Description
Kryolan Old Skin Plast is a professional-grade aging compound used in special effects makeup to create realistic wrinkles, fine lines, and aged skin textures. Formulated with high-quality cosmetic latex, it is a trusted choice among film, television, and theater makeup artists for its ability to produce lifelike transformations that move naturally with the performer’s expressions.
The product is designed to simulate the natural effects of aging by forming elastic wrinkle patterns on the skin. To apply, the area of skin—typically the face, neck, or hands—is gently stretched, and a thin layer of Old Skin Plast is brushed on. As it dries, the latex contracts, generating realistic creases and folds. Once dry, the skin is powdered to remove tackiness, and when the performer relaxes their muscles, the stretched areas produce convincing, flexible wrinkles.
Kryolan Old Skin Plast can be layered to achieve different intensities of aging, from subtle fine lines to deep, dramatic folds. Its formulation ensures flexibility and comfort throughout long shooting days or stage performances. Once powdered and sealed, the material can be painted with rubber mask grease, alcohol-activated colors, or other compatible SFX paints to match the surrounding skin tone and add shading or age spots for enhanced realism.
The product is latex-based, fast-drying, and suitable for both partial and full-face applications. It performs exceptionally well under high-definition cameras, making it ideal for close-up work. Removal is simple—Old Skin Plast can be peeled off gently or dissolved using Kryolan’s recommended removers.
Perfect for aging effects, character work, or theatrical transformation, Kryolan Old Skin Plast delivers consistent professional results. It allows artists to quickly age a performer by years or decades, producing believable, flexible, and camera-ready old-age effects without the need for prosthetics
Instructions
Kryolan Old Skin Plast is a latex-based aging compound used to create realistic wrinkles and aged skin effects. Apply a thin layer to gently stretched skin using a brush. Allow to dry fully, then powder to remove tackiness. As the skin relaxes, natural wrinkles and folds will appear. Additional layers may be applied to intensify the effect. Once set, the surface can be painted with compatible SFX makeup systems. Perform a skin patch test before use. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, or broken skin. Remove gently by peeling or with approved removers. Store sealed at room temperature. Keep out of reach of children.
