You'll have to wait for it to fade, those pens are a sod to get off your skin

My advice would be to let it naturally wear off for at least a day. Then it's easier to get it off without hurting her. Alcohol pads will help, as will baby wipes. Also nail polish remover will work and it will feel cool on her skin, but I wouldn't use too much. The main thing is just to let it wear off naturally by giving her a bath twice a day and washing with soap and water in the process. Hope that helps, good luck.

A cotton ball and some alcohol will take it off. Don't worry, anything that doesn't wash off will wear off in a few days. Take pictures. My parents have pictures of my and my sisters covered n green marker. LOL

My girl does this all the time. Even permanent marks fade after a couple of days but gentle alcohol wipes sometimes do the trick.

a solvent like nail polish remover should help somewhat.
Even that might not do the job 100%.
But rest assured that if it doesn't all wash out today then it will tomorrow or the day after.
(This coming from a twentysomething who often gets permanent marker and printer toner stains on his skin.)

I would suggest Melaleuca Solumel. That takes marker off where others cant and it is not harmful to the skin. You wouldn't bathe your child in lacquer thinner because it is harmful, but Melaleuca is a natural product.

If you are careful..goo gone may help and if it doesn't just let it wear off. Both of my girls did the same thing and I just let it wear off. It really is more messy than harmful. Good Luck and Have fun.....kiddos do keep you on your toes..

You can try rubbing alcohol or baby oil.
It may just take a couple of days before it wears off.

i have often got permanent marker on me, and on the computer desk. i find the best thing to do is get some cotton wool, and some barcardi/white rum or vodka and wipe it off with that. always works on me!!!
