You cannot get rid of it. What if I "accidentally" get some on me?
The short answer is to wait. There is no way to completely neutralize pepper spray. That being said, it can be further diluted. Water won't work, but a combination of milk, honey, a mild detergent, and some baking soda should cool the affected areas and remove some of the pepper spray¹. Rubbing alcohol or cooking oil can also be used as capsaicin is soluble in both ethanol and oil. After washing the affected area(s), a cold shower will remove more irritant. The method of bathing should be a cold shower because warmth opens the pores and bath water just collects and redistributes the chemical.

Quite a long time. The best way to neutralize it is to rinse the area with milk, not water.
