How to Keep Your Clothes From Dying Your Skin

I recently bought a new set of scrubs for school.The first time I wore them they dyed my skin black. How can I keep this from happening in the future?

Dear Future Nursing Assistant,
Always wash your new clothes before wearing them. Many clothes come with a warning that the color of the clothing can transfer to other clothing or to the skin. Dark indigo jeans, dark colored clothing or anything that you've had personally dyed need to be washed to prevent the colors from bleeding. These items might even need to be washed several times until the water that drains from the washing machine runs clear.When you wash the clothes again, wash them separately with like colors only. This will prevent the color from bleeding onto your other clothes.
