Is baby oil and baby shampoo mixed the best for removing clown white (aka grease paint)?

I use lots of apricot soap and water.

Ellen,
I have never mixed them. I have used baby oil and I still use baby shampoo on a wash cloth with hot water. Some people prefer to use baby oil or cold cream, rub it in then tissue it off, follow up with a warm soapy wash cloth. Jim Howel's make up comes off with Dove bar soap.

Ellen,
Baby shampoo is mostly water. If you have ever tried to mix it with baby oil (which is a light weight of mineral oil), you will have discovered that oil and water do not mix. Grease paint may be effectively removed with mineral oil, baby oil, cold cream, or Albolene (which is "solidified" mineral oil). IMO they all work equally well and I would use whichever costs less. Balancing cost and convenience, I generally go with cheap cold cream. First remove as much paint as you can. Then wash your face with a moisturing soap to clean your pores. Most soaps dry your skin. Incidentally, Ivory soap may be 99 and 44/100ths percent pure, but it is pure soap and just as skin drying as most others. Unscented Dove is my recommendation. If you use regular soap, follow up with a skin moisturizing cream. Sid

Ellen,
I have been using baby shampoo for several years with great success. The only time I had trouble was when I use a product called "no sweat". Yes it kept my make-up from running in high temps (Thailand is hot) but after I washed my face my wife was wondering why I still had my make-up on. It took a combination of everything I could find to get it off. Jazzy |

Hi all
I have always used Crowe's cremine cold cream make up remover. It has never let me down and as it contains rose oil it helps to look after your skin too. It's made by Visage.
regards to all

My clown friends,
I have been using the New Baby Magic By Playtex. It's for hair and body and man does it take the make up off!!! I just heard about this and started using it a couple of weeks ago and it is great! Smells good too. Just suds up and off it comes.

Pond's Cold Creme worked the best for me and my wife back during our clowning days. The nice thing about Pond's was that you just used your hands to apply it, let it set for a few seconds, then used a wash cloth and warm water to remove it. Never had to use soap.
Just an FYI. The only make up I would ever recommend for long wear would be Ben Nye. Doug

Hey, I find that if you don't sweat a lot, there's no reason to take it off. Just kidding, but I find that if you use something that bubbles, like vinegar and baking soda, it pretty much scrubs it off itself (although it stinks to high heaven).
Oh, one more thing. For those of you that have kids, vinegar and baking soda is a healthy alternative to Raid ant killer. :rainbow:

The other day I had three shows to do and I had to change from being a clown to a Magician and I forgot to take with me any cleaners. (Dove soap). What a bummer!
But I did have a packet of "Baby wipes" in the car. (the wet tissues you use to wipe babies bottoms) And guess what it worked a treat!!! |

You don’t need a “concoction” since longtime professional clown Leon McBride has already invented and manufactures the best make-up remover on the market. It is non-oily, gentle on the skin (actually a good conditioner/moisturizer). In fact, professional models have discovered it and are using it as much as clowns do!
It is called ProFace Make-up Remover and can be found at Leon’s website: http://www.proknows.com/index2.html I’ve used it for years and recommend it highly. Leon is one of the very few custom nose builders around. He makes the nose I use. The nose I use is the CAN in flesh (I also have it made in red for the special occasion). See it at: http://www.proknows.com/PKmedlarge.html

I'll second that Harry. ProFace Make-up Remover is great stuff. I use it real sparingly around my eyes, and use mostly baby shampoo there.
Harry is right about the Pronose clown noses too. They are the best and I use them exclusively. Regan

I've always used baby oil, but still had to use shampoo to get the black out of my bears. I switched to a different moisturizer, applied before makeup andd the black comes off much easier now.

I like to use lavendar scented Johnsons Baby Oil. I warm it up just a little before putting it on my face. I lie down, relax and just let it soak in. I wonderful stress relief after hitting 3 birthday parties and a restaurant.

I don't know if it is still around, but I used to use Lever 2000 in the liquid form. Now, I use Pro Face, on the rare times when I am in make-up. Since coming up with my "JesterMan" character, I rarely use make-up any more.

I rarely clown anymore. But when I do, like Jesterman, I have cut way back on my clown makeup and have adapted more of a David Larible/Euro Clown look. Where I used to have two or three children cowering in the festival corners, now I may have one. I've actually had a coulrophobic adult come up to me and tell me that I was the first clown she felt comfortable around. Anyway...I use Leon's ProFace remover and Klennex Moist Facial Wipes when I'm between shows and can't get to a bathroom to change characters. At home, I always use Johnson's Baby Shampoo followed by regular bath soap (Much cheaper than ProFace...and I tend to pinch pennys till they file harrassment suits) and it works beautifully.

I don't wear make up at all anymore (with the exception of matt beige cover up to hide the blemishes). I believe in the inner clown. To this day (7 years without makeup) I have only had two children question if I was a clown. This has actually prompted me to write a book about new clowning techniques. I actually stopped wearing make-up out of nescessity. I was doing multiple gigs and was doing clown-magician-clown and found it too hard to do the make-up putting on and off in between the gigs. I started researching and found many examples of non-traditional clowns--3 stooges, Laurel and Hardy, Penn and Teller, Charlie Chaplin...They are all clowns in nature. You can also put in stand-up comedians as clowns also.

I clowned Saturday for Bible School at our church. I used Mehron makeup remover to loosen everthing up, wiped it off With a baby wipe and then used Baby Magic Body wash product to remove the left overs. It took five minutes tops !
