Natural Way to Remove Oil-Based Paint From Skin
Cleaning oil-based paint from your hands is a pain. It's especially a pain when you forget that you are painting with oil-based, and put the brush under water and grab it to start wringing the paint out as you would when you're cleaning a brush with latex paint (or at least I've been known to do this - and I didn't learn my lesson the first time). I probably need to slow down and think through my actions. Thankfully - there's an easy way to clean up that mess.
Even with a whole hand covered in oil-based paint, this "natural" combination takes paint out in no-time. All you need is dish soap and olive oil (although I've sure vegetable, canola, etc. oil would work too)
I only have a little paint on my hand this time, but all you need to do is put a little dish soap on your hand, suds it up, and then put a little olive oil on your hand. Rub it all together over the paint, and it'll easily come out. I promise, it's worked for a whole handful of paint as well (with just a little bit of extra scrubbing).
That's it - dish soap and olive oil.
