Epoxy: Epoxy contact on skin

Hi everyone,
I was glassing the inside of my deck last weekend when I felt a snag on my gloves. I looked and I had a hole in my glove and pulled them off and had epoxy on my hand. I went in the house and all I had to wash with was Dawn detergent. I washed and scrubed well and went on and finished the job.
What is the best cleaner for this type of skin contact? Was the dawn OK or should I have a different cleaner ready for emergency clean up? I wanted to post this so others would get this information and be better prepaired than I was.
Thanks,
Clayton Plunkett
