let it dry then rub your fingers together. Next time lick your fingers first.

lacquer thinner will work but chances are you won't have that in your home, nail polish remover might work.

Using harsh chemicals can react with the caulk making it a worse sticky mess in the long run.

Your best bet is to let it harden and peel it off.

I always found it easy and workable, not to mention nontoxic, to scrub my hands with plain white sugar. I never had caulking on my hands but all manner of other paints, glues, motor oil etc.
