Para-medical skin camouflage products differ from normal cosmetics in that when correctly applied the camouflaged area is water-resistant. The specialist products are designed to be long lasting and contain sun protection. Additional (oil-free) sun screen can be applied under and over camouflage. Decorative cosmetics (make-up) can be worn over camouflage. Topical medication and silicone gel treatment can be used under the skin camouflage.
All products are designed to mimic and blend in with your natural skin colour - however the texture of your skin will remain unchanged. We have not received any reports that para-medical skin camouflage products encourage comedones or adversely affect any non-infectious dermatosis or scar tissue. But, as with all products, if there is any allergic reaction the product must be removed and the affected area thoroughly cleansed. A clinical test patch will confirm the allergy.
