    How to get bioglitter to stick to your face, body & hair

    If you would like to apply your bioglitter in a specific area or you are applying a loose bioglitter, you will need to prep your skin.

    Primer - This classic cosmetic base may do the trick for fine bioglitters that don’t need to stick with a detailed pattern. Once the primer and bioglitter are applied, seal it in with setting spray.

    Hair gel - If you are applying large bioglitter flakes and want them in specific shapes or in distinct areas, paint on a thin layer of hair gel, then apply your loose bioglitter and let it dry. You can also use hairspray for extra hold.

    Petroleum jelly - Easily applied just like hair gel. It’s cheap and works well for thick bioglitter. Conveniently, you probably have some in your bathroom right now. Smear it onto the area you want to add some sparkle, then apply your bioglitter.

    Lip balm - Want to apply bioglitter to a smaller area  and apply it easily? Lip balm makes an excellent “glue” for areas like under your eyes and on your collar bones.

    Hand sanitizer - This bioglitter primer is your non-sticky alternative. Just apply the hand sanitizer gel, then dust on the bioglitter and let it dry.

    Eyelash glue - For applying large glittery pieces such as rhinestones or sequins,  step away from any non-cosmetic glue and use eyelash glue instead. It holds strong, but doesn’t harm your skin.

    How to apply Sparkle Me bioglitter

    Once you’ve selected your bioglitter, it’s time to put it on & sparkle!

    To apply loose bioglitter to the skin or hair, you can use a small paintbrush, a makeup brush, toothbrush or your fingertips.

    Be patient - glittering up takes time! ...unless you want substantial amounts of bioglitter, pouring loose bioglitter is more likely to make a mess (and waste the product) than give you a smooth and even coverage.

    For best results, apply bioglitter in small amounts and let each layer dry before adding another. Dust off any excess powder as you go. Apply your bioglitter from the base upwards so gravity doesn't pull your glitter into areas you don’t want. 

    If you need to clean up ('coz it got everywhere), use baby oil or olive oil to wipe away excess bioglitter.

      How to remove Sparkle Me bioglitter 

      When removing loose bioglitter from skin, it’s best to use oil on a cotton pad - baby oil, olive oil or coconut oil work well. The oil will help break down whatever adhesive is holding on your bioglitter and it lets you wipe it away without scratching your skin or having your body glitter start migrating in other places.

      or

      Face - Wash off with a mild soap and water. Wet wipes tend to just rub it round the face and irritate the skin.​

      Body - Wash off using your usual body wash. 

      Hair - Wash off using your usual shampoo.

      Beard - Wash it out with mild soap and water.

      For large sparkles, like chunky bioglitter, sequins and metallic confetti, try using cellotape. Gently lifting the pieces off with tape strips helps you avoid over exfoliating your skin when rubbing them off. It also helps you avoid getting bioglitter everywhere.
