After a bath, allow to run through a damp towel/flannel to help it off.

Higher humidity is essential for a good clean shed, put another hide in there with damp moss or as I do a tupperware box with a clean damp flannel or tea cloth and let her go in there and hopefully she will get rid of her skin
