Camouflage Make Up for Scars

bloodredangel · 15-01-2011, 09:40 PM

I'm going on holiday with my family in a couple of months and there's going to be a lot of swimming/watersports involved so I'm really worried

.

Just wondered if anyone knows of any effective (preferably reasonably cheap) camouflage make up I can use to cover my scars??

Thanks.

I don't know if these prices are okay for you, but I hear that dermablend is really good out of the three that they show in this site here..

Dermablend is amazing- if applied properly, it stays and is waterproof. Thing is, it is an investment and I do get not everyone has that kind of money. I think mine was about $50, but I've had it for a good couple of years and still have LOADS left. To be fair, this was for pretty big pots, I'm sure you can get smaller ones which would be cheaper. But honestly, I'd say its a sound investment because you have to use so little of it and don't have to keep reapplying throughout the day.

I agree. I wear dermablend for work and it really is amazing on covering up discolouration from scars. However, it is not so good at covering up recent hypertrophic scars which are raised above the skin. But apart from that, couldn't fault it, really saves my ass everytime i have to walk into work everyday! x

Have you heard of the Red Cross skin camouflage service? - http://www.recoveryourlife.com/index...18_articleid=4
