Why Prepping Your Skin Is Essential for Sculpting Strips Success

When it comes to getting the most out of your Sculpting Strips, preparation is everything! Just like a painter needs a clean canvas, your skin needs to be properly prepped for the strips to work their magic. Here’s why it’s important—and how to do it right.

Why Skin Prep Matters

The Sculpting Strips rely on a secure adhesive to lift the skin and promote lymphatic drainage and circulation. But dirt, oil, sweat, or lotion can weaken the adhesive, causing the strips to peel or lose effectiveness. Proper skin preparation ensures:

  • Better Adhesion: Clean skin helps the strips stay in place longer.
  • Maximum Results: Prepping allows the strips to work directly on your skin, enhancing their benefits.
  • Comfortable Wear: Proper prep minimizes the chances of irritation or peeling.

How to Prep Your Skin

1️⃣ Shower and Dry Off Completely
Start with a clean slate by taking a shower and drying your skin thoroughly. Pay extra attention to areas where you plan to apply the strips—no sweat, lotion, or oil should remain.

2️⃣ Use Rubbing Alcohol
If you’re short on time or can’t shower, rubbing alcohol is your go-to solution! Gently wipe the area with a cotton pad soaked in rubbing alcohol to remove any oils or residues. Let it air-dry completely before applying the strips.

Extra Skin Prep Tips

💡 Avoid Lotions and Creams: Keep your skin bare. Even “light” products can affect adhesion.
💡 Remove Excess Hair: Hair can interfere with how well the strips stick, so consider trimming or shaving the area (carefully!) beforehand.
💡 Stay Dry: Make sure your skin is fully dry before applying. A little patience goes a long way!

Why It’s Worth It

Prepping your skin isn’t just about making the strips stick—it’s about helping them work at their full potential. By taking a few minutes to clean your skin before application, you’ll enjoy:

✨ Longer-lasting wear (up to 5 days per application!)
✨ Better skin toning, smoothing, and firming results
✨ A more comfortable, hassle-free experience
