    Default how do you remove highlighter ink from your skin?

    Yeah, its a weird question. But how do you removed highlighter from your skin? Saturday night my friend wrote "I f**ked Ian Anderson" (his name, as a joke, I actually did not) on my arm and when I went to work tonight, even though I showered, it was still there in all its glory. A baby wipe scrub down and an alcohol wipe also did not remove it. Agh! I made arm covers out of stockings and wore them all night but I really want to remove it! One girl told me there was a chemical in it that was hard to get off. Anyone?

    There's a paint remover called "Oops" that takes off everything. You can get it at any hardware store.

    Nurses do use acetone pads to remove adhesive from bandages. But, I bet if you rub oil on the stained skin, it'll absorb some of the ink & wipe off. I was worried you were one of those dancers who fell asleep in the dressing room & woke up with Magic Marker all over your face. LOL

    I can tell you that highlighter is a bitch to take off. Uv pens that come with the cool little pen light aren't much easier to rub off. We just took multiple showers and didn't have any lasting effects.

    Note: DO NOT put the UV pen ink on your nipples. They get really dried out and crackly and it HURTS! Didn't have any problem with other skin just the nipple and also don't put it directly on genitalia. Boyfriend said it had a similar if to a lesser degree effect on his penis.

    Yeah, we had a LOT of fun that night.

    Did you mean "Goop" hand cleaner? That stuff should take off highlighter. I know it works great on removing paint. Its also works very well on removing permament marker too!
