If you have ever accidentally marked your skin with permanent marker, you know how frustrating it can be to remove the stain. It can not only be an unsightly sight but also cause discomfort, especially if it is a large stain. Knowing how to remove permanent marker from skin is a handy skill that everyone should know.

II. Rubbing Alcohol

One of the most effective ways to get permanent marker off skin is using rubbing alcohol. The alcohol dissolves the ink and makes it easier to wipe off.

To use rubbing alcohol, soak a cotton ball or pad in rubbing alcohol and gently rub the affected area. Then, wipe it off with a cloth. Repeat as necessary until the ink is completely gone.

Reminder: Be sure to clean the affected area with soap and water after using rubbing alcohol.

III. Vinegar

Vinegar is another effective home and natural remedy for removing permanent marker from skin. The acetic acid in vinegar helps break down the ink and make it easier to remove.

To make a vinegar-based paste, mix equal parts of vinegar and baking soda until it forms a paste. Apply the paste to the affected area and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Then, rinse with lukewarm water, and gently wipe off the remaining ink with a cloth. Repeat as necessary until the ink is gone.

Reminder: Be sure to clean the affected area with soap and water after using vinegar.

IV. Baby Oil/Mineral Oil

Baby oil or mineral oil is a gentle way to remove permanent marker from skin. These oils are safe and can effectively dissolve the ink.

To use baby oil or mineral oil, apply a small amount to a cotton ball or pad and gently dab it onto the affected area. Then, wipe it off with a cloth. Repeat as necessary until the ink is gone.

Reminder: Be sure to clean the affected area with soap and water after using baby oil or mineral oil.

V. Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera gel is another natural and safe way to remove permanent marker from the skin while also soothing the skin. Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce any redness or irritation caused by the ink.

To use aloe vera gel, apply a small amount to the affected area and let it sit for several minutes. Then, wipe it off with a cloth. Repeat as necessary until the ink is gone.

Reminder: Be sure to clean the affected area with soap and water after using aloe vera gel.
