Here's How To Get Rid Of Hair Dye On Skin

A non-soap cleanser and water is the simplest way to get rid of hair dye on skin, says Zeichner. If that fails, try (very gently) using rubbing alcohol, which should do the trick. If you go down this route, it's important to remember to moisturize the affected area afterward. "It is important to repair the skin barrier with a moisturizer," Zeichner noted, adding, "I recommend a petrolatum-based product, as it forms a protective seal over the skin."

If Zeichner's method doesn't remove every single speck of hair dye on your body, or you simply can't reach it, you can rest easy knowing that it will fade eventually. "The good news is, in time, as your skin cells naturally turnover, you will shed the pigment within one to two weeks on its own," says Zeichner.
