BICARBONATE OF SODA
Sodium bicarbonate is a good ally to remove hair dye from your skin at home, since it is an excellent natural cleanser.

Once the hair colour stain has been removed, rinse the skin well and be sure to moisturise it well.
OXYGENATED WATER
Hydrogen peroxide not only works as a disinfectant, but also as a stain remover for certain things, and hair dye and clothes dye is one of them. Soak a cotton ball with plenty of hydrogen peroxide and rub gently on the area you want to remove the hair colour from.
VASELINE
Vaseline is a product that everyone should have at home. it is useful for many things, and can even help to remove hair dye from your face and neck, as its properties mean it is absorbed quickly. Apply it with cotton wool along the hairline, or stained area, let it act for a few seconds and when you see that it has turned the colour of the hair dye, remove it with a damp cloth. And ... voilà! Goodbye stains.
TOOTHPASTE
Toothpaste is a powerful cleaning agent and dye remover too. Apply toothpaste on the area stained with hair colour, massage gently for a couple of minutes and rinse well with warm water. Try repeating the process several times if you see that the stain is very intense and does not get rid of the hair dye.
BABY OIL
The oily texture of baby oil is ideal remover for hair dye stains on your skin. Just a few drops on your skin or some cotton and rubbing gently around the hairline will magic your skin back to normal.
MAKE-UP REMOVER
As with baby oil, makeup removers are usually suitable for removing hair dye from the face and neck or hands, as they are designed to remove makeup, a beauty product similar to hair dye.
WASHING DETERGENT
This can also be very effective against hair dye stains. Make sure to choose one that is not perfumed or coloured as this can irritate your skin.
Apply directly to the skin, rub in well and rinse with warm water. Repeat the process several times to remove the hair colour completely. If the stain does not disappear try putting moisturiser on your hands and try again. The combination of these two together is very effective.
