COVID-19: How to use Pre-cautions - OHS Standards
Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to address the recent concerns on COVID-19 🦠⚠️ & how practicing Health & Safety routines is conducted, especially because Face & Body involves a lot of skin contact between children & adults.
Everyone’s on edge & the media does have an impact on our perception of it.
To provide reassurance, these are steps of hygiene I ALWAYS practice to ensure the children, adults & myself, are safe as much as possible.
⚠️🚫***WE DO NOT PAINT PERSONS WHO ARE SICK OR RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH AN ILLNESS, WITH VISIBLE SKIN INFECTIONS OR DISEASES, SHOW ALLERGIES OR HAVE BEEN SICK IN THE LAST 24HRS. IF YOU ARE SICK PLEASE STAY AT HOME***🚫⚠️
🧼 Face paint kit and chair are thoroughly cleaned at all times with antibacterial wipes and sprayed with disinfectant spray.
💦 Paints are sprayed with Isocol antiseptic and wiped after each use.
🧽 Sponges, lollipop & finger daubers are used once per person then taken home to get washed on a hot machine wash & machine dried after every event.
✅ Each sponge is used ONCE only & disposed in a wash bag seperate from the clean sponge wash bag.
🚮All “one use” items: lipstick applicators, Q-tips & baby wipes, are disposed in a rubbish bin.
🧴Hand sanitizer is readily available & used before, during & after face painting. Antibacterial surface wipes are also readily available.
🚰 Fresh, clean water is used & changed 1-2 times per event.
🚫 I do NOT recommend using a brush sanitiser soap in water containers for more than one person. Over time they will be dipped again with a another brush that has been used on another child. This is not entirely hygienic & don’t advise using them, although other face painters use this & claim it’s better, it doesn’t make a difference to reduce bacteria.
✅ Instead I have 3 sets of water sections & double rince the brushes.
🛁 After each event, brushes are hand cleaned, sanitised & air dried.
PLEASE READ BELOW where it state’s health and safety regulations with face and body painting.
Rest assured that face painting is always available and clean, professional quality standards always apply.
Happy painting!

HEALTH AND SAFETY
PLEASE READ THE POLICIES REGARDING FACE PAINTING METHODS BEFORE YOUR CHILD HAS THEIR FACE PAINTED.
SORRY we CANNOT paint children who are under the age of 3 years old.
We ONLY use FDA compliant water-based paints and cosmetic grade glitters that are non-toxic.
We DO NOT paint anyone who is unwell or with a contagious, visible skin condition or disease, for example, chicken pox, conjunctivitis, cuts, open wounds, cold sores, head lice or Eczema.
If your child has any other allergies or have sensitive skin, we do not recommend painting their faces, instead we may paint their hand/arm. Although unlikely, we cannot guarantee a reaction will not occur.
If you have any concerns regarding the ingredients in the products, please ask the artist BEFORE your child is painted. We can provide a patch test ½ an hour in advance and an ingredient listing on the brands of products used.
The Artist will NOT paint a child who expresses they do not want to be painted, they do not keep still and are intolerable to being painted.
It is advised and highly recommended that children must be accompanied by an adult if they are in a large/open and public area, the face painter cannot monitor children’s whereabouts.
It’s a CAMERA Friendly Zone!
