I know that this sounds sick but I have always heard that you are suppose to rub wet ashes on it and it will remove the dye. I haven't tried it though. Good Luck!

If you can, run out to the drugstore and look around the section for the hair dyes. There is usually something in a bottle that will help remove it, or some sort of wipes with that same function.

What a predicament you've gotten yourself into!! I'm sorry--this is serious, I know.
I would call the toll free number on the hair dye box and ask them what to do, unless you did a homemade concoction, then I'm clueless as to what would possibly get that off of the skin....what abt nail polish remover? Go lightly, first, though, but it takes dyes off of nails, and I've taken it off of my hands when I've painted. Try paint remover if you have any, but first, try the dye company.

Try a sink cleaner like Ajax, that chalky powdery stuff used to scrub down sinks and showers. I could have the name wrong, but it shakes out of a can and is white and chalky and can be wetted down. Wet some down to make a paste and apply it to the hair dye and SCRUB! It works great, I have jet black hair and it takes dye of my face and neck every time, but you may have to repeat it a few times! Good luck!

Hi, I think I can help. This happend to me and I called my salon lady and she told me to do this.
The best way to get it out is by CAREFULLY dabbing a little of the peroxide left from your dye on just the spot in your face where you have the stain. That worked great for me. If that doesn't work, which it should (unless you have put lots of stuff ontop of it and actually sealed it) but not for ever dont worry. try a little Windex! I know! weird! but it worked on my friend i used it on her when I didn't know about the peroxide. Hope I can be of help. but remember be very careful.

Ok - I know this sounds crazy, but once I did my sister in laws hair with a black hair dye, and I used a brillo pad and just gently scrubbed until the color was gone. Not saying you should do this, but it worked for her. Hers was on the back of her neck.

I'm not sure, but vaseline or good lotion helps get some other skin stains out by lifting them off dry skin. You may have to just lighten it up, though, and wear coverup for a couple of days.

this might not help alot but try penut butter my brother was blowing bubbles with his bubble gum and the bubble popped and got stuck to his face and he couldnt get it off and penut butter worked great or you could try rubbing alcohal, gave myself a tatoo and my dad tried rubbing alcohal on it and it faded or nail polish remover that stuffs smell could kill a stain
good luck (sorry for the bad luck)

Try a facial mask like a mudd mask that gets it off every time.
