I tend to avoid painting in winter because we don’t have good air circulation at home. The paint fumes stay indoors since I can’t leave my windows and doors open for a long period, or it will get too cold. That’s why I am so glad that the weather is getting warmer. I have tons of DIY projects lined up and can’t wait to get them started. I am also planning to renovate my room and paint the walls in different colors. One of the things I don’t like most when painting is having paint on my skin, so I always wear my paint suit to prevent that from happening.

Some people don’t like to wear them and they are fine even if they get paint on their hands. If you are one of them, you will surely find this tip helpful. Billshowto suggests using kerosene to remove paint from your hands, but it is not recommended. The same goes for thinners. They can release harmful vapors that you can inhale, which can cause dizziness, headaches, and nausea. These products can even irritate your skin and even cause dermatitis. You surely don’t want that to happen, so stay away from these chemicals and use olive oil or baby oil instead.
