Dam that sounds good:} Yea my Physicist Brother enlightened me to that fact of course we had a couple of shots while de-toxing my nose-pickin finger....Thx Lucky and Bite me Mill
It works really, really well. 
Oil is not great - it'll dilute the pepper oils, but not remove them. The gin actually absorbs the oils and then they wash off in soapy water.

Moved to correct forum.
I like to use Gojo hand soap with pumice. I get that free nail brush they put on the bottle and get deep into the nooks and crannies and scrub it all away. I figure since its made to get greasy grime off mechanics hands it has no trouble with the oils. I am going to try the gin method though, that definitely makes sense.
I always do the first washing with cold water and soap. I don't "know" that it works better, but it sure seems to! I got it in my head that cold water closes the skin pores enough to rinse away the oil before it absorbs into the skin. But maybe now it's just become a superstition! hahaha
When I was a kid, I got badly burned chopping jalapenos. My mom ended up calling poison control and they advised soaking my hands in cold vinegar or cold milk. I don't know too many adults that have time to sit around "soaking" - so I vote for LDHS's remedy! And if a little spilled into a glass with ice, tonic, and a bit of lime....all the better!

real men enjoy the burning sensation. Wuss
I find that if you remove the offending burning fingers they don't burn anymore.
That jes ain't right, How the heck am I going to play my guitar with no fingers? :}
Sic em Max!
Wash hands with dishliquid. Dry hands. Pour rubbing alcohol into cupped hands and work into hands and fingers as if it were soap. Wash hands with dishliquid. Dry hands. No problem afterward.
I wear contact lenses and after ruining several pairs (they are water soluble, hence pepper oil soluble), I learned that this method is the only method that totally works every time.

Yes. Like Sex Panther.
That's funny. I also use dawn and B&B. Just cause they're both there, but it works
I came across this on another forum & was a bit critical till I tried it works! Works better than anything else I have ever tried!
Wet your hands, put a tablespoon full of sugar in your palm and rub in to your hands like you were washing them, then add
a dab of dishwashing liquid (I use blue Dawn) rub it in and wash with water and rinse, the cap will be gone!! Try it,
IT WORKS!!!!!!

Good to know. Your peppers set my hands on fire when I was prepping them for chili a few days ago.
Coconut oil.
