Wash with hand sanitizer. An alcohol-based hand sanitizer can help thin and erase marker stains. Squeeze some hand sanitizer into your hand, then rub the stain on your skin in circular motions. After 15-30 seconds of scrubbing, the ink will gradually dissolve and mix with hand sanitizer. At this point, you can rinse with warm water and repeat the procedure until the stain is completely removed.

Spray the spray insecticide onto the stain. Similar to hand sanitizer, Isopropyl alcohol-based insect repellant helps to dissolve the brush ink. You can spray a variety of insect repellent products onto the stain and rub your skin with your finger or a tissue. Continue to spray and rub on the stain until the ink is dissolved, then wash the area with soap and warm water.

Use Isopropyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol can almost certainly help remove permanent marker. Simply pour alcohol directly onto the stain or pour it on a rag, and then scrub the stain with your finger or a rag. Ink stains will fade relatively quickly; Continue rubbing until the ink is gone. Finally, wash the area with warm water and a little soap and pat dry.

• Use a rag or towel that you can discard if it gets dirty, as the marker can stain on a rag or towel.

Method 3 of 3: Use other methods to remove ink stains

1. 

   Use a wet towel for your baby to wipe off the ink. Simply hold a wet cloth to rub the stain until the ink melts, then rinse it off with warm water. Use a wet towel instead of a regular paper towel because a wet baby towel will be more gentle on the skin.

2. 

   Use a makeup remover or cotton pad. For liquid makeup removers, you can pour a small amount onto a tissue or a towel and rub it over the affected area. For a makeup remover, just scrub and wipe off the ink stain.

3. 

   Use a white toothpaste. First, choose a white toothpaste because the toothpaste is not as effective. Turn on lukewarm water and wet the affected area. Next, apply a thick layer of toothpaste to the stain and leave on for 1-2 minutes. Then, use your finger or damp rag to rub the toothpaste on your skin. Rub until the ink melts and rinse the toothpaste with warm water.

4. 

   Apply butter to the stain. Take some butter and spread it evenly over the stain. Leave for 2-3 minutes and then use a rag to scrub the skin. Rub until the ink melts, then wash off the butter and toner with soap and hot water.

5. 

   Use nail polish remover or Acetone. Although not a 'skin care product', nail polish remover and Acetone can dissolve permanent marker without damaging the skin. However, nail polish remover evaporates relatively quickly, so you will need to apply it as many times as needed. Pour a little nail polish remover onto a cotton ball or cloth and rub the stain on your skin. Continue adding nail polish remover and rub until the ink is gone. Rinse skin with warm water and blot dry. advertisement
