The best way I know of is the use of a skin friendly oil. Work it in well and keep rubbing. If you are having trouble, use a bit of abrasive, such as corn meal mixed into the oil.
To prevent this happening in future, put lots of hand cream or lotion on the exposed areas of skin, wear gloves or invest in the product "Gloves in a Bottle" which can be found in many good paint retail stores and some craft stores.

If you have painted something with oil based paint why can't you clean the brushes with water?
Because soap and water are NOT oil based. Oil based means you need to use an oil-based thinner to clean brushes and spills.
