Wash your hands using a good dishwashing detergent rather than regular soap.
Dishwashing liquids are better at breaking down oils.

Really, the best way to avoid that sort of thing (the burn from peppers, and also the stink from garlic) is to wear a latex or nyplex glove on one hand (or both hands, if you want to waste another glove. Usually, you wouldn't need a glove on your "knife hand"). I don't recommend those cellophane gloves, though; they're not tight-fitting enough, and I always end up chopping bits of glove along with the vegetables.
The second-best thing to do is wash your hands, but use a deodorizing liquid (pump) soap. They're actually marketed that way..."SoftSoap" makes one variety, but there are others. They contain surfactants (in addition to perfumes) that actually help remove the pepper oils from your skin. They do work better than ordinary soaps. But really, once the peppers have gotten into your skin, nothing is going to remove the oils 100%.

I am not too sure if this will work but the smae principal works if u have eaten something too spicy.
Dunk your fingers in bowl of water ( temperature higher than lukewarm) then wash it with cold water.
The hot water helps to lift the chilli seed oil from your fingers and the cold water helps to cool your fingers.
