When you are painting your body to glow in the dark, such as for a costume party, Halloween or a theatrical production, skip store-bought paints that may contain harsh chemical ingredients, especially for those with sensitive skin types. Make your own glow in the dark body paint at home using a few ingredients that are gentle on the skin.
Step 1
Place a bowl onto a flat surface, and pour in 4 tablespoons of corn starch.

Add 2 tablespoons of cold cream into the corn starch, and stir the mixture with a spoon for 5 minutes to combine the ingredients completely. Select cold cream that is unscented if you have sensitive skin.

Step 4
Pour the homemade glow in the dark body paint into a sealable container, and store it in the refrigerator until use.
