You could place them into boiling water for about a minute and then plunge them into cold water and then they'll peel a lot easier.

Answer 2

I cut off both ends first,then the skin comes off easily.

Answer 3

Go to a cooking tool store like Sur La Table. They have a $4 soft rubber tube you insert garlic or shallot's into, then rub on a table. The soft rubber grips the paper and helps tear it off the garlic or shallot.
