Face Painting
Though face painting is most popular around the time of Halloween, there are other times during the year when this is done. Children love to do this for birthday parties, and sometimes friends just do it to have fun. When applying face paint, you do have to know if there will be an allergic reaction and what to do if one occurs, but for the most part, paints are safe and they are a great way for a child to use their imagination and pretend they are someone or something else for a while.
Doing some preliminary checks about face painting before you begin or allow your child to be painted is smart. With so many recalls lately from lead amounts in toys, you should check out the paint to be sure it is not high in lead content. It should not have any at all. If it does, the lead will seep into the skin. Check the package, and do a search for the brand online. Most will be safe, but you can never know for sure until you look. If you are getting it done by someone at a fair or carnival, ask about where the paint comes from and if they are sure it is safe to use.
What people come up with when face painting can be very remarkable. Some are so good at it that they can use shading to make a human face really look like feline face. There are hundreds of different ideas out there that are all a lot of fun. Some do the whole face while face painting, and some will just do a small design on the cheek. You can do or have done whatever it is that you think is the most fun, and if you are allowing your child to do it, do it with them. They will love that you thought it was fun too.
The sad part about face painting is removing it. Though some paints last a few days, most do not want to sleep in it. It will begin to wear off rather quickly anyway, so you should know how to take it off at the end of the day. Any package can tell you how to remove that brand's paint, and those who do it for children often give parents removal instructions. If you are not sure, you can always try baby oil, which will also remove temporary tattoos. Paint can be hard on the skin, so make sure you treat it gently and applied a soothing lotion after removal.
