1. Soap and water
Your first defence when you notice hair dye on your skin should be to use soap and warm water to try to remove it.
If you start to wipe off the dye before it dries or shortly after applying the dye, this may be enough to remove it. If not, or if it has already stained your skin, you may need to try one of the additional methods below.
2. Olive oil
Olive oil is not just for cooking, (oh no!) it’s a natural cleanser that will help to remove stains from your skin. This may be an especially good option for people with sensitive skin, but anyone can try it.
- To use, pour a small amount of olive oil on a cotton ball, or use your finger and gently rub it into the stained area of your skin. Leave it on for up to 8 hours.
- If you’re going to sleep with it on, you may want to cover it with a bandage or plastic so it doesn’t stain anything.
- To remove, wash it off with warm water.
3. Rubbing alcohol
Rubbing alcohol can be harsh and drying to the skin, so this may not be a great option if you have very sensitive or dry skin.
- To use as a dye remover, pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto a cotton ball or cotton pad.
- Gently dab it on the stained portion of your skin.
- Once the dye is off, be sure to rinse the area with warm water and soap.
4. Toothpaste
Toothpaste can help remove stains from teeth, but it may also help remove hair dye stains from your skin.
- Use a non-gel toothpaste, and apply a small amount onto a cotton swab or your finger.
- Gently massage it over the dye on your skin.
- Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes, and then remove with a washcloth soaked in warm water.
5. Dish soap and baking soda
- Baking soda is exfoliating, and dish soap can help to dissolve the dye.
- To use, combine gentle dish soap and baking soda to form a paste.
- Gently rub the paste over the stained area on your hands, and then rinse with warm water.
