Oh ah, I don't object so much to the white spirit, it's not pleasant but it's not unutterably awful; but the paint we've got is horrendous. It's like painting in a solvent factory (and not a nice old-style marker pen solvent factory, oh no).
The paint, actually doesn't smell *that* bad until it's drying.
My skin just goes a bit dry with white spirit; I was brought up to believe that which doesn't immediately remove your skin or burn you horribly is perfectly viable for washing your hands in, so I've cleaned my hands in white spirit and acetone before :)

Not that I'd recommend it...
