Pre & Post Face-Painting Skincare Tips

Face painting falls under the umbrella of Bodypainting. It is a temporary art used by indigenous and modern art groups as an expression of their feelings. Depending upon their choice people paint a lot of different images on their bodies. Depending upon the location and tribe, there are traces in history suggesting ritualistic body painting throughout cultures.
Nowadays, more often than not, it is seen as a way of celebrating amongst the crowds amidst events and carnivals. Such is the environment during national holidays as well. People fancy painting their faces in the flag colors symbolizing their love for the nation.
As fun as it all sounds, it is not necessarily fun for your skin. How? Well, face painting generally dries your skin and cracks it causing blemishes, acne or evening speeding the ageing process. No need to worry just yet. You can easily turn the tables in this situation with the help of appropriate skincare pre and post the face painting session. We have a suggestive routine for the same listed here.
Always start with cleansing your face of any impurities or pollution it might have been faced with. Skog Birch Sap Facial Cleanser, 200ml is a tender facial cleanser suitable for all skin types. It is best for deeply cleaning the pores and preventing acne as well as assisting in maintaining proper hydration to the skin. The ingredients used in the cleanser are derived from natural sources. Wet your face a little, gently apply the facial cleanser in small circles (upward outward) over your face and neck. Be gentle around the eyes. Properly rinse and pat dry.
Then moisturise the skin with Ilana All-Time Moisturiser - Green Tea + Hyaluronic Acid, 60gm. It helps your skin for intense hydration and lets your skin breathe easily while regenerating new cells. Just apply the product on your face as cream and gently massage it in.
Before putting the paint on your face, use Organic Harvest Tea Tree Essential Oil, 10ml along with a primer to prepare your face for the paint. You can even go ahead and apply a base for your paint once you are done. Oil base before makeup helps protect your skin against any plausible damage and keeps the blemishes and acne in check.
Go wild then, paint your world red or your face colorful! Either way, your skin can now go through the whole ordeal with minimum damage. So, you can quit worrying about skin damage and enjoy the event throughout the day with full zest.
Once you are done with the day’s event and flaunting the art that’s literally marked on you. It’s time to look out for your skin. You had your fun, now the skin needs to be taken care of. As it’s said, a healthy balance goes a long way.
Go on and remove the paint with Earth Rhythm Cleansing Jelly Gel To Milk with Pumpkin Enzymes, 60 gm. It melts the makeup and acts as a magnet lifting dirt and grime off your face. This would help prevent acne and heal the skin of any damage that may have occurred.
Hydrate your skin with Urban Veda Reviving Rose Hydrating Toner, 150 ml to lock in the moisture and balance the PH level of your skin. The toner is enriched with Omega-rich oils to improve elasticity and restore suppleness. It soothes dry skin, working in synergy with healing aloe vera to revitalise and refresh tired and mature skin.
