Lemon juice is a natural bleach that is also popular to lighten hair in the sun. Therefore, you should make sure that the juice does not get on the freshly dyed hair, but only on the places where you want to remove hair color from the skin. Rub the paint stains off the skin by rubbing them with a rag soaked in lemon juice.

You can achieve a longer exposure time if you make a mask with lemon. Mix instant oat flakes with lemon juice to make a spreadable paste that you apply as a mask and leave on for 20 minutes. Then wash off thoroughly. You should never use this mask if you have open skin areas such as scratches, abrasions or pimples, as the acid from the lemon juice would irritate the skin too much!

Hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is behind product names such as “Mild bleaching without chlorine”, “Active oxygen” or “Oxykraft”. “With active oxygen” is often advertised in the trade. This “active oxygen” in cleaning agents is nothing more than hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide that you can buy is heavily diluted with water and mixed with a stabilizer so that it does not break down into its components water and oxygen when it comes into contact with metal. In the pharmacy you can buy this product in (almost) any concentration.

Hydrogen peroxide works very well against organic dyes, i.e. those of vegetable origin.  With synthetic paints, hydrogen peroxide is usually powerless, but it depends on a try!

peeling

The top layer of skin is removed by peeling and a lighter layer of skin underneath comes to the surface. A peeling is therefore suitable to remove hair color from the skin. You can get a cheap and simple peeling if you mix a lot of table sugar or salt with a little lemon or orange juice to a granular pulp and use it as a peeling. The fruit acid contained in the citrus fruits also helps to intensify the peeling and bleaching effect.

Cooking oil
