Parents should remember that it is much easier to wash the marker from the baby's skin when it is water-based. In this case, it is enough to use warm water and a small amount of soft baby soap. If you follow the fact that the baby will use just such devices, there will be no problems with his subsequent "cleaning".

Traces that leave an alcohol marker or permanent marker are much harder to wipe off. If the area of ​​skin lesions is small, it is better to wait until the traces themselves come off as a result of exfoliation of the upper layer of the epidermis. In cases of significant coverage of the baby's skin with colored paint, it is better to use one of the proven and safe means, otherwise the components of the composition can be absorbed into the tissues and will not lead to anything good.

The safest but very effective approaches to the

Regardless of which type of impact is chosen, it is necessary to act very carefully and consistently. Do not help one way, wait until the baby's skin dries and try to take something else. It is strictly forbidden to combine ingredients from different formulations, even if individually they seem absolutely safe. First, the felt-tip pen should be removed with the simplest means with a minimal risk of irritation. These include the following:

  • Soap and very warm water. You can use both a solid bar and a liquid product analog, the main thing is that it is hypoallergenic and suitable for the baby. In the first case, we rub the stems ourselves with a bar, in the second case with a damp washcloth. If the first time you can not wash everything off, we make several approaches with a break of at least half an hour.
  • Hand Cream. It should be very greasy and in no case moisturizing. Nice to remove the marker and sunscreen. Apply the product to the contaminated area, wait 5-10 minutes, wash the product with a slightly damp sponge. If necessary, repeat the manipulation.

Tip: Whichever product is planned to be used, we begin the procedure with a careful washing of the area with soap and water. This will remove the protective fat from the skin and increase the efficiency of the chosen approach. After the desired result is achieved, be sure to treat the cleared skin with a protective or moisturizing baby cream.

  • Makeup remover milk. We take a cotton pad, we moisten it with milk and carefully try to erase the marker from the baby's skin. This is the best option, if the kid has managed to write himself a face. Remainder of the product is removed with a clean cloth, we wash the child not earlier than in half an hour( this will get rid of the almost imperceptible remnants of the paint).

All listed methods are equally effective against traces of a felt pen, ballpoint pen and marker.

What to do with very persistent stains?

If the listed compounds do not help, and you need to rinse the felt pen urgently, you can try any of the following approaches:

  • Antiseptic. Apply the composition directly to the traces of paint and wipe them off with a soft cloth or napkin for half a minute. After that, rinse the skin with water and dry it.
  • Table salt. This option is not suitable for the treatment of very delicate skin, for example, on the face. First, soak the area for 10 minutes( you can even take a bath), then apply a very damp salt to the still damp skin and rub it gently for a few seconds. You can repeat up to three times.
  • Alcohol. Wadded cotton swab with alcohol and apply to the picture. After a few seconds, he should brighten up or even get off. There is nothing to rub!

It is worth considering that when working with delicate baby skin it is forbidden to use such effective means as boric acid and liquid to remove varnish. It is better to spend a little more time, but to clean the product without risks.

Unusual methods for removing traces of

There are several non-standard ways to deal with specific pollution. They are not so often used, but in practice the approaches have proved themselves only from the best side.

  • Coconut or butter. Take a piece of oil, lightly warm it in the hands and apply to the surface of the skin, slightly rubbing the painted areas. Leave for 3 minutes, after which we take a soft washcloth and try to wash the rest of the paint. Next, use warm water with soap to remove greasy marks.
  • Spray from insects. Repellent, which is suitable for the child, just spray on the surface of the skin, where the marker remained. After 10 seconds we begin to rub the composition with a cotton disc, after which we wash it off with warm water and soap.
  • Wet wipes. These can be antiseptic products, hygienic or profile for removing makeup. The main thing is not to rub them with the skin for too long and after treatment it is necessary to rinse the cleaned place.
  • Toothpaste. Wet the place of contamination with warm water, abundantly apply white toothpaste without additives( well, if it is a product with red or blue, and not black marking on the tail of the tube).After three minutes thoroughly rub the area with a damp washcloth and rinse with clean water.

Despite the fact that modern writing accessories rarely cause children irritation and allergic manifestations, in case of detection of negative signs it is necessary to immediately consult a doctor and act only on his recommendations.
