How to Remove Fake Facial Hair

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Erin on behalf of Expert Village. Today we are going to work on the application of facial hair. Basically, what you're going to need to do, we're going to have to remove this properly. Now spirit gum, it can be kind of painful if you don't remove it properly, so that's why we are going to go through the steps here. Basically, I like to use a little bit of 99% alcohol. And, I like to have at least a pretty straight edge brush here. Let's see if we can get a pretty stiff brush. This is pretty stiff. So dip it in your 99% alcohol. What you're going to do is you're going to work downwards, like so. And kind of just shovel it, kind of like scrape at it. You're not hurting the face because it's a soft tip brush. See how it's pulling it off and it's also dissolving. 99% alcohol and acetone, which I don't recommend using acetone unless you really need to, but it pulls, it's the only thing that's really going to get this off, besides if you want to sit here and soak your face with hot water and soap. So this is the easiest way. 99% alcohol cannot be found in stores, not unless you're out in LA, I think. They have the special stores, like secrets and whatnot. Usually you have to order them offline from some of the special effects online websites. See how that's pulling off really easily. Just keep doing it until you get it all cleared out. Once you're done with cleaning off all the facial hair, you are going to want to cleanse the face probably, and tone it and moisturize again, so there is no damage to the face. Basically, that is your application to facial hair and safe removal."
