubilizer for many common glues, flaking contacts. Apply a small amount to the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes, then continue gently to remove the glue.
   • Acetone also has the ability to dry out and cause irritation when applied to the skin like alcohol, so use it with care.
   • If you find pure acetone, it works just like nail polish remover.
   • Be careful when using acetone; This is flammable so it should not be used with heat.
   • Avoid using acetone-free nail polish removers as they will not contain the solvents required to remove residual adhesive.

3. 

   Petroleum wax coating. Products like Vaseline that are made from petroleum jelly work like oils and lotions to help remove the glue from the skin. One characteristic effect is that the petroleum wax is quite thick, so it is easy to leave it on for long periods (although the viscosity will be unpleasant for some). Simply apply a thin layer over the affected area and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then wipe off with a soft cloth or paper towel.
   • Petroleum-based wax can provide very good moisture, so it won't dry out your skin.

4. 

   Use medical glue remover. These products are specially made to remove the types of adhesive found in bandages. Colloidal bleach is usually manufactured as a spray or disposable towel. They are a bit more expensive and difficult to find than the methods above, but work very well.
   • You can find these products at your local pharmacy. If not, there are plenty of options for you to order online. The price of each product is quite varied, but it is always about 2000-4000 VND per bottle or pack.

5. 

   Wash with soapy water after using chemicals. Many chemical products (especially alcohol, acetone, and some glue removers) can cause skin irritation if they are in contact with the skin for too long. To avoid irritation, be sure to wash your skin with soap and water after using these chemicals. This will help to remove the chemical from the skin and reduce irritation.
   • If you cannot remove all the glue from your skin in one go, wait a day before reapplying harsh chemicals. The pause will allow your skin to rest and heal. Also, combine a chemical with one of the gentler solutions.
   • Use a moisturizer after washing with soap and water as soap can dry out your skin.

• Alcohol is also sometimes available in the form of convenient medical towels. Look for "alcohol towels" or "alcohol swabs" at the first aid counter at your local grocery store.

Warning

• Alcohol and nail polish remover will hurt open wounds, abrasions or sensitivity.
• Alcohol can damage soft fabrics. Carefully apply to the sticky skin and throw away the used cotton ball.
