Marker moustache on DS face ! Help!

[igotnotimeforthis]

I need ideas on how to get a drawn (by DH no less) marker moustache off my DS face.
DS has been through some vigorous scrubbing in the bath but no luck.

I'm quite annoyed with DH but in his defence he thought these were washable markers - but no. DS has washable markers but they got mixed with the non washable ones that ge got for Christmas from GPs.
(I'll be binning them tomorrow to avoid further confusion....)

But for now - it's first day back at school tomorrow- how will I explain this?!?

If non of the other suggestions work you can buy wipes for a few pence at Superdrug that remove hair dye. Never found anything they can't take off my skin and being made for skin they don't cause harm

CrazyGreyhoundLady Silly question, but are they just Superdrug's own makeup remover wipes or special ones for dye?

I could really do with something like that.

Baby wipes
Then baby oil.
Worked for Sharpie.

Slightly off track but for an adult, washing up liquid and a green scourer works wonders...

ChesireChat they are with the hairdyes, special ones for getting the inevitable tideline of dye off your skin

I feel as though my presence here would be less than helpful

Do you have a slightly exfoliating face scrub? That may be your best option.

Or there's baby lotion, it's the best for removing make up... or was last time I used it!

What else is there?! Oh bless him. Daddy definitely needs a matching one... or can you do Daddy a mono brow as he sleeps? Seems only fair! (try not to snigger too much! I'd laugh too much and wake him mid face painting session!)

Clinique make up remover definitely works in this situation!!

Ooh, I'll need to grab some, I always end up looking like a Smurf (my hair is currently blue). Thanks .

Thried vodka and baby wipes again - didn't work

I don't have baby oli, shaving foam (even if it was a joke I would give it a try), nail polish remover.... it seems we really don't have most things inthe house

The moustache is more like a black scribble- it's not a very stylish one - not like the one in Friends

Tried, that is

Just tried hair spray and hair mousse (just in case)
Still nothing

I'm starting to get pissed off at people who sell these sort of markers for young kids
(Even though it's the adult that fucked up)

The good thing is, because it's not a very fancy moustache i can probably just say at school that DS did it himself ....
Although why I'm covering for DH I don't know

Turps?
Ok, maybe not.
How about that micellar cleansing water stuff?

Vinegar? Probably won't work but my Nan swears it's magical.

Have you tried hand sanitizer? That should get it off

Nail varnish remover should do the job.

DON'T USE MAGIC ERASER ON YOUR DC'S SKIN

Go on, ask me how I am so sure of this...

It took off the top layer of skin on DS, causing a graze. I

If you haven't already left for school soak a dishcloth in hot water with some washing up liquid and just hold it against the marker. I've never tried it myself so not sure how well it might work!

Sometimes just a long shower and time submerged in water can help

I've an idea!! Take him swimming! The chlorine will remove it!!

I said this before but it got lost. Swarfega. Swarfega. Swarfega.

SWARFEGA!

Sorry I really have no suggestion I was just hoping for a photo

This is brilliant!

DS2 once managed to draw weird eyebrows on DS1 when they were about 3, so we were pissing ourselves laughing for about a week because DS1 looked permanently confused

It took about a week of washing and showering to get it all off but it did fade after one or two washes.
