Scrub. You'll basically need to remove the top layer of skin. Sorry.

ow!! do you think nail varnish remover would take it off without damaging my skin?

Clean & Clear lotion always works to get dye from around the hair line, might be worth a go on your arm before you take a wire brush to your skin?

I've used nail polish remover and a cloth to remove it before. It got it off but the vigorous rubbing did leave a slight red mark for an hour or so.

i've used nail polish remover before now. How long has it been on there? A baby wipe will get it off straight away, for future reference. I would try bleach, but I don't have sensitive skin and am reckless. Preferable to scrubbing my skin off.

milk? Why would you even think that milk could work?

ShadeofViolet · 16/05/2010 14:35

I have used bleack before - though I wouldnt recommend it.

Worked though.

the facewash worked. i had only just done my hair and noticed it so only about 10 minutes.

i have been told before by a hairdresser that milk takes it off but never had reason to try it until now.
