cleaning dye from hands

Message: How do you remove tye-die from your skin? Help! My hands are pink!!! Thanks a bunch!

Time is the best answer. Here's a quote from "How can I get the dye off my hands?" in the FAQ section of my website:

Dye stains will wear off within one to three days, when the outermost
layer of skin cells is shed. While a hand cleaner, ReDuRan, can be
used, not everyone finds it effective enough to be worth the trouble.
You should certainly not use bleach to remove the dye (bleach is a
far more hazardous chemical than the dyes!), but a loofah or other
scrubber is often quite helpful in removing dye from the skin, simply
by removing the dyed skin cells.
