- As you know, the skin consists of several layers. The paint, getting on the skin, will gradually stain layer by layer. If you don't try to remove the paint right away, it will stain the deeper layers of your skin and make it very difficult to remove.
- If the dye absorbs and stains the deeper layers of the skin, then you will have to use more aggressive products that can damage the skin.
- Rub your skin for about 30 seconds and then wash off with warm water.
- If you are having trouble removing paint stains, try again, only this time add a pinch of baking soda.
- Apply the oil to your skin using a cotton swab or wet wipe.
- You can stain your bedding with oil if you touch it while you sleep. To avoid this, wear gloves or clean socks on your hands.
- Use a cotton swab to remove excess oil from your hands and wash them with soap and water.
- Use a mild dish soap that won't dry out your hands.
- Apply the makeup remover to a cotton swab or loofah and scrub the stain with it. Wait at least five minutes before rinsing off your hands.
- If you have makeup remover wipes on hand, you can use them to remove paint from your hands. By using a wipe, you can exfoliate dead skin cells and remove paint.
Method 2 of 3: Removing paint with more aggressive products
- 1 Spray your hands with hairspray. Hairspray is a proven product that helps remove dye from your hands. However, the alcohol in this product can dry out your skin.
- Spray hairspray on a cotton swab and then wipe it over your hands. Hairspray can penetrate deep into the skin, and a cotton swab will remove dead cells.
- Rinse the hairspray off your hands with warm water.
- 2 Mix washing powder with baking soda. Rub the stain with the mixture. Although this product can be irritating, you can quickly remove paint from your hands using it. Baking soda contains abrasive particles that can exfoliate and remove dead colored skin cells.
- Prepare a 1: 1 mixture of powder and baking soda (mix 1 teaspoon of powder with 1 teaspoon of baking soda).
- Massage the mixture into the skin for 30-60 seconds.
- Rinse off with warm water.
- 3 Make a paste from cigarette ash and warm water. Oddly enough it sounds, but this tool is capable of working miracles. Use only cool ash. Remember that this is not a gentle method for removing hair dye from your hands.
- Mix cold cigarette ash with warm water in a small bowl, then use a cotton swab to apply the resulting paste over the paint stains.
- Wait 15 minutes. The stain will begin to fade gradually.
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
- 4 Use nail polish remover if other methods have failed. The acetone in nail polish remover can remove paint from your hands. Keep in mind, however, that nail polish remover is quite harsh and can cause dryness and other serious damage to your hands. Never use nail polish remover to remove paint in the eye area.
- Soak a cotton swab in nail polish remover and rub it over your skin. Don't rub too hard.
- If you feel a burning sensation, stop immediately and rinse your hands with warm water.
Method 3 of 3: Cleaning your nails
- 1 Dip a cotton swab in nail polish remover. Apply the product to your nails as soon as the paint has hit the skin and has not yet had time to penetrate into its deep layers.
- There are a lot of dead skin cells on the nails, so they absorb paint very easily. Without removing the dead cells, you cannot remove the paint.
- Rub the cotton swab over your nails and you will see the swab absorb the paint from your nails.
- 2 Trim the cuticle if it also gets dyed. If your cuticle is also the color of your hair, use a cuticle clipper to cut it off. In this case, you do not have to use nail polish remover.
- 3 Use a nail brush or toothbrush to remove paint from under your nails. If you need to remove paint from under your nails, use a clean toothbrush or nail brush to do this.
- Soak the brush in soapy water to remove any paint that has gotten under your nails.
- 4 Cover your nails with varnish if you are having trouble removing the paint. If you've tried everything and can't seem to remove the paint, you can varnish your nails. This will keep your nails looking good and will also mask the unsightly stain.
Tips
- Cover your hands and skin around your face with petroleum jelly if you know they might be stained with hair dye. The petroleum jelly will act as a barrier and keep the paint from getting on your skin.
- Wear gloves when dyeing your hair to avoid getting paint on your hands.
Warnings
- If you use a washcloth to remove paint, be aware that you can ruin it. Therefore, you should not use your mother's favorite washcloth! You can find a suitable cloth that you won't mind throwing away.
