Vegetable works well. Any cooking oil will do. However, if that doesn't work, pure Clorox bleach will do the job immediately - just use a rag to rub the bleach on your hands (of course, protect any clothing or furniture that could be damaged by the bleach). Make sure to wash good afterwards with soap and water.
