Is there an expedient way to get water-based latex paint off of your skin?

i've got a big splotch of it on my leg, and i've been scrubbing it once a day with hot water and soap for a few days now, but it's not completely coming off. Any suggestions on how to get it off quickly?Is there an expedient way to get water-based latex paint off of your skin?
With all due respect, Water would have worked instantly initially.





I paint every day of my life, probably wear a lot as well, and removal is easy? I'm very confused about your issue. First of all I'll assume you didn't wipe it immediately. Do you bathe or shower? A shower or bath with any soap and a shower scrubby would remove it. Latex becomes LIKE a Skin and water will peel it even when dry, it works all the time in paint cans and paint roller trays. No offense but if your LEG is hairy, the paint may stick to the hair more, but...................





Just ones natural body oils and moisture would help peel it.





Obviously you can spend money on products, but unless you need them otherwise, why bother??? Liquid dish detergent, liquid laundry detergent, bar soap, HARD scrubbing with water even using a car wash rag will work.





I think I'd be checking the paint can label.

Just my 2 ';sense';Is there an expedient way to get water-based latex paint off of your skin?
If it is indeed a latex paint then water and a nail brush or loofah should take it right off! If it's an oil based paint then you will need something like a paint remover sold at hardware stores but you could try baby oil or vegtable oil that seems to help loosen it at least!
Kind of strange that it didn't come off with just soap and warm water. Try a little nail polish remover and a nail brush. If that doesn't work, you might want to switch your brand of paint.
Baby oil works great!
Orange hand cleaner with pumice, like Gojo, works well.
