Removing permanent marker from toddler's face and arm

[Gingerninj]

DD's skin is very sensitive and flannel and soap hasn't done much at all

Nail varnish remover (maybe just the arm), and then into the shower.
A trip to the swimming pool.
Or just leave it for a couple of days!

Oh dear....could you try a magic eraser sponge? Once got permanent marker off my mantle piece.

Baby lotion and cotton wool, then a soak in the bath.
Good luck!

what colour?
is she a smurf? :o

Please don’t use a Magic Eraser. Been there, done that, DD had the burns to show for it...

Coconut oil.

Washing up liquid (preferably Ecover or similar) worked today on my two where soap had failed, along with gentle use of a soft nail brush ...

Alcoholic hand sanitizer.

I used a magic eraser on my neck for hair dye ones! DO NOT USE ONE OF THOSE. The bun was awful.

I second swimming.

Soap, water and time.

Oil or alcohol if waterchasnt worked

100% not a magic eraser!! Go and read how those work and you'll see that you don't want it on skin.

Anything oily should do the trick without irritating further, I usually use a bit of baby oil on my son midway through a warm bath. Olive, coconut, anything like that will do

Baby wipes

How obvious is it? It'll fade in time.

About magic sponges:
"It works because when melamine resin cures into foam, its microstructure becomes almost as hard as glass — causing it to act like a SUPER-fine sandpaper"

I just give DS a good thorough wash, and whatever doesn't come off can stay on. It wears away over a few days, and I don't see the need for extreme stain removal tactics.

I agree with tawdry. I had to explain a few sharpie incidents at nursery and no one cared. It comes off in the end.

It was a black pen so it was quite obvious, i used some baby location, wipes and a bath and it's faded a bit but for now she's got a temporary moustache

Anything alcohol based should help. I used some hair spray last time (maybe not on face!). Didn't totally get rid but helped.

oh a lovely moustache, I was wondering what she had done. Sweeeeeeeeeet!
Please tell me it's school photos weeK?? :o

Baby wipes are the best bet for sensitive skin. Have used them on a biro explosion fairly successfully.
