How to use Sarco Skin Tape

1. APPLY A TEST STRIP

 

-If this is your first time using Sarco Skin kinesiology tape, place a small test strip somewhere easy to monitor – we recommend your arm, to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients/materials.
When applying a test strip, leave it on for a full day – if you notice irritation or pain whatsoever, take off the tape right awa.

   

 2. TRIM THE CORNERS

 

-This will help prevent the tape from catching on clothing or peeling up.

​

 3. TRIM, MOVE OR REMOVE EXCESS HAIR

-Depending on where you are applying the kinesiology tape, you may need to take care of the hair in the area beforehand.  This will greatly help adhesion time.

​

 4. CLEAN AND DRY THE SKIN

-Before you place your kinesiology tape, make sure that the application area is clean, free of lotions or oils, and is completely dry.
-If you are applying Sarco Skin shortly after working out, wait until your body is done sweating before placing the product.
-PLACE THE TAPE AT LEAST 1 HOUR BEFORE EXERCISING
This gives the adhesive time to strengthen its hold, and the active ingredients to start working.

 

5. RECOMMENDED STRETCH

-Sarco Skin is latex free and works best with a 25% stretch.

 

 6. REMOVING SARCO SKIN TAPE

-Make sure the tape is COMPLETELY dry.

-DO NOT use any oils to assist in removing.
