Choosing Paint
It’s important to note that you can’t use just any paint and apply it to your child’s skin. Even if a product says it’s non-toxic that does not mean it’s safe for skin application. Some craft paints, and even water color paints, can cause allergic reactions or promote redness on skin. Choose only paints made specifically for face painting. There are several brands available on the market and most major craft supply stores will keep them in stock on a regular basis. If you want to add pizzazz by using glitter, use only those approved specifically for face painting. Check for FDA approval for cosmetic use on both paints and glitter. Choose face paint in pots, crayon form, or both for this fun and decorative undertaking.
