you can use baby oil in a pinchWww@QuestionHome@Com

Mineral turpentine ; you can buy it from the hardware store or supermarket!.

Soak the brushes in a jar filled with turpentine and use a rag dipped in turpentine to remove it from your hands!.

Dispose of the rags carefully!. Let them dry out on the line before throwing them away!. Rags soaked with turpentine can spontaneously combust!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

dip them in kerosene oil!.
kerosene oil is blue in colour



or else, dip them in loose turpentine!.!.!.!.!.that's what we used to do!.!.!.!.!.!.!.dip them in coarse turpentine oilWww@QuestionHome@Com

Soak them in white spirit!. And next time clean them before you go to bed - it's a lot easier when they're not dried up!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi,

There are products to clean your hands!. it's not advisable to use mineral spirits, thinners and alikes!.
Check Slig Spezial by Stokolan, Gojo or 7855 by Loctite!.
There are also products from art supply stores!.
Remember to wash your brushes with soap and water at the end and make sure that the ferrule is well cleaned!.

Kind regards,
