#6: Nail Polish Remover

Nail polish remover is a widespread technique used to remove hair dye from the skin –but if you choose to use this solution, proceed with caution as acetone can be irritating to the skin.

#7: Hand Sanitizer

I know you have some sitting in your linen closet or under the bathroom sink. You can use it to remove hair dye stains from your hands, too. Just apply it to the area and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Then wipe it off. It might take multiple applications over the span of a day or two to remove the stain.

#8: Toothpaste

Toothpaste is gentle, but some varieties have just enough grit to scrub off a stain. This is especially true if you use bleaching toothpaste. Wet the area and apply a generous amount to toothpaste. Scrub and rinse.

#9: Dish Soap and Baking Soda

Like toothpaste, baking soda has enough grit to scrub your hands and nails without causing damage to your skin. Mix the baking soda with dishwashing liquid in equal proportions and rub onto wet skin. The stains should disappear.

These are just 9 ways to remove hair dye from the skin.
