    Food color stains on your hands. Try using lemon juice to remove food coloring stains from your hands. Hand lotion also works to remove those food coloring hand stains.

    Take from google remove food colouring from hands

    I use cream cleaner - it has some bleach in it and is slightly abrasive.

    When i got cochenille all over my hands at work years ago (someone didn't screw the top on :mad:), my boss then proceeded to dip my hands in watered down bleach. Not the best thing for hands, but it did work!! :rotfl:

    I've used a bit of meths to get dye off my hands once - it did work but I'd only recommend it for emergencies lol. Most food colourings aren't *that* bad ... I've dyed my hands all of the colours of the rainbow over the years and although it can look bad, it generally will wear off with a bit of scrubbing and normal washing.
