Face Paint and Allergies
Hey guys,
I know we've got some facepainters among us, and I'm contemplating becoming one. I wear a full beard, so the facemask irritates me after a while just rubbing the hairs the wrong direction for extended periods of time. My concern with the face paint is that my face won't tolerate it. I'm somewhat allergic to alot of stuff, just kind break out, hive type stuff. Any idea on whether or not the camo facepaint will cause me to leave the woods all rashed up? Also, any one brand versus another?

I use the Hunter Specialties Cream make up in the tubes, it has aloe in it. I have no issues at all. I have allergies to somethings as well. Try the Hunters Specialties tubed makeup. It will last a long time and its easy to wash off with just warm soapy water. Ive had the same 3 tubes for almost 5 years.

When I started bowhunting, I would char the end of a cork with a match or lighter and apply it to my face in a camo pattern. It worked quite well and washed off easily. I got a face mask after that and got away from it. It still is an alternative to face paint.

I have an awesome mask, and I don't remember where I bought it and haven't found one like it since. I've used it for five years, I take real good care of it.
I don't like face paints at all, maybe it reminds me of being in the jungles of Viet Nam.
