Peel the edge of the tape back, forming a small triangle. Supporting the skin adjacent to the tape, glide a small amount of moisturizer on the leading (peel) edge of the tape. This is often enough to soften the adhesive and release it from hair.

How do you remove bandage adhesive from sensitive skin?

Soak a cotton swab or cotton ball in baby oil, and gently rub it over the tape/bandage until it falls off. If you don’t have baby oil, you can use olive oil or coconut oil as well. You can test to see if the bandage is coming off by slowly peeling a corner.
