How to wash chilli off hands?

[toastofthetown]

If you’d spent your morning handling dried chillies, how would you wash your hands so you don’t need to fear absentmindedly touching your eye for the rest of the day?

Sorry, don't know but I'd be wearing food prep gloves 🧤

Sounds weird but rub your hands on stainless steel as you're washing them- so your kitchen tap or cutlery. Gets rid of it I promise

Try wiping cooking oil over hands then wash off with washing-up liquid. That worked for raw chillies.

Milk - it neutralises the acid or whatever it is in the chilli, so if you do accidentally touch your eyes it should hurt less. And if it still hurts then bathe your eyes with milk. Also works for when you’ve eaten something too hot 🥵!!

Oil, then soap and water. The chilli spice chemicals are not water soluble, but they are fat soluble.

Op I had this issue a couple of days ago and the stung under my nail was unreal.

Milk does fuck its alcohol you need. I dipped cotton wool in gin and rubbed my hand on that. Worked well. Then the absolute cherry on the cake was using my babies teething anbesol

Cooking oil. It's especially good for the burning under nails. Mine were burning for days after some particularly hot chillies before a colleague mentioned it.
