Removing tape

If cared for properly, your Kinesio Tex Tape application can be worn for a minimum of 2-3 days

Begin slowly removing the tape in the direction of hair growth

Use one hand to remove the tape and the other hand to oppress against the skin

Gently rubbing the skin after the application is removed can reduce sensitivity

If preferred, you can also apply olive oil or baby oil to the application before removing. The oil will help breakdown the tape’s adhesive properties prior to removal

Do not remove tape to quickly as this can irritate the skin
