What type of paint is face paint?
Face paints are water-based cosmetic makeup products, which means they can be easily dissolved with soap and water. If there is any irritation to the skin after face paint has been applied, remove it immediately. It's also important to remove face paint before going to bed to avoid any potential skin irritation or staining.
Steps for effective face paint removal
Apply a mild liquid or bar soap with a few drops of water to the painted area. Alternatively, a gentle face wash will do the trick.
Gently rub the soap into the painted area and work this into a muddy consistency.
Use a soft face cloth soaked in warm water to gently wipe away the paint.
Rinse the face with warm water, and repeat these steps if necessary until the paint has been completely removed.
If there are any remaining traces of paint, apply a skin-safe oil such as olive oil, an oil-based makeup remover, or moisturiser, and leave to soak in for a few minutes before gently wiping away.
How not to remove face paint
Do not scrub the skin - the skin on the face is very delicate, especially children.
The use of baby wipes is not recommended - they may contain chemicals that could cause a reaction with the paint. Additionally, they do not break up the paint pigment like soap does. Using them pushes the pigment into the skin, which may cause staining.
