Just wash your face with nothing special., take one or two pain killers /
aspirin if you can't stand it.
Or go and sit down for a while, take a drink and cry a lot, normally it will
be gone in an hour.

Unless you have a very sensitive skin you only feel the irritating in your
eyes.
So washing your face is recommended but will only help when you wash your
eye balls, but this can cause irritating again, I would prefer rinsing with
lots of water.
For the skin I would use babysoap, milk (any liquid with fat will do) or a
solution with alcohol in it ( I would prefer beer, it may not help but it
sure does taste good...)

Next thing passing my hypothetical mind is you take one or two slices of
fresh bread, rub a little to much good olive oil on your face, this absorbs
the Cap, put the bread slices on your face, dab, and let the oils get in to
the bread.
Call it i.a. Next Generation Bread or so... and eat it. 
Or rub your face with peanut butter, it may help any how don't forget to
show yourself to your family, naburs friends etc... let them enjoy of the
way you look!

  Subject: [CH] hypothetical cap question
  
  
  So let's say, hypothetically of course, that during the making of some
  curried shrimp, I ended up with capsaicin (from scotch bonnet peppers)
  all over my face and in my eyes.  Hypothetically only, you 
  understand, since
  I'd never be stupid enough to do this for real.  What would 
  be the best
  way to stop the extremely painful (yet hypothetical) burning? 
   Washing my
  face with buttermilk (since I was out of hypothetical regular 
  milk) and some 
  time in an air-conditioned room seems to have done the trick, 
  but is there a 
  better way to deal with this?  If, of course, it ever happens.
  
  thanks!
