How to remove face paint (easy! simple! painless!)

This is an excellent video that shows exactly what to do:

Written directions:

  • Use foaming soap - baby shampoo works, regular old hand soap is good too.

  • Don’t use water yet! Put the foamy soap all over the area that has face paint, and then massage it in so you get a muddy, creamy consistency.

  • Use a damp washcloth (a dark one or an old one that you don’t care about stains), and wipe off the muddy sludge. It doesn’t always stain the washcloth, but sometimes dark colors do, so better safe than sorry that you used your brand new white washcloths.

  • It should be gone! If there are any leftover stains, use a tiny bit of oil (baby oil, coconut oil, olive oil, really anything) on a cotton ball and gently rub the stained area.

How to remove glitter tattoos

Glitter tattoos will naturally come off in about a week. But if you want to take yours off sooner, or the glitter has come off but there is some glue residue, use rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and gently rub the area. For stubborn spots, use a bit of baby oil (or other oil) on a cotton ball and rub gently.
