How can you remove the marks from hair dye from your face?

That depends on the type of dye and how sensitive your skin is. I have had success using benzoyl peroxide on spots overnight, but be cautious. It is drying (since it is meant to clear up acne), it bleaches anything it comes into contact with (clothing, sheets, towels, etc.), and if you get it in your hair it will remove the dye. It may only lighten the spot well enough to be effectively covered with makeup until it vanishes after a few days.

So, I searched the web for an answer to this question and found that many advised using one of the following products to remove the offending dye:

* WD-40

* Nail polish remover

* Hairpray

All suggested soaking a cotton ball with one of these and rubbing the area to remove the dye and then rinsing the area clean. NEVER spray any of these directly onto the skin. I have used nail polish remover with excellent results, but boy does it sting!

All of these will sting no doubt. I highly suggest using extreme caution since none of these are meant to be applied to facial skin. And don't use any of these near the eye area.

Next time you dye, apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to your hair line all around your face and the back of your neck to keep the dye from setting into skin.

I have tried nail polish remover before but, it didn't work for me it just stung really bad, I was scrubbing too.

This time (yes I did it again, I almost always do it) I tried toothpaste and it worked. I only had to scrub for maybe 3 minutes.

THANKS FOR THE TIP !!!!!

Put a little bit of dye on a cotton ball and wipe it on the stains. Then immediatly take a clean cotton ball and wipe it all off. Works like magic! A hairdresser taught me this.

Someone told me to use regular toothpaste, and it works! It's not a magic bullet, you have to do a little rubbing, but it will get most if not all of it off if you stick with it a bit. I also use it to "lighten" my mustache if I leave the color on too long. ( It won't dramatically lighten it, but when you go too dark even a little lighter makes you feel better!

I have read that toothpaste can get rid of hair dye stains on skin. It is mush less harsh to skin and its something we all have aorund, so its worth a shot right?

hello, after dying your hair get a washcloth and wet the corner in warm water rub soap on the corner of the washcloth and scrub your face until the dye comes off,the trick is not to wait too long to clean the dye off your face.

Remember this saying: Color removes color!!!

When you are in the shower wet your hair a little and take your fingers and rub all around your hair line and a little into your face, incase any color got on that part of your face, with the color and then rinse out the color and shampoo. It works 100% everytime for me and if I miss a spot I have what is left in the bottle to get the remainder off.

I use Witch Hazel on a cotton ball as soon as you notice the mark, so during dying normally. Tends to work though it may take a bit of scrubbing.

You can't, the best option would be to dye your whole face, this would then cover the marks by blending with the rest of the dye.

put vaseline around your face and ears before dying your hair so you cna wipe off the parts that get on your face - if you get some on your face then use rubbing alcohol to get it off.

NO NO NO you are all wrong!
