Health, Safety and Hygiene

1.	Face painting is not recommended for children under 3 years old. Under this age a child’s skin is sensitive and still in development. There is a risk of prompting a future sensitivity or allergy. Also if a young child is unwilling to have their face painted I will take the child’s feelings into account rather than the parents' and will not persevere. I can offer your little one a small design on their arm instead.
2.	I will not paint anyone suffering from cold/flu symptoms or who has any apparent skin complaints e.g. eczema, chicken pox, conjunctivitis, cold sore, open cuts and bruises.
3.	I reserve the right to refuse to paint anyone who is abusive, violent or intoxicated.
4.	I only use the highest quality, professional products which are designed for use on the skin and are EC and FDA approved. My paints are water-based and have antibacterial/hypoallergenic properties.
5.	I do appreciate being presented with clean faces to be painted. Please wipe noses too!
6.	I am dedicated to providing the most hygienic service possible I use a clean sponge for each person I rinse brushes after every client I clean all used sponges in a washing machine on a 60 degree program. Brushes are washed with hot water and a cosmetic brush soap.
7.	Parents and carers are responsible for their children at all times.
8.	I will try to be sensitive to the needs of each child or adult.
9.	The best way to wash off face paint is to use a wet flannel with warm soapy water.
10.	Some paints may stain clothes.
