THIS IS A COVER UP!

Do you have a birthmark, rosacea, dark pigmentation, vitiligo, dilated capillaries and / or a bruise that is stopping you from leaving the comfort of your own home?  Sick of explaining to people what it is? Does your current foundation and concealer not camouflage your condition completely?

If you answered yes to one of the above or to all of them, then read on as I’m sure you will find this information valuable.

The abovementioned skin conditions don’t necessarily go away, unless it’s a bruise – this will heal; but the others can perhaps be corrected with the use of aesthetics such as Laser and even surgery.

Unfortunately, not all of us can afford these medical corrections. But, there are products on the market that are targeted to cover these conditions. These cover ups are known as REMEDIAL CAMOUFLAGE MAKE UP or Corrective Cosmetics.  It almost sounds like it’s army related when we refer to it as CAMOUFLAGE.

There are various product lines available but I will only touch on one in particular, as it is the same product I use when I teach this subject at college.

Introducing………. DermaBlend. This particular ‘cover up’ was the brainchild of an American Dermatologist back in 1981. Obviously, there was a need to bring confidence to clients who suffered a skin condition and perhaps a cheaper alternative to the more expensive solutions; a face and body make up was created. It is thicker than normal foundation and is waterproof – making it ideal for the Australian beach weather.

This particular product is matched to your skin colour and applied to blend in. Once it sets for about 10 to 15 minutes; a setting powder is applied. Best method of applying the DermaBlend is with a sponge/brush.  It is very thick so only minimal amounts are applied, therefore the tube or tub you purchased, should last quite some time. If stored correctly (away from heat and always closing the lid) it will last over a year.

DermaBlend can be purchased from most chemists where beauty products are sold, as well as some Priceline stores. I must warn you though, it isn’t cheap – but it is a lot cheaper than Laser or surgery and it will last you quite some time. More importantly, it will give you the confidence to continue with outdoor activities and to enjoy yourself.
