Did your buddies draw obscene drawings on your face while you slept? Or did your four-year-old turn himself into a work of art right before his grandmother's 85th birthday? It doesn't matter how the ink gets on your skin, we'll help you erase or mask it.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Quick cleaning
Step 1. Use nail polish remover
Find an acetone-based nail polish remover. Apply it to a cotton swab and use it to wipe the paint off your skin. If you need to wipe ink off your face, be very careful not to get any liquid in your eyes or mouth.
Step 2. Use rubbing alcohol
The process is practically no different from the previous one. Apply a small amount to a cotton swab and wipe the paint off your skin. Be very careful to avoid getting liquids in your eyes or mouth.
Step 3. Take a facial cleanser soaked in cleanser
It is best to use an alcohol-based wipe. Rub the stained areas. This method is especially useful if you need to wipe ink off your face.
Step 4. Take baby oil
Baby oil or olive oil will do. Both of these tools will help remove some of the ink (but not all of it).
Step 5. Use sugar
To wipe away ink stains, try sugar in combination with any of the above methods. Sugar will help remove stained dead skin cells.
Method 2 of 3: Thorough cleaning
Step 1. Take a tablespoon of Tide powder with bleach or any kind of laundry soap
Mix it in a bowl with the same amount of water.
Step 2. Apply a small amount of the mixture to the ink marks
Rub with your hand. If you can handle the pain, using a metal washcloth to clean the pots should do the trick.
Step 3. Rub some more and rinse with water
If the paint has not been wiped off, repeat the procedure again.
Step 4. Do not forget that the ink must be "permanent", so you will not be able to completely remove it, but you will remove more than half of the ink
If the stain is still there, repeat the procedure the next day. You may not need to pour out the remaining soap solution.
Method 3 of 3: After cleaning
Step 1. Don't panic if paint is not completely removed
With the death of skin cells (this is a normal, fairly quick process), you can easily erase and wash off the remaining stains. It will take no more than a few days. In other words, the ink will come off on its own to one degree or another.
Step 2. Try cosmetics
If you want to mask the remaining marks (for example, you have a painted face, and the next day you need to go for an interview), use makeup. To do this, you need a foundation and powder that matches your skin color. You may also find Dermablend Cover Cream, which is known to help camouflage anything, even tattoos.
You may need the help of someone who is more experienced in such matters, as this is more difficult than it seems. Still, you should be able to hide the remaining ink under the makeup
Step 3. Be sure not to get ink poisoning
The theory that you can poison yourself after getting ink on your skin is wrong. Ink poisoning can occur only as a result of ingestion, and in large quantities. Once again, don't worry. If you still can't get over your panic, you can call your health center.
