1. I have used either nail polish remover or hazel alcohol and has helped a lot. If you have cuts, you can't use it. Try soaking in dishwashing liquid with warm water to open up the pores and let the stain out easier,then put lots of cream lotion to soften the skin and wipe with a cloth. Good luck
2. The first answer is a good idea but it may leave your hands dry and cracked. I would just let it wear off. Dont worry, it will only take a few days.
3. One thing that does work is hydrogenperoxide. Make sure you minimize exposure, wash your hands right after and use a hand lotion after that. Of course make sure you are not allergic. Wizard Headquarters - Your Partner in Magic http://www.wizardhq.com
4. Try washing it a lot more or lemon juice can help alot sometimes :D xx
