"Have you been painting and you can't get that paint off your skin? My name is Keeley Selvage with "Keeley Skin Solutions" and I'm going to tell you how to get oil based paint off of the skin. What you want to do is start with oil. You can use vegetable oil, baby oil, anything like that. I'm using almond oil for today's purposes and we're going to apply a little to the paint and that is going to help to break it up and dissolve it and rub it in and you'll see it start to break up and then you are going to wipe it with a wash cloth until it completely goes away. If you need more oil you just get more oil and you rub it in again until it's gone. So just be persistent and be patient and no one will ever know that you painted your living room. My name is Keeley Selvage with "Keeley's Skin Solutions" and that is how you remove oil based paint from the skin."
