Using Basic Household Items
Rub olive oil or vegetable oil onto your skin. Hold your hands over a sink and pour a generous amount of olive or vegetable oil into your palms. Rub your hands together thoroughly and focus on working away at the paint. Turn on the water with your elbow and continue rubbing your hands underneath the running water. If the paint isn’t coming off, squirt some hand soap into your palm and continue rubbing. To avoid making a mess, it may be best to do this in the shower if the spray paint is anywhere other than your hands and/or arms.
Use purification essential oil instead of vegetable oil. Get a purification essential oil, which is a blend of multiple oils typically used to eliminate odor. Drop a few drops of the oil blend directly onto your skin where the spray paint is. Massage the oil into the painted skin, and you should notice the paint starting to thin. Continue rubbing until the paint is gone. Be careful not to touch your eyes when your hands have essential oils on them, as this may cause stinging and irritation.
Try spraying cooking spray on your skin as an alternative. Get a generic cooking spray and spray it all over the painted area of your skin. Rub the affected area and the paint should come right off. Rinse your hands in the sink to get the oil and any remaining paint off.
Lather with dish soap. After thoroughly rubbing oil into your skin, squirt some grease-cutting liquid dish soap, such as Dawn, into your hands. As you lather, focus on rubbing the soap on any skin that still has paint on it. If you were using a water-based paint, soap and water is probably all you'll need to get the paint off of your skin.
Rinse the soap off of your skin. Once your skin is covered in suds, turn on the sink and place your hands under. Rub your hands together while you rinse the soap off completely. Then pat your skin dry with a hand towel. If you’ve gotten spray paint somewhere other than your hands or arms, rinse the soap off in the shower.
Repeat the process if any paint remains. Take a close look at your skin after you’re done rinsing. If you still see traces of spray paint on your skin, reapply the oil and then wash your skin with dish soap again.
Using a Homemade Paint Remover
Mix coconut oil, baking soda, and lemon oil together. Measure out ½ cup (118.3 mL) of baking soda and ½ cup (118.3 mL) of coconut oil and put them in a bowl. Add in 6 drops of lemon essential oil and mix everything together with a spoon until it has a smooth, paste-like consistency.
Rub and scrub the mixture onto your skin underneath running water. Turn on the sink or shower and scoop out some of the mixture. Place your hands underneath the water and start rubbing at the painted areas of skin. If you have spray paint on your fingernails, scrub the paint off with a new toothbrush.
Wash off the mixture. Rinse off as much of the mixture as you can, and then wash the skin with a hand or body soap to get it off entirely. After rinsing the soap off, pat your skin dry with a hand towel. This should leave your skin paint-free and soft.
