Remember going to carnivals and birthday parties as a child and
getting your face painted? In this temporarily transformation, you can be anything,
from a fierce animal to your favorite Disney character.
Face painting is a fun and magical activity,
and can also be a very rewarding business. No matter whether you are a professional
painter or just a beginner, there are some safety considerations to keep in
mind when you are using face and body paint supplies.
Use only Suitable Paints
Being non-toxic does not necessarily mean safe for skin. Many people can be allergic to some chemicals and colorants used in craft paints and will break out in a rash from these paints. There are many brands like Amerikan Body Art and Mehron which are extremely safe for face painting.
Clean Brushes and Sponges
Alcohol cannot be considered as an effective sanitizer for brushes and sponges. Any traces of the alcohol left on the brush or sponge can cause pain in sensitive areas.
Skin Considerations
Do not use paints on anyone who has a contagious illness, or open wounds. Even people with acne should be avoided, as the rubbing can cause irritation to the sensitive skin.
Wash Your Hands
Wash your hands thoroughly after using face and body paint supplies. You can either use baby wipes or a hand sanitizer.
Ensure you’re Comfortable
Make sure you sit on a comfortable chair if you paint sitting down. It is very easy to do long-term damage to your back by sitting or standing in an uncomfortable position for long hours.
