I use breathe right and I find it washes off with soap and water and slightly rough washcloth or facial scrub sponge.
Use cold cream, baby oil or any oil based product, like olive oil.
Easy - scotch tape. Apply scotch tape to area with adhesive and pull. Off! Oil was too messy.
Great tip, it really worked well!!!
I don't understand? Where exactly do you place the scotch tape? Over the strip to remove, or under the strip when first putting it on? Unsure...Please help. Thank you!
After you take the strip off your nose, use the scotch tape to remove the glue that remains on your nose
It may be 5 years later, but your advice is appreciated!
Yes! Scotch tape works! Thanks
I have used the washcloth scrub and cold cream methods and still find it doesn't remove completely. It's after I've applied my powder foundation that I can see the glue still :-(
Tea Tree Oil will remove all the stickiness left behind, and it would be a better option (mixed with an oil like baby oil) to remove the entire strip also from the delicate skin on the nose.
Try the cellophane tape method. I use a strip of Scotch clear packing tape. Place the tape right on the sticky goo on the side of your nose, rub it a bit to pick up all the goo and then just rip the scotch tape off. The adhesive gunk comes off with the cellophane tape.
Any kind of "gluey stuff" will come right off your skin with Tea Tree Oil.
When removing those strips off your nose, you really don't want to rip them off *you want to do it gently* because it only will take one too many times of doing that, that you'll break blood vessels in the skin on your nose, as that skin is very thin, and that will cause those tiny "spider veins as they call it" to be present.
Oil of any kind, baby oil, vegetable oil, olive oil, those will work, but tea tree oil will get off any and ALL residue of the glue.
Scotch tape may work at lifting up the Breathe right Adhesive strip from ones nose, BUT...the more one does it that way, the more one risks breaking blood vessels in that thin skin that covers the nose.
If oils like were mentioned (olive oil, baby oil cold creams) leave a residue of stickiness still on your skin, *Tea Tree Oil* will remove the strip and the sticky glue extremely easily by gently rubbing around the strip until it loosens up, and without damaging your skin.
Why on earth would you think you need scotch tape to remove the strip? That doesn't even make any sense. You use the scotch tape to grab the sticky residue left behind.
Use baby powder. Rub it on with Kleenex, then rub off the glue in circles.
TAPE. SCOTCH TAPE. I have tried fingernail polish remover and even that didn't work. Scotch tape works best.
The cellophane technique works pretty good. Doesnt really pull on your skin like people think, not gonna do any real damage.
But the best way Ive found to remove the strip and glue is this: leave the strip on and go sweat.
