I use wet ones. Scrubbing with regular soap (not "beauty wash") works too but takes longer.

How to get oil spots off

Off your person, I mean. No idea about getting it off of clothing. I always manage to get a little bit of gear oil on my legs, somehow.
Eye makeup remover! I use the L'Oreal liquid although I imagine others would work too.

I use either my face wash (Target knock-off of Neutrogena), or put a bit of cheap hand lotion on it and scrape it off gently using an old gift card or something similar.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

Real soap. I make my own. Detergent "soap" just doesn't cut it.

Fast Orange. Too much time working on the motorized vehicles.
Works great to take that invisible hot pepper oil off your fingers before removing contact lenses, too.

Did you have a pepper incident prior to discovering this?

Almond oil, Grapeseed Oil, pretty much any unscented oil that ccan be used as a moisturiser....could probably use Olive oil too, but have no desire to smell like olives for long...but maybe, if it was all i had on hand.
