Paint on details like wrinkles or bruises. You can apply grease paint all over for full-bodied looks.
If you still are having trouble removing the latex, try dabbing some rubbing alcohol over the latex. Use a cotton ball or swab, and lightly rub some rubbing alcohol over the latex. This should help loosen it from your skin.
