Is it worth it and how often to practice on latex peels?
Practicing pigmentation on latex peels can be very helpful, especially for beginners in permanent makeup but not only. Here are some of the top reasons why you should sit down to exercise regardless of your experience:

This will be a useful option not only for a beginner but also for an experienced artist who wants to test a new device or purchased cartridges.
2. Safety and confidence

And regular exercise on latex peels helps you gain self-confidence in any pigmentation technique.
3. Exercise precision

4. Analysis of your progress and progression-or in the case of trainers-also that of your trainees
Latex skins allow you to accurately analysis of your or your student's progress. You can observe how the pigmentation changes after each exercise, what progression has been made and if there is still work to be done. Noticeable improvement on the skins is motivation for further practice and development.
5. Practice different techniques
Latex peels are great for practicing various permanent makeup techniques for lips and eyebrows, such as ombre or powdered. You can use them to testing different movements and saturation of eyebrows or lips, which will help you find the most effective working method and building new pigmentation techniques for you or in the case of trainers-your trainees.
6. Skills consolidation
If you don't perform eyebrow pigmentation every day or have longer breaks between treatments, practicing on latex peels can help you maintain manual dexterity and precision. Sometimes the exercise can serve as a reminder of the pigmentation technique. It is worth "rocking" and relaxing your hand just on the latex peels before the pigmentation itself if you haven't performed it in a long time. This exercise can serve as a reminder, prevent improper work with a stiff hand and help you maintain confidence during a treatment on a client.

Even an experienced linergist, if she feels her skills are at a high level, may need to practice regularly on latex peels. Which can be useful for testing new equipment, techniques or pigmentation styles. Latex skins can be a good supplement for further honing precision and development in working technique.
