If the friction ridge skin is dehydrated but remains pliable, the lessinvasive Moisturizer Technique3 can be used. This method involves application of a moisturizing bath wash to the friction ridge detail on the fingers. The solution should be massaged into the fingers and

the periodically for pliability. The skin should start to give slightly under pressure when it is ready. Once the skin is pliable and there is visible friction ridge detail with no depressions, it can be recorded using one of the basic fingerprint recovery techniques. If the skin exhibits depressions, the Putty or Casting Techniques should be attempted. If the aforementioned methods are unsuccessful but the skin remains pliable, the fingers may require the Injection Technique. The finger can also be photographed using a DSLR camera with macro lens and external flash. The Moisturizer Technique has been found to be the most effective, rapid, least-invasive, and least-destructive rehydration method because it serves as a detergent and moisturizer for the skin.
