How to Remove Sharpie from Your Kid's Skin




Does your kid ever do this? Tag her face with Sharpie? I learned a neat trick for removing Sharpie ink from the skin during my 11-year stint as a bartender in a music club. I can't count the times I stepped into the women's bathroom to find a gaggle of underage girls slathering their huge Sharpie XXs with lotion and wiping them clean off their hands. Next time your child gets creative with a permanent marker, do this:


Get some decent lotion. Nothing too full of fragrance, which is industry-speak for nasty chemicals.


Slather the lotion over the affected body part.


Wipe gently with a soft tissue.


All clean! 

Now, put the Sharpie back in your personal pen box and give the kid some watercolors to paint herself with. Comes right off in the shower.
