Is there a risk of cross- contamination or transferring germs from one person to another through Face and Body paints, sponges or brushes?
New Skin Bodyart is working hard to avoid the risk of cross-contamination and transferring germs from one person to another.
Most professional Face and Body paints already contain various agents to destroy microbial life. They act agains yeast, mould and bacteria. Furthermore, we operate with a ‘one sponge per person’ policy. In detail that means that a sponge or body brush, which is used to lay down the base coat on one person, will not be used on any other person thereafter until thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. Brushes and sponges are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after each event.
The risk of cross-contamination or germ transfer through our equipment at events with numerous attendees is no higher than if you shake another persons’ hand and considerably less than that for Body painting and private Prenatal sessions.
How do you clean your brushes and sponges?
The brushes and sponges are thoroughly cleaned after each Face or Body painting event and/or during the event should it be required to use brushes or spnges multiple times.
Brushes are first rinsed with water to remove most of the remaining paint in the bristles, then cleaned with soap/ brush soap to get rid of the more persistent Face and Body Make-up residue. After that they are dipped and swirled around in 70% Isopropyl Alcohol to kill off bacteria or germs and left to dry completely before they are used again.
Sponges are first cleaned by hand with soap and water and then thrown into the laundry at the highest temperature. They are dried either by placing them in the dryer or leaving them out to dry naturally. Either way they are not used again until completely dry.
What else do you do to reduce the risk of cross-contamination and germ transfer?
To reduce the risk of cross-contamination and germ transfer at any event New Skin Bodyart paints at, we will not paint anyone who has open cuts or sores on the skin we are about to paint or is showing any signs of illness, including but not limited to fever, runny nose, coughs, watery eyes.
We have hand sanitizer on site which we use frequently throughout the event and baby wipes are provided to remove dirt from the skin prior to painting it if needed.
