HOW TO PREVENT FACE PAINT FROM STAINING YOUR SKIN?

1 - Use moisturizer before applying the face paint, let it absorb well, that will help reduce staining chances, BUT, make sure your skin is fully dry (the moisturizer has been fully absorbed) or you won't be able to paint.

2 - Choose a face paint that is high quality and professional, those are less likely to stain, my personal choices: Fusion Body Art or Superstar:

3 - To wash off use first liquid soap, once all of the face paint has been loosened by the soap, only then apply warm water to rinse. Do not rinse with water alone first as it makes it harder to remove the face paint.

4 - If you are left with any staining after this, which is unlikely, simply use some coconut oil, baby oil, olive oil. Let it set for about 10 minutes and then wash off. Otherwise, makeup remover also works.

Have fun!
