How to Get Hair Dye off Your Face

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Buy a toothpaste to remove the hair dye stain.

   They tend to be even more abrasive, and baking soda has stain-lifting properties in it.

   Step 2: Apply a thin layer of toothpaste over the stained area of skin.

   You can use your fingers if you don’t mind getting a little messy; otherwise, use a cotton ball.
   
   The toothpaste layer should not be too thick — you want a thin layer. , Some sources suggest using a toothbrush to rub the toothpaste into your skin, but that could result in skin irritation, so don’t do that.
   
   Instead, use your fingers or a cotton ball to gently massage the toothpaste into the dyed area using a circular motion.
   
   Be careful not to rub too aggressively, as this can irritate your skin.
   
   Take a break or stop the process altogether if your skin starts burning or itching. , Use a face cleaning product to make sure your face is clear of all products that don’t belong there.
   
   If the stain isn’t completely removed at this point, repeat the process as many times as is necessary.
