Can I please ask what you use to get the glue off your skin?
I’m currently using almond oil but it takes forever and I’m wondering whether I’m missing a trick.
Many thanks

Baby oil

Whatheactualchuff · 24/01/2023 13:46

Thanks for that, I guess I’ll stick with the oil then

Zoff wipes from Amazon do the trick perfectly.

Baby oil here too, but I've heard others extoll nail varnish remover.

Surgical Spirit. Gone with one wipe.

I am covered in little black squares! Just assumed it was something to just put up with! Plonker!

Baby oil, if you use plenty it comes off very easily.

My mum has a colostomy bag and gets SALTS adhesive spray remover to take the sticky stuff off from around her stoma. She loaned me a spray one day and it was excellent at removing my HRT patch glue, so I bought some. It's about £8 but lasts forever as its only one squirt twice a weeks when the patch gets changed.

I find Clinique purple take the day off make up remover is the only thing that works for me. All it takes is a soak with a wipe and it all rubs off easily.

The easiest way is to rub over the skin with the patch you've just taken off. Pulls off the excess glue.
Moisturise after.

Chapstick! Works brilliantly.

I use baby oil, or I just rub the patch over the sticky glue to remove it.
