I use Vaseline to get it off. I put Vaseline on a Q-tip and gently rubbed it on the glue. Then, I washed it off. I did this a couple times and it came off! But here are a few more sugesstions from eHow.
1. Clean up any glue that is still wet by blotting it with a white paper towel or terry cloth towel.
2. Soak the object in warm soapy water if possible and try rubbing off as much as you can.
3. Pour a little bit of acetone-base nail polish remover on a white terry cloth.
4. Dab at the dried glue until it dissolves.
5. Use extra fine sandpaper to remove dried glue from the surface of an object.
6. Try a product called Goof-Off or Z-7 Debonder.
Tips:
Hold a folded white cloth on the back of fabrics to keep the acetone from soaking through other layers.
Remember, Acetone may affect colors or melt plastic fibers, such as some nylons or carpet. Test it on a hidden area first.
Don't use solvents such as gasoline or paint thinner.

Yup - like krypton to Superman, superglue's one weakness is acetone. You'll find that advice on Superglue's website.
Acetone is one of the primary ingredients in nailpolish remover - dip a q-tip in the bottle of remover, and apply it directly to the glue. (Make sure that your particular remover actually contains acetone - since acetone doesn't play well with acrylic nails, many manufacturers have created non-acetone nail polish remover).
Check the site listed below - the company offers specific advice for various types of sticky situations.

Nail polish remover works great. whenever my fingers get stuck together using super glue, i use nail polish remover. I think it has a neutralizer in it or something.

I think you can put your hands in some hot or warm water and that will take is off. I think this works because your hands get pruny and it flakes off. It worked for me.
