You get New Skin off your skin the same way you get chewing gum out of your hair. Oil. Cocoa butter is my favorite. I rinse my hands when I unwrap and that loosens everything up. Then I oil and rub 3 or 4 times through the morning. That takes it all off. If you do latex over New Skin, pulling off the latex pulls off the NS. Don't get impatient and rub and scrub! NS will come off in a day even if you ignore it and just let it flake off with the flexing of your skin. One day's annoyance with New Skin, is, to me, worth being sure that delicate complex patterns will NOT smear, and will be very dark and absolutely pristine. NS is not the answer for every henna situation. It does, however, provide an excellent solution to several problems. It's best for situations where speed and accuracy are crucial, and outdoor hennaeing where lemon-sugar would draw bees.
