Somehow managed to get hair due on my skin and now I look like an avatar. Never had hair dye stain my skin like this before and also hair dropped forward and got more on me. Bloody Schwarzkopf Live.

Any ideas on how to get rid?

And I don't wear / own a speck of makeup so that isn't an answer

That particular dye is terrible for staining skin. I wouldn't use it again. Plenty of others that don't dye skin like that. I currently use garnier nutrisse

I second micellar water, works a treat!

Have you got any alcohol wipes (come in some first aid kits), or alcohol hand gel? Won't promise it works on hair dye, but great at shifting permanent ink, so worth a try.

I second Dove soap, no other normal bar soap does the same job.

Spray hairspray on it.

Swarfega. It's the business for this kind of job. No one ever seems to try it when I post on these threads though. Sad

I've never tried it so I could be talking rubbish but I once heard that milk will shift it. This brand is the worst for it and I normally end up styling my hair to hide it for the first fees days after a fresh hair dye job!

I use those antibacterial wipes you can get for cleaning your kitchen.

I use the exfoliating facial wipes by Simple.

I have this problem all the time... With these areas I found lightly shavibg area helped, as fine hairs will have been dyed.

Try milk on cotton wool

SexLube, I keep it in because I dye my hair a lot. And because no other product does as goid s job at what it does.

Hope OP finds some.
