About This Article
To get dried hair dye off of your skin, try soaking a cotton ball or pad with oil-based makeup remover. Gently dab the stain with the makeup remover, wait about 5 minutes, then rinse the area. Another option is to massage the stain with an oil, such as coconut, baby, or olive oil. Let the oil sit on the stain for several hours, then wash the area with soap and water. For more stubborn dyes, try gently rubbing the stain with non-gel toothpaste that contains baking soda. The gentle abrasives in the toothpaste can help rub the stain away. Rubbing alcohol is also great for breaking down stains, but be careful to keep it away from your eyes and other sensitive areas.
