Hygiene
I always strive to be as hygienic as possible. A clean sponge is used for every client and brushes are
rinsed out with clean water. After each event, my kit is thoroughly cleaned, sponges are cleaned in
the washing machine and brushes are washed with hot soapy water.
As I strive to use the cleanest materials possible, I must insist on painting only clean faces, including
those little noses. For safety reasons, I am unable to clean a child's face. I will gladly supply baby
wipes for parents to clean their child's face.
Additionally, food and drinks are not permitted while being painted.
Professional Body Paints
I use only the highest quality, imported, professional products,
which are designed for use on the skin. My paints are
hypoallergenic and comply with stringent FDA and/or EU cosmetic
directives.
However, this does not preclude an allergic reaction and I cannot
be liable for allergic reactions to paints. If your child has very sensitive skin, or is allergic to a range
of common products, please discuss this before the child is painted. It is always possible to carry
out a patch test, or to paint a small design on the hand(where skin is less sensitive) to be on the safe
side.
Who Can be Painted?
Ages
Face paint is not recommended for children under 2
years old. For insurance purposes, I can only face paint
on children 3 years and above. However I will kindly offer
a small design on the hand to younger children.
Desire
If a child is reluctant to have his or her face painted, I cannot comply with the wishes of the parent or
carer over the desire of the child. Young children do not always understand face painting - someone
they do not know is doing something to them, which they cannot see - so a small design on the hand
may be more enjoyable for them. They can see what is being done, feel in control of the situation, and
can look at it and enjoy it for the rest of the day.
Skin Conditions
Anyone who, in my opinion, appears to be suffering from a cold sore, conjunctivitis or any other
infectious skin complaint cannot be painted. Similarly, eczema, open cuts and grazes are not
suitable surfaces to paint. However, a design on the cheek, hand or arm is perfectly possible.
Sickness
I am unable to paint anyone suffering from cold/flu symptoms. Hay fever sufferers are advised to have
a design on the cheek or hand.
Lastly, I reserve the right to refuse to paint anyone who is abusive, violent, or intoxicated.
How do I get this stuff off?
The best way to wash off face paint is to use a wet flannel or wash cloth. It is not normally
necessary to use soap. Baby wipes are also a way to remove the paint, but is not always the best.
Wipes are made for little bottoms and some brands can cause a reaction on facial skin.
Face paints generally wash off clothing very easily. I will exercise reasonable caution but cannot be
responsible for damage to clothing or property.
Can I touch your paint?
Gosh that would be so much fun, but please do not touch, or allow children to touch or play with the
paints and equipment. This is not to be mean, but germs spread so easily in little children that it is
best for only myself to handle the equipment. For safety reasons, children (and adults) are not
permitted to play in my work area and I cannot be liable for any damage or injuries should this occur.
Who will watch my child while he/she is waiting?
That would be you. Parents and carers are responsible for their children at all times! Please be
considerate to myself and other parents by supervising your children while in line. If they are old
enough to wait with little supervision then that is fine, but please don't leave a little one in line and
expect them to act like angels. It just isn't possible.
Jokes aside. As I parent, a child's safety is of the utmost importance and while some rules seem
strict, they are in place to protect you and your child.
