How can I remove permanent black ink from my finger pad?
By Gail from Houston, TX
Use Clearasil Stayclear Oil-Free Daily Face Wash. My daughter and her friend used this after they painted their face with Mr. Sketch. We used soap, water, rubbing alcohol. Nothing worked but Clearsil worked.
An answer to the question advised using Mr. Clean Eraser. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS as the warning on the box specifically states. I used it (without checking the warning on the box) and my 5 year has a very bad abrasion as a result.

Use a cotton ball and nail polish remover, works every time!
My 3 yr old cousin used a purple Magic Marker as lip stick. How can I get it off?
You could use coconut butter for two reasons. First, it is all natural and second, it will help. Put some warm water on it and do it all over again.
My 2 year old wrote all over her face with a black sharpie. I used a baby wipe and it came off easily, no problem.
Gently rub coconut oil on skin with cloth and Sharpie comes off instantly!
I was sitting on the sofa and I was decorating my note book. I took the marker apart and started to squeeze it. A lot of stuff came out; so my question is, how do you get Sharpie off your hands?

I use wet wipes, baby wipes, or alcohol prep pads.

Alcohol pads will do the trick. You may need to use more than one if there is lot of ink.
When my friend was all marked up for radiation treatments, she told me that baby oil would remove the permanent marker. Hope this helps.
Baby oil or hand sanitizer
Yep I just used baby oil and it does work.yahoo
It has been months and there is still a mark from a permanent marker on my skin. I don't know what to do. The line is light and not so visible, but still there. Any suggestions?
I have a two year old little boy that decided to express his artistic abilities with a blue Sharpie Marker. I have read the suggestions for walls and furniture, but have not seen any for getting it off of your kids.
I have used various brands of hand/body lotion. Rubbing alcohol works as well. If you have hand sanitizer it works too, but takes longer.

What do I do after I take the Sharpie off of my face? Right now it burns a little. I'm not sure what to do, but it's not unbearable.
Hand sanitizer
Hand sanitizer, I worked in kindergarten and got sharpie marks off children's hands and face!
After experimenting with everything I could think of to get permanent Sharpie off of skin, I came up with this.
My 2 year old has ink all over her. Her sister left out the black ink gel pen and our dog chewed it up and she attempted to bring it to me and in return got ink all over her.
