    best way to store nanoskin

    Did some searching and didn't find quite the answer I was looking for. I was thinking I would place a piece of aluminum foil over the sticky part of the mitt, then store it in the plastic container it came in. Will the foil stick to the material or peel right off next time I go to use it? Thanks!

    Edit - I should mention that in my searching someone mentioned wax paper...I don't have any, but do have foil and parchment paper, which is why my question. However, I'll go pick up some wax paper if that is the best method.

    The container was pretty tight on mine, like smushed the mitt against both sides of the plastic. We could have different packaging, but I might give this a try...it was one of my original thoughts.

    +1 (for the mitts)
    For the smaller sponges that come in a little ziplock bag that doesn't fit them, I just store them sticky side up in a drawer and it works fine for me.

    It doesn't stick to the bag? My Speed Prep Nanoskin sponges seem to stick to anything plastic. They are quite annoying to store. If they don't stick to zip lock bags I will be very happy !

    Re: best way to store nanoskin

    I've found that one of the cheapest and easiest ways to store them is in a large ziplock bag. If you use a large enough bag or other type of container, you won't have to fold the towels and can mitigate it sticking to itself and or the container. Regardless of how you store it, soaking in some warm water first will help release the rubber from the storage container. If you are using it often you can keep it stored in a container with a solution of ONR or your preferred lubricant.
