Skin Camouflage Uses
Skin camouflage products can be used to help reduce the appearance of many conditions. As long as the area to be treated has completely healed and there are no open areas of skin, camouflage creams can be applied. It should be noted that camouflage creams and indeed cosmetics can only alter the colour of a problem area and cannot alter the texture or reduce the raised aspect
of scarring. Some products can help slightly reduce the appearance of uneven texture such as that of acne scarring. Having said that, with the right product a significant difference can be made which can greatly help the confidence of the user and bring back some sense of control over their situation. Below is a list of some of the conditions which camouflage cremes can help with:
acne erythema and scarring
cleft lip
discoid lupus
erthematosus
ephelides (freckles)
