You can use peanut butter.
But they say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Next time, coat your hands with cooking oil. You will not have the same problem again. Believe me when I tell you, the peppers in China are a little hotter than the jalapenos; and I do not have residual pepper oil on my hands after preparing peppers.

The point is to get the Jalapeno oil out of your pores. Maybe a hot shower will work, or a steam room thing. I know that for Habeneros, the hottest pepper and bright orange for a good reason, the firefighters use catchup to neutralize the burn.
If all else fails, the burn will go away in about 2 to 3 days. Use latex gloves next time.

Wet Your Hands with Vinegar, then Sprinkle on some Baking Soda, then, Pour some more Vinegar onto Your Hands. "Cup" it into the Palm of One Hand, and, as it's Foaming,briskly rub it over both Hands. This will Work when all else Fails !

Mayo or another oil-based condiment would probably work. Butter or margarine would smell better than mayo, or you could just try a cooking oil. Dish detergent is OK, but it can still leave some capsaicin residue. I'd go with an oil-based rub, then dish detergent to get *that* oil off.

This works for the "juice" and odor of an onion, but I don't know if it will work for jalepenos. You could try it though. If you put salt in your hands and rub them together all over and then rinse them in water, it works.

I've only found that an extended shower works. I'm not sure if it's the time in the water, or the shampoo, or a combination of soap, shamoo, and cream rinse.

The hot stuff is an oil. Use a detergent that breaks up grease and oil like Dawn.

what i found that was the best to get anything off your hands is dish soap and table salt, put on hands together rub around and rinse repeat if needed.

I know that for garlic and onion smells I use soap, hot water, and table salt, maybe it'll work for jalepenos too.

use some chilontro (sp). I rub it in my hands after cutting up Jalepeno's. It helps
