How to remove hair dye from your skin
Micellar water works quite well to remove hair dye from your skin. There are also hair dye removal pads you can use if your skin is stained and you're in a rush to remove it.

If you get your hair dyed by a professional, always request that they use a skin barrier cream. They'll put it around your hairline, around your ears, and on the back of your neck. It does not allow the hair dye to get on your skin, so it won't create a residual staining effect. Professionals may also have stronger treatments for removing dye than what you can use at home.
How do I get rid of strawberry legs fast? It's giving me the ick.
To clear clogged pores, really concentrate on cleansing your skin. Try an enzyme-based cleanser, which is phenomenal for the pores. Enzymes really shrink and tighten the pores. A pore is like a little bag or a little socket, and it can accumulate dirt, oils, sweat, all that stuff. And the more it accumulates, the more room it makes for the stuff to sit inside it. And that's why they get enlarged over time and turn dark. If you really get to the pores, if you remove all the gunk, if your pores don't have the build up of all the dirt inside them, they don't enlarge as much.
