Burnt cork for me, comes off easier than paint

Face paint for me. I am one of those archers who can't shoot with a face covering on or with bulky gloves for that matter.

I am trying face paint for the first time this year. I just cant get comfortable with a head net on. Dont hear well with it either, not that I hear well anyway.Can anyone give some more insite on the heat and sweat factor. Gets pretty warm here till the end of oct. Im saure I dont like the idea of paint running down my face.

Burnt cork is BAD news fellas!
Google it before you put it on again
Burnt cork is a homemade cosmetic created by burning cork with some accelerant, such as alcohol. The resultant ash is applied directly to the skin, or ground and mixed with some vehicle such as water. Because the pigment produced is carbon black, a known carcinogen, this is no longer considered a safe cosmetic product.

I use both.
Camo around the eyes and mask to cover the rest.
No problems shooting with a net on.

Prefer face paint in warmer climate, stalking or hunting from a blind in the spring. Love the camoFX. Pestered the local the archery shop all winter until they relented to the squeaky wheel.
My method for removal -Apply an ample quantity of vaseline and work in. Get items ready for shower allowing the petroleum jelly to do its work then scrub face with normal Kroger body wash. Follow-up with a face wash then I am good to go.
Prefer mask or netting when cool and/or bugs are a nuisance. Even a light netted mask provides insulatio against cool weather.

The face paint is ok ...but there is no substitute for breaking the silhouette of the recognizable human form....thats why snipers wear ghilly(spelling?) Suits.....best money I ever spent was on a three d leaf suit on a net base ....cool in warm climates and big enough to slip over cold weather gear....Have killed deer from the ground moving slowly from a downwind position....wild... looking at me with ears and tail twitching...guess they cudnt figure it out. Yes ...been busted a few times with the wind changing..... from a visual works well...net thin and doesnt affect draw

Baby oil takes it right off. But a few years ago I was just about out of milk at the hunt camp so I ran into the Mom and Pop little store in the town and picked up a qt of milk. As I went to pay the owner took the money and then as I went to leave stoped me and gave me a candy bar, I said what that for and he said you are just trick or treating right ????I gave the bar back and told him, no just a bow hunter. I guess if you are using a popup blind and or maybe in tree stand you do not need to fave a face mask, but being a ground blind hunter I do use the face paint. I am going to get the baby wipes and see how well they do for getting the stuff off the fae. I now use the baby oil and that has worked very well. But after you take it off I also then wash the face with hot water and a little bakind soday to get the sweet smell from the baby oil off the face...One other tip I also carry in my back pack a sandwich plastic bag filled with baking soda and use that when I get to the stand if I sweated up on the way into the stand. It sure help with those deer and there nose's.

Mask- helps with skeeters and helps keep face warm.

I'm with Don, mask and netting, the skeeters will eat you up this year in NJ, I'm talking real bad, they even come out when the sun is high in the sky with no shade around.
