How to Remove Face Paint
One of the questions I hear frequently is, "Can I sleep in it?"
Face paint is a cosmetic product. Just like regular makeup, you can sleep in it, but there is a risk of getting your pillow dirty. It washes off faces easily, but may not come out of all fabrics.
-
Start with a liquid, gentle, tear-free soap or baby shampoo.
-
Apply the soap FIRST, before water, and rub it into the paint to break down the color.
-
Then, gently wash the soap and makeup away with gentle circles.
-
DO NOT SCRUB! Be gentle, little faces are easily irritated with wash cloths. I don't recommend baby wipes.
-
Repeat up to twice, if needed.
-
If there is still some "ghosting" of the face paint (usually darker colors on fair skin), apply gentle moisturizer, let it on the color, and then try washing it away.

For my kiddos, doing this process in the bathtub usually has the best, least messy results!
