REMOVING MAKEUP

Always use Vegetable Oils Cooking Oil to remove make-up.
Mineral oils may remove Vitamin D and cause skin damage.

TIP: Fill an old gym sock with Johnson&Johnson Baby Powder for powdering clown make-up. Keep it stored in a ziplock bag.
However for a better looking face use Mehron<tm> Transluscent Setting Powder
