1 Wash the skin area with warm, soapy water. You can use soap or body gel along with warm water to loosen the latex. Massage the area with your hands or a washcloth to loosen the latex from the skin.

If you purchased a latex kit, it is possible that the kit also includes a latex remover detergent. Regular soap will do just fine, too.

2 Carefully peel the latex off the skin. Take the edge with your fingers and pull upward to remove it from the skin. You can use a warm washcloth to soothe your skin a little while removing the latex.

Latex is very elastic, so hold the skin where you are removing latex with your fingers or a washcloth to reduce soreness.
The longer the latex has been on the skin, the easier it can be to remove; sweat and natural oils from the skin will weaken the latex over time.

3 Saturate the area of skin from which the latex cannot be removed. If latex has adhered to body hair, soak skin in warm soapy water and massage gently. Pay special attention to the hairline, eyebrows, and other sensitive areas. Do not yank latex or you risk pulling out your hair.

4 After removing latex, rinse skin with warm water. This will remove any small particles that might still be on your skin or hair. Pat your skin dry with a dry towel.

Method 2 of 2: Preparing for Easy Latex Removal

1 Select the area where you plan to apply latex. Since latex is particularly difficult to remove from the hairline, shaving before shaving will greatly facilitate the subsequent procedure. Shave the hair on your legs, arms, and face to relieve pain in the future.
- Even areas of the skin that appear to have no hair have almost invisible fine hairs on which latex will anchor. Don't forget to shave your back, belly, etc.
2 Moisturize your skin before applying latex. A good moisturizer just before applying latex will also help you remove it easier later on. Lubricate your skin and hair with lotion so that the latex does not adhere strongly to them.
3 Use oil to protect sensitive areas. If you don't want latex to stick firmly to your eyebrows, eyelids, and other sensitive areas, use olive, almond, or whatever oil you have on hand to protect them. Be careful not to grease the areas you want to cover with a perfect latex coat.
