i found a nice long hot shower to work best........then simply remove the bits that are pealing away with scissors.......then just Repeat process the next time you jump in the shower .

I rubbed WD40 into the sticky side of the bandage as I gently pulled it back.  I'd guess that petrol lighter fuel would have the same effect as it would 'de-nature' the adhesive.  Also once the bandages were removed, there were a number of those stubborn dirty sticky patches around my shoulders and back.  Once again WD40 soaked into cotton wool - rubbed into the offending areas and it easily lifted out the marks.

I think I'll send this advice into Bella's 'top-tips' section and earn myself a tenner
