Is there such thing as sfx slime/wet look with easy cleanup?

I have an 8ft monster puppet that I’ve made for a horror film. I’m hoping to achieve a wet slime effect similar to the Alien screenshot attached. However, I’d like for the puppet to last beyond a single shoot… does anyone know how to achieve a wet look that can easily be cleaned off of so I can store the puppet?

How can I improve? (Burn Makeup)

These are my attempts over two days to get this look (Freddy Krueger) right. The way I'm currently going about it is:

  1. Blotchy layer of vibrant red blush. I've gone from trying to rip holes later to laying out where I want them to be ahead of time and leaving them clear.

  2. A couple layers of liquid latex, with coffee grounds for texture.

  3. Once that's dry, over it again with the blush, then with foundation, then more blush until it balances correctly. I'm having issues with it being very noticeably cakey, which I wouldn't mind usually for a burn, but that's not really the Freddy look.

  4. Into the holes with my red shades. I need to get new brushes to be more precise with the colouring around the edges.

Currently, I do feel like I'm improving, and I like the gooey-ness of the most recent attempt with thicker layers of latex, but I feel like I'm missing something. I've included the last image to show how nice the base burns look without any holes or foundation - I wish I could just do that, but it really won't look right.
