Soap and warm water should do the trick with latex paint. Don't go around trying to get it off with paint thinner or acetone; those are for oil-based paints. If it's a good quality paint or dried hard, you might have to scrub a bit, but if it's still wet it will come right off. Hot water and scrubbing with my finger tips works well for me. Our skin is porous, whatever we put on it is absorbed by our bodies through the blood vessels. Never put thinners or similar solvents on your skin, especially acetone, tolulene, etc.

∙ 15y agoUse a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover(acetone) and wipe it off. Rub it gently if required and wash it later with water. I tried this at first, but it didn't work. So I used paint thinner and it got it right off. Just make sure to wash your skin really well after using it.

How can you remove house paint from your skin?
Try bathing.It might help if you told us what type of paint the "house paint" is....water based, or oil based.In MOST cases... be it latex, acrylic, oil, epoxy, interior or exterior paint, the best way to get small amounts (spatters or drips) off your skin is to use petroleum jelly. Work it well into the skin and paint and continue to rub carefully to remove the paint. It is not advisable to use caustic or corrosive chemicals on your skin. In cases where the paint must be remove, and the above did not work, a small amount of nail polish remover may help. Follow it with plenty of hand lotion to counter the drying effects of the chemicals. Otherwise, I'm afraid you may have to let it "wear off."If you need to remove paint spatters or drips from your hair, any of the "hot oil" treatments can be used. If you do not have access to one them warm up a bit of olive oil and use that. Work slowly and carefully in order not to damage the hair.Under the "ounce of prevention" category, in future, before undertaking a painting job, wear long sleeves and a painter's hat, to protect most of you and apply a coating of moisturizing cream to the exposed areas of skin. You would be surprised how much effort this can save.
