Safety Information
All professional face paints used have anti-bacterial properties and are specifically for use on the face and skin. Face paints are easily removed with a face cloth and mild soap & water. The glitter that we use is all cosmetic grade and safe to use around the eye area.
• Some colours (usually green and blue) may leave a light tint on the skin lasting a day or so. Baby shampoo, makeup remover or baby oil are all good at removing any residual staining/tinting of the skin. The natural oils in your skin will push any remaining paint out of your pores within a day and the stain will be gone.
• Face paint acts as a sun block, you may get a tan line where the paint has been if outside on a hot sunny day.
• Face painters should not paint anyone who does not want to be painted. Generally speaking, children under the age of 3 will not sit still long enough for a complete face paint. An arm design would probably be a better choice.
• Children generally enjoy having their faces painted and experience has shown that it is more relaxing and enjoyable for them in a safe environment.
• Children should be well supervised (by a responsible adult) and not left unattended while they are waiting, to avoid disruption to us and other children
• Children (and their actions) remain the responsibility of their parents or party organisers at all times.
• For sanitary reasons, we will not paint anyone who is or appears to be sick or suffering from cold sores, conjunctivitis, ringworm, sunburn, eczema, any infectious skin condition or open wounds.

Paint Removal
The best way to remove face paint with the least amount of staining (and squirming!) is to take a mild face soap or baby shampoo and apply it directly to the painted area WITHOUT water first. Swirl the soap into the paint until it looks like a giant brown blob, then wipe the paint away with a wet wash cloth. (We suggest using a cloth you don’t mind getting stained ,as the paint can stain fabric). This will clear away most of the paint, leaving very minimal staining, if any at all. Repeat if needed and give the face a final rinse. Be careful to wipe paint off gently around the eyes, and not to scrub the skin too hard.
