A couple scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream should do the trick.

More pepper spray, you just gotta keep shooting it in there until it comes out.

But seriously get in a shower and just keep your face under the spray.

Taking a shower is NOT a good idea. That stuff rolls downhill with the water and it burns everything it touches.

It worked for me. For a bet I got shot in the face and the instantaneous relief of the cold water on my face and eyes was well well worth the slight sting on my arms and such afterwards. I did make it a point to stick my ass out as to keep my body away further away from my face.

Edit: Just to make this clear I am not a whore nor a masochist, I did it mainly for myself, it just worked out well that I got paid for doing it.

That's the key.

Running water... And time. I've got hit with the stuff that they don't let civilians have (work military security, and you have to get sprayed to carry it), and the only thing you can really do it wait it out.

Lots of water, though pepper spray is oil based (capsicum oil) so it's not gonna have an immediate effect. They make a spray nutralizer, but that's not a quick remedy.

keep running water over her eyes and face. dab off water with towel, then change towel. use fan. be very careful taking a shower as she likely got some in her hair, and the shower will likely reactivate it

I don't think that stuff (the neutralizer) works for sh!t... Didn't do anything for me, and the people that have been sprayed before said the same thing.
