Not to scare everyone, but you should know what you put on your childs skin. There are some face paints that have questionable ingredients.

The testing, by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, a coalition of health and environmental groups, found that many face paints -- including those used in Halloween costume makeup -- often contain lead, nickel, cobalt and chromium. None of those ingredients, however, were listed on product packaging.

A few simple steps that will help include:

-- Follow directions - if it is not for use around the eyes, don't.

-- Do not sleep with the makeup on.

-- Read ingredients.

-- Test on a small area of your arm for irritation.

-- Never use neon colors close to the eyes.

-- Wash the makeup off thouroughly.
