How to remove 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.

Follow these simple steps for effective face paint removal:

1. 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.

2. Gently rub the soap into the painted area and work this into a muddy consistency.

3. Use a soft face cloth soaked in warm water to gently wipe away the paint.

4. Rinse the face with warm water, and repeat these steps if necessary until the paint has been completely removed.

5. 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.

Please do not scrub the skin - the skin on the face is very delicate, especially for children.

Please do NOT use baby wipes - they may contain chemicals that could cause a reaction with the paint, and they do not break up the paint pigment like soap does. This only pushes the pigment into the pores, which may cause staining.
