Don't panic! Superglue won't harm your skin. Once the superglue is on your fingers it is best not to try to wipe it off. You will just get stuck to whatever you are wiping with. Wait for the superglue to dry.
Once the superglue is dry soak your fingers (or whatever part of you has superglue on it) in warm soapy water. If you have it, soak your fingers in nail polish remover. (Nail polish remover's main ingredient is acetone, which works as a solvent.) This will loosen the bond between the glue and your skin.
Now dry off your fingers and rub them together to loosen the glue some more. At this point you should be able to start peeling the glue off of your fingers. Do this slowly so you don't rip your skin off.

Use a pumice stone with a good industrial hand cleaner.
Because the presence of moisture causes the glue to set, exposure to moisture in the air can cause a tube or bottle of glue to become unusable over time. To prevent an opened container of glue from setting before use, it must be stored in an airtight jar or bottle with a package of silica gel.

Rub Acetone nail polish remover on it. Also my hubby found this out yesterday that Mr Clean Magic Eraser will take it off too.

Go to the hardware store and find a biologically safe glue solvent. Ask the helpers at your stores, they have specially made stuff for that.

Wait for it to degrade it self. If say to fingers are stuck together go to A&E.
