To remove super glue from skin, the most effective and commonly recommended method is to use acetone, which is found in many nail polish removers. The steps are to gently rub a small amount of acetone on the glued skin, which helps break down the adhesive bond. After the glue loosens, the skin can be gently peeled apart. Then wash the area with soap and water and apply some lotion to prevent dryness. If acetone is not available, soaking the skin in warm, soapy water or using alternatives like rubbing alcohol, lemon juice, margarine, olive oil, or petroleum jelly can help soften and loosen the glue. These methods may take longer but are gentler on the skin. For delicate areas such as eyelids or lips, washing with warm water and avoiding pulling the skin is advised. If glue remains for more than a couple of days or causes irritation, it is recommended to see a doctor. Key steps:
- Use acetone or nail polish remover on the glued skin.
- Gently peel the skin apart once the glue softens.
- Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
- Apply lotion to soothe the skin.
- If no acetone, try warm soapy water, lemon juice, olive oil, or petroleum jelly.
- Avoid forceful pulling to prevent skin damage.
- Seek medical advice if irritation or prolonged adhesion occurs.
