To ask for your IMMEDIATE help as I've accidentally dyed my hands red

[ladywithredhands]

So embarrassing.

I have a pair of old red gloves I wear under the fake tan mitt. Tonight I forgot I had thrown my mitt away so decided to apply just wearing the gloves.

Have taken them off to see that my hands are BRIGHT RED.

It won't wash off with soap or washing up liquid.

I need ideas fast please. I'm a normal person with a professional job and this cannot have happened to me

Salt or sugar and oil for some kind of scrub?

Try perfume?

Hairspray? That takes the dye out of clothes

Sugar mixed with the washing up liquid?

No one will notice. It’s not that bad.

Washing powder and sugar is brilliant or washing up liquid with sugar.
Tbh, it doesn’t look all that bad. Just wave with your other hand.

Bicarb of soda should do the trick. Make it into a paste with water. I got a dodgy fake tan off with that!

BOTH hands look like this

Try nail varnish remover on cotton wool.

WD40?

Doesn't look that bad. When I get dye on my skin from dyeing my hair I use copious amounts of alcohol hand gel which seems to work, just moisturise generously afterwards so it doesn't dry your skin out.

White spirit should take it off, just make sure you use moisturising soap afterwards. I used to work in a job where I got regularly covered in dyes and there was very little that white spirit or Big Wipes, didn't take off.

Unlikely anyone will notice, it's not like they're bright blue or green or anything! Assuming you work mon-fri, it'll be back to normal by Monday so just don't wander around palms up tomorrow or high-five too many people

Or fag ash maybe, that’s meant to take hair dye off- sorry for double post but I know several people swear by it.

Toothpaste got food dye off my hands.

Or soak them in oil?

I dyed mine bright purple for a week with animal antiseptic spray. I'm an HCP....

Have you got any naice lace gloves ...?

I dyed mine blue with Dylon once. A quick splash of bleach and it literally ran off! I made sure I washed my hands thoroughly afterwards and they were fine.

baby wipes?

Swarfega?

It's coming off but very slowly with nail polish remover.

Going to have sore hands tomorrow though!

Bleach.... Will turn your hands a bit green when you wash it off.... bitten wash with some soap and moisturise...

Don’t think it’s bad but if you exfoliate it a bit it will be fainter. You can buy stuff that removes it off skin but I’ve done this before and it goes after a couple of days and if it’s faint no one will notice anyway.

Window cleaning stuff with ammonia in it is worth a try if you have any

Babywipes

Btw.... I've given up with mits and gloves when I do my DS fake tan for his comps.... and use bleach every time.... doit quickly so you're skin not in contact with it too long...
