Temporary tattoos are fun to have. They are a great way to dress up for a party or even for a family vacation. Unfortunately, they can be difficult to remove. However, there are several ways to get rid of temporary tattoos. Using some home remedies, you can make a fake tattoo disappear from your skin quickly and easily.
You can use cold cream, rubbing alcohol, or baby oil to remove temporary tattoos. You should also avoid applying chemicals like acetone, if your skin is sensitive. This method might cause your skin to react, making your skin red and irritated.
After you have applied the cold cream, hold it on your tattoo for at least one minute. Then, wipe the area with a clean, dry cloth. If any oil remains, you can wash it off with soap and water.
When you are ready to remove the tape, you should start peeling it off one corner at a time. Do not rub or touch your tattoo when it is still wet. Once the tape has been peeled off, hang the pieces of tape off a table or other surface.
Before you apply any chemical remover, it is important to note that you should not use a remover on any part of your body that has been broken or cracked. Any skin irritation caused by the removal of the masking tape should be addressed immediately. Depending on the quality of the temporary tattoo, it may take several applications before it is removed.
If you are worried that you might break your temporary tattoo, you can try a product that has lactic acid. Products with this acid increase the cell turnover of your skin. These products are especially beneficial if you have a tattoo on your face. Another alternative is a product that contains glycolic acid. While these products may be useful for more serious cases, you should not use them for removing temporary tattoos.
Another option for removing your temporary tattoo is to use a cotton ball. Place the cotton ball in a drop of nail polish remover and rub it on your tattoo. In some instances, rubbing the tattoo with a towel can help it to peel off.
Alternatively, you can use a paper towel to peel off the tattoo. It is important to note that the paper should not stick to the tattoo, as this will only prevent you from removing the ink. Make sure that the paper is wet.
Lastly, you can use a homemade scrub to get rid of your temporary tattoo. Coffee grounds or brown sugar are common exfoliants. Or, you can use a washcloth and an old cotton shirt to get the ink off.
As with most other treatments, it is important to make sure that you do not move the ink when it is wet. You can also use a hair spray after the temporary tattoo has dried. Just make sure that the spray is not too strong and that the spray does not stick to your tattoo.
