Stop Facepainting… Until You Read This!

Did you know that you can’t just face paint anybody? That there are some people you have to avoid when facepainting? If you didn’t, I’m so glad you’re reading this article. This could save you a lot of stress, time and money later on down the track.

So, why can’t you, you ask? Because of hygiene standards. Hygiene is extremely important in facepainting. There are certain rules to follow just like in any other industry.

You should never paint someone who has:

*Any open cuts or sores on their face.
*A cold sore or conjunctivitis or any other known infectious skin
condition.
*A food allergy or allergic reactions to soaps, skin creams, etc without
a prior skin test.

If you still continue facepainting on people who fall into, one of the above catergories then you’ll risk a number of things, such as your clients getting allergic reactions, to contaminating your face paints and infecting others, to getting sued for all of the above (in extreme cases).

Now, you might be thinking, “although it’s the safest thing to do, it’s a shame to have to turn away a customer”. But you don’t have to turn them away, there is a way to keep them happy and ensure you still get work and get paid.

But to find out on, you’ll have to wait for tomorrows blog post, right here… at the How to Face Paint Blog.

Until next time, Paint Happy Faces
