SecondSkin Stage
Leave the protective film on for 48-72 hours. Shower normally, avoiding submerged baths or ocean water. Plasma buildup inside the bandage is completely normal.
Gentle Wash & Moisturize
Remove film gently under warm running water. Wash with mild unscented antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel. Apply a micro-thin layer of Hustle Butter or Aquaphor.
Flaking & Peeling
Do not scratch or pick flaking ink. Stay out of direct Barbados sun and avoid swimming at the beach until peeling is 100% complete.
