What is the best kind of paint for use on a human canvas? What can I protect the persons skin with?

My friends and I are going to use a person as a human canvas to paint on for an art exhibition. I was wondering if anyone knew what the best kind of paint to use on human skin is. Something that is safe and that will wash off easily. Face paint seems like a good candidate, but I would like to know if I have any other options. Also, is there any sort of protective "goo" or lotion that can be rubbed on before we start painting him?

There is such a thing as body paint. Indeed Kryolan is great stuff but a bit expensive if you are only using it one time.

Any water base paint will do. Acrylic will stay on best even when sweating or buming into someone. No need to worry about your skin needing to breath. That is a busted urban myth.

Use a water base lotion before painting so hair is stuck to the skin and the paint comes of easy.
