Wear vinyl gloves. I don't use epoxy much any more, but it is entirely cleanable with soap and water. Takes longer than acetone, of course. Acetone alone "defats" the skin, will dissolve a lot of the moisturizer out of it. I still do use some acetone, but try to limit the amount as much as possible. Acetone will also dissolve the epoxy and the skin absorbs small amounts including the epoxy which can eventually lead to (accelerate) sensitivity. Do wear gloves.
