How to Get Crayola Markers Off Skin


Crayola markers on the skin can be a troublesome mess to deal with once the artwork has been finished. So, if you’ve been struggling with how to get Crayola markers off skin by simply washing your hands, you’ll want to check out the cleaning methods mentioned below. 

Baby Oil, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil 

Baby oil, olive oil, and coconut oil are effective cleaning agents that can remove Crayola marker ink from the skin quickly and easily. Oil is also gentle, which makes it ideal for a child’s skin and all skin types.

The oil works by becoming attached to the skin. When you wipe the oil off, it will take the Crayola stain off more easily. 

Start by putting a small quantity of olive oil or coconut oil into the stained area. Gently rub the oil into the skin before grabbing a dry cloth or piece of tissue. Wipe the excess oil off and rinse your hands in warm water. The permanent marker stain should come off more easily compared to just washing your hands. 

Salt 

Combine a teaspoon of water with a tablespoon of sea salt and mix it to form a paste. Add the paste to the marked area and rub it gently until the stain begins to disappear. Wash your hands with warm water.

If the stain is still present, you can repeat the process until it’s gone. 

Rubbing Alcohol

Isopropyl alcohol is a strong solution that’s effective at removing all kinds of stains, including Crayola marks from the skin. 

However, due to the potentially harsh chemicals in rubbing alcohol, this method is best for adults and people who don’t have sensitive skin and who want to remove Crayola markers.

Start by dipping a cotton ball into the solution. Rub it gently onto the stained area of your skin and let it soak in for a few minutes so the skin absorbs alcohol. Get a clean cotton ball and dab the area to soak up the excess solution before gently washing your hands with water. 

Make Up Remover 

Makeup removers contain ingredients that are great for stripping surface materials from the skin. This is a safe option for most people due to how makeup removers are specially formulated for the skin.

Add a small quantity of makeup remover to a cotton pad or ball and use a circular motion on the marked area of your skin. Once the mark fades or is gone completely, wash your hands with warm water and soap.
