How to Remove Hair Dye From Skin
It’s an experience that’s been faced by countless women: we
finish rinsing out our hair dye, let it dry, and then look in the mirror to
admire the gorgeous new color of our hair…and our ears…and our hands…and our
foreheads… If you’re using red dye, this can make it look like you were just
mauled by a wild animal – not necessarily a good look! Hair dye has a way of getting
lots of places other than our hair, and unless we want to hole up in our houses
for a few days while we wait for it to wear off, it’s a good idea to learn how to remove hair dye from skin
quickly. Here are a few of your options!
The great thing about this method is that toothpaste is
something everyone already has on hand! (At least, we hope.) Using your fingers
or a cotton ball, spread a thin layer of toothpaste over the stained area, and
gently rub it in, with a circular motion, for thirty to sixty seconds. Once
you’re done scrubbing, rinse your face with lukewarm water (you’ll probably
want to use a washcloth), until all traces of toothpaste – and hopefully dye! –
have been removed. If there’s still some dye left, repeat the process. (Toothpaste
with baking soda is the most effective.)
This is also a great way to prevent your skin from getting
stained in the first place: simply spread some along your hairline and any
other easily stained areas before starting the dye job. It should act as a
shield against stains. However, if it slips your mind beforehand, just massage
it in afterwards with a cotton ball or makeup removal pad. Once the dye begins
to tint the jelly, you’ll be able to tell that it’s working, and you can use a
wet rag to wipe it off. For really stubborn stains, you can let a thin coat of
petroleum jelly sit on your skin overnight and cleanse in the morning.
It’s not only the solution for removing nail polish; it can
also be used for hair dye! How to remove
hair dye with nail polish: soak a cotton pad or ball with an acetone-based
remover and rub it over the skin. Be careful to keep it away from your eyes,
and don’t use it on any sensitive areas of your face, as it can be somewhat
abrasive. You may want to consider using other methods to remove dye from
facial areas, and save nail polish remover for your neck and hands if needed.
Other products that people have used for answering the
question of how to get rid of hair dye
on skin: baby oil, laundry detergent, hairspray, and vinegar. With so many
options out there, there’s bound to be at least one or two that work for you!
And since most of these are things you already have on hand, they’re easy and
inexpensive methods. Just keep experimenting with these various ideas and
you’ll have normal-colored skin again in no time.
