How do you get chemical dye off your skin?

Skin peels constantly. It will go away with time.

It really depends what’s in the dye. Some are nastier than others. As @ragingloli said, it’ll go away over time.

The more serious question is – was the dye in any way dangerous (burn the skin, for example).

The teacher had told us to be careful because it could create a reaction with the skin. At first, it stung a bit but it doesn’t hurt anymore. I had gloves on, but I was wearing short sleeves.

Here are some suggestions I’ve used to get hair dye off skin. It might work for the dye you used. I’ve used rubbing alcohol or finger polish remover.

Try some Dawn Dishwashing Liquid.

I wouldn’t pour and cover my arms with either rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover (fumes first of all . . . .) !

You don’t pour it on the skin. You put it on cotton balls or a wash cloth, then scrub.

Powdered laundry detergent if you have any.

Or a paste of baking soda rubbed into the skin. You’d be surprised how many things it removes.

Baking soda with vinegar @snowberry ?

Baking soda by itself is abrasive enough to remove a lot of things that would not otherwise come off easily. And it’s non-toxic. For example it will remove ink from a pen from a painted wall.

Baking soda with vinegar might also work. It produces a different chemical reaction which might or might not remove or lighten the color on the hands.

Don’t mix the baking soda with vinegar. It will behave badly.

It just fizzes. But it won’t damage the skin. Combining baking soda and vinegar is acceptable as an elementary school science experiment. All it does is fizz, so @SergeantQueen should do it over a sink.

I wash my hands with bleach water after I dye my hair. Or fabric.
