Using Lake Dyes

[Kristinlake]

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some insight on using lake dyes, as I am new to using dyes and I could use some help!
I have been trying to make bath bombs with lake dyes and I haven't had any real problems except one. When I hold the bath bomb in my hand (especially if it is wet) it will stain my hand the color of the dye. I have had no problems with it staining my tub or my skin when in the water, but when I hold the bath bomb (wet or dry) it will stain my skin. Is this normal? And is there a way to prevent this?
I've tried using different amounts of the lake dye, but it stains regardless of the amount.
Thanks so much!

My experience is pretty limited, but if I hold a wet, "activated" bath bomb with dye, my hand/fingers will be colored for a short period of time. But, maybe only for one or two washings. I don't have that problem with dry bombs though...
I have 2 kids who love to destroy my bath bombs by grinding it up, crumbling it, using the foam to write on the walls, make "potions" (good testers, those two! )etc but their hands are never stained upon leaving the bath tub. So, I'm ok with it...
