Barbara asked: How do I remove white out from my daughter’s face?
Table of Contents:
Though white out is not intended for skin, it is basically just a white, oil-based paint. Though it will wear off in a short amount of time, if you want it off right away, there are several ways to remove it. It can be removed with the follow steps.
You Will Need:
- Baby oil or Olive oil
- Cotton balls or Soft cloths
Steps to Remove the White Out:
- Moisten a cotton ball with one of the oils above.
- Gently rub it over the painted area on the skin. Do not rub too much or it will irritate the skin.
- If the white out is staying firm, moisten it with the oil and allow it to set for a minute. This will allow time for the oil to penetrate the white out or paint so that it can be more easily removed.
- Once clean, wipe the area clean with a soft cloth.
- If there is oily residue, it can be washed away, but does not need to be. It is safe to leave the oil on the skin.
Additional Tips and Advice
- This removal method works for White Out, Liquid Paper, Correction Fluid and paint as well.
- If no baby oil is available, try a mild dish soap instead. If you see any irritation of the skin, stop and rinse thoroughly.
- If the individual covered in white out has sensitive skin, avoid using any scented oils or soaps. Olive oil or plain baby oil may be the least reactive, so try those first.
After trying nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol and soap I got concerned that the stains would never go away. The baby oil worked like magic. Thanks
I also tried alcohol and polish remover on my hands after spilling white out, but neither worked. Thanks so much. The baby oil worked like a charm!
Awesome! I mean, I used soap and water, but it didn’t work. But the baby oil is like a miracle!
