mummylin2495 · 23/05/2009 22:11

Liquid soap with a teaspoon of granulated sugar in it makes a good scrub for removing stains on skin.

Sidge · 23/05/2009 22:14

Did she rob a bank or summat?

starkadder · 23/05/2009 22:15

Yep, sugar mixed in with washing up liquid is great for removing engine grease, anyway.

???
I often do this when I'm colouring my hair. Try skin toner, the stuff you put on your face. It works if the dye is wet. If it's dry then it's too late, she needs to wash it every day so to make sure the old skin gets washed off.

NOT mildew scourer

Can she go to A&E and complain she is turning into a SMURF??

ravenAK · 23/05/2009 22:33

Oh dear.

It'll come off eventually with soap & a flannel .

Next time tell her to mix it in an old bowl - those silly applicator bottles are just trouble.

FluffyBunnyGoneBad · 23/05/2009 22:33

PMSL!!!

How did she manage this anyway?

She said she was putting it on her hair and the bottle just split/ exploded.

Her eyebrows and face are blue and she has blue all down her back, its on her chest as she was nude when she was doing it (tmi).

Only my sister, she is hopeless
