Face Painting with MARKER!!!!!

My DS was playing hide and seek with the babysitter and she wasn't aware he was hiding with a green marker. When she "found" him he had his face covered in green marker - eyes, cheeks, lips, forehead, neck ( back of neck???) and hands. He is basically the hulk.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I have tried wiping it off with sensitive wipes and wet kitchen towel and while I am getting the surface green off there is there lots of green left...any tips??

the first time i gave DD markers to color with i turned around for a minute and when i turned back she was eating the green marker and had a green mouth for a few hours. obviously it was a regular crayola non-toxic marker but still, fun time!!

Please tell me you took a picture.

Try using some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball-then promptly wash his face. Chat Icon

Re: Face Painting with MARKER!!!!!

Thank you allChat Icon I am so bummed I didn't get a picture - I get pictures of everything but not this...my poor babysitter was so upset that I sprang into action to make her feel better and started scrubbing on his face!! He is still green but not as vivid..I am going to try rubbing alcohol first and see where we go from there.Chat Icon

Sounds crazy, but try shaving cream first. It contains alcohol and will most likely do the trick with less drying of the skin than straight alcohol

I was just going to suggest this. I have been using shaving cream for years to get food coloring and permanant markers off my hands. Always works! GL
