It is not an easy task to wipe the felt-tip pen off the child's skin. You need to find a way to effectively remove the stain without harming the delicate baby skin.

Features of removing traces of a felt-tip pen from a child's skin

The child's skin is highly sensitive, so the use of aggressive products on it is unacceptable. When removing contamination, a number of rules should be followed:

• the first attempts to wipe off the felt-tip pen involve the use of the simplest methods;
• the combination of various ingredients to remove the marker is not acceptable, even if they do not pose a hazard;
• after each approach to remove the felt-tip pen, the skin must be allowed to rest;
• physical exertion and active scrubbing of dirt is prohibited.

How to wipe a felt-tip pen from your skin using folk remedies

You can wipe the felt-tip pen off the child's skin using various methods, the safest of which are folk methods. They are distinguished by their gentle effect and high efficiency.

Toothpaste

The felt-tip pen is easy to wipe off with a regular white or clear dentifrice paste. It does not contain harmful impurities, does not harm delicate skin and is available in every home.

The process for removing a marker is as follows:

1. Moisten the stained area with water.
2. Apply a thick layer of toothpaste.
3. Leave on for 3 - 5 minutes.
4. Wipe off with a soft washcloth or sponge.
5. Wash off with water.

Butter

No less effective, but safer for the delicate skin, is ordinary butter:

1. Put a piece of room temperature spread on the problem area.
2. Rub a little.
3. Wash off with warm water and soap.
4. Allow to dry.
5. Repeat the procedure until the marker is completely removed from the child's skin.

Table salt

Trying to wipe the permanent marker off the skin may require more effective methods. A distinctive feature of this type of markers is their durability. Therefore, exfoliating agents will have to affect the pollution from them:

1. Pour salt on a plate.
2. Moisten a little, not allowing the crystals to dissolve.
3. Apply it to the felt-tip stain and start rubbing in a circular motion.
4. Marker marks should begin to fade after 5 minutes of exposure to the skin.
5. Wash off the salt with water.
6. Lubricate with cream.

Toothpaste and soda

This version of the scrub is more gentle. For its preparation, it is necessary to mix toothpaste and soda in equal proportions to get a thick mixture with grains. You need to influence pollution as follows:

1. Dip a cotton swab in the prepared mass.
2. Wipe the skin with a felt-tip pen.
3. Blot with a damp cloth.
4. Repeat application.
5. Manipulations should be carried out until the felt-tip pen disappears completely from the child's skin.
6. Upon completion, rinse off the scrub with water and lubricate the skin with cream.

Shaving cream

Men's cosmetics will also help deal with tough stains like highlighter marks on the skin.

1. Apply shaving cream to the stain.
2. Leave on for 10 minutes.
3. Wipe off with a damp cloth.
4. Wash off.

Banana peel

A very unexpected but effective method of removing a felt-tip pen is to use a banana peel. The work consists in simply wiping the problem area with the inside of the skin.

If the child does not have allergies, then the banana can be replaced with an orange or kiwi peel. Due to its "acidity", these fruits remove such dirt well, allowing you to wipe off not only traces of markers.

Bread crumb with butter

An effective and safe way to remove the marker from the skin is to use rye bread.

1. Place the pulp in a container with a small amount of any vegetable oil.
2. Add a little salt.
3. Apply to skin and rub.

This tool acts on pollution in several directions at once:

• the pores of the bread act as a sponge;
• oil covers contamination with a greasy film;
• the salt particles scrub the marker like a pumice stone.

Lard

If there is an unsalted piece of bacon in the refrigerator, it can be used to rub the stained skin. The procedure will not harm the child, and the remaining fat at the end of the removal of the felt-tip pen will only need to be washed off with warm water and soap.

A salty product can also be adopted: the main thing is that it does not contain other spices.

Sour cream

Any product in the refrigerator that is high in fat can be used as a cleaner for marker marks on baby's skin. The usual sour cream will be no exception:

1. Apply the product to the skin.
2. Wait about 5 minutes.
3. Rub with a napkin.
4. Wash off with water.

Make-up remover milk

A small amount of milk must be applied to a cotton pad and wiped off with a felt-tip pen. The method will come to the rescue in a situation where the child gets his face dirty.

Liquid soap

Cosmetic for daily use can also come to the rescue when the mark from the felt-tip pen has not had time to stick into the skin. Soap should be applied to the surface to be treated and thoroughly (without undue effort) rubbed into the skin with a washcloth.

If after the first procedure the traces have not completely disappeared, you can repeat the manipulation.

Hand cream, petroleum jelly, or baby cream

In order to remove the felt-tip pen from the child's skin, you need to take a regular greasy hand cream. It shouldn't be moisturizing or rejuvenating. In the absence of the necessary funds, it can be replaced with a regular baby cream or petroleum jelly, which is characterized by high fat content. It is easy to use: apply to the skin, rub with a cotton swab, rinse with water.

Sunscreens and lotions

Sunscreens are also a good solution for removing the marker from the skin.

Therefore, its use for children suffering from diseases of the respiratory system, and for allergy sufferers is prohibited.

Dishwashing liquid

Dish detergent can also effectively wipe off an oil-based marker. It can be used on different parts of the body if the baby carries the components that make up it. The liquid must be applied to the problem area, wiped off the contamination and rinsed with water.
