The uses
Type A: Will give a slight wrinkling effect when applied to un-stretched skin. It should be used when the actor is in a perspiration-free environment.
Type B: Will achieve a heavier wrinkling effect, even when the skin is not stretched. Under normal use, you'll find that it is perspiration-resistant. This is the most popular stipple.
Type C: Delivers the heaviest wrinkle effect. And it works quite well on hands.
Type Crusty: Will allow you to create the illusion of deeply weathered skin. This also works well on hands.

The bottom line
All old age stipples are available in light skin tone.
To ensure maximum adhesion, before applying the stipple, clean the skin with 70% alcohol.
Then, decant the stipple into a small container and heat it in the microwave for 2 seconds (yes - only 2). If you overheat, the stipple will coagulate. Apply a light coat of Old Age Stipple.
To achieve deeper wrinkles, dry and repeat. When removing the stipple, massage liquid soap (any kind) onto the area and let it soak for at least a minute.
Then, apply a warm, wet towel and repeat.
The stipple can then be rolled off of the skin.
Do NOT use any liquid adhesive removers.
