How do you care the skin?

Answer 1

with moisturise that pretty good for the skin

Answer 2

1. Soak the skin in several changes of clear cool
water. Use a wooden barrel, large earthen crock
or 5- to 10-gallon plastic garbage can for all
soaking and tanning processes. Never use a metal
container, as the salt and tanning chemicals will
react with the metal.
While a skin must be soaked until soft, do not
allow it to stay wet longer than necessary because
the hair may start to slip. Soaking time depends
upon the condition of the skin; some skins require
only about two hours while others need a
much longer time.
2. When the skin begins to soften, lay it on a
smooth board and begin working over the flesh
side to break up the adhering tissue and fat. (To
work the skin, hold the skin taut and pull it back
and forth over the edge of a board.) All dried
skins have a shiny tight layer of tissue that must
be broken up and entirely removed; this can be
done by alternately scraping and soaking the
hide. Take care not to injure the true skin or
expose the hair roots, especially on thin skins.
A good tool for scraping the tissue is a metal
edge with dull saw teeth or with notches filed in
it. An old hacksaw blade works well.
3. When the skin is almost soft, put it in lukewarm
water containing an ounce of baking soda or
Borax per gallon. For greasy skins, adding a
tablespoon of dishwashing soap per gallon of water
may help clean the skin. Use a paddle to stir
the skin around in the solution. This treatment
promotes final softening, cleans the skin
and cuts the grease.
4. Place the skin on a smooth board, flesh side up.
Work the skin with the back edge of a knife held
nearly flat against the side. This operation is
called “scudding” and is of utmost importance.
Scudding removes unwanted fatty and glandular
tissue, dirt and other debris that remains in the
skin after scraping. Scud until all loose tissue and
debris are removed from the skin (this may require
rewetting the skin in the
solution used in step 3).
5. Rinse the skin thoroughly in lukewarm water.
Squeeze out most of the water, but do not wring
the skin.
6. Repair any unwanted holes or tears by stitching
with a waxed thread. Dental floss works well
for thin skins. Take care not to pull hair
through the holes while stitching.
