I tried hand soap, but it didn’t work. I also tried hand sanitizer; same thing didn’t work. Hair spray didn’t really work either. My hands are now all pinkish red and it’s sorta staining the walls and carpets when I touch them.

Try following steps:

  1. Get your hands greasy in a fatty substance like hand cream. Oil or fat suitable for eating will do, as will baby oil.

  2. Wipe it off with paper or an old rag you will throw away. Instead of just wiping you can also scrape it off with something straight but not sharp.

  3. Re-apply and wipe till no colour comes off when wiping.

  4. Now re-apply and wash your hands, first with normal soap.

  5. Then, if needed, with 'garage' soap. That is soap which is strong and has sand or some other gritty bits in it.

At the end of all cleaning, make sure you have your hands protected with cream and leave that to soak in for a while.

  • Baby oil is mild on your skin and works pretty well, too.

  • @Stan, that is a good one and being for babies it will be safe to use. (Mineral oils might do the work, they are not health safe.)
