What is skin camouflage? ​

The Dermacolor Camouflage System is an especially pigmented make up which is designed to correct skin disfigurements or discoloration including tattoos. 

Since 1969, dermacolor has been the No.1 Camouflage Cosmetic on the market. 

​

Skin camouflage is best described as the application of highly pigmented creams that are designed to  effectively mimic the unaffected skin colour whilst covering discolouration and or scarring. Skin camouflage products are matched to normal skin colour and are significantly different from ordinary cosmetics. When correctly applied, the products are water and heat resistant without the fear of the product wearing off.  

The application of such products is often the only possibility of relieving the psychic and emotional distress that the users experience and to help restore a positive and more confident attitude towards life.  

 

​The system is a medical-cosmetic make up approved by dermatologists and has gone through successful clinical testing. It is safe for even the most sensitive skin types.  

​

What skin conditions are suitable for camouflage use? ​

Certain skin conditions can make the affected area appear more pale, red or darker than the unaffected skin. Whilst camouflage products can change visual skin colour, the texture and structure of the skin condition will not be altered. 

Non-contagious skin conditions such as Vitiligo, Port Wine Stain, Chloasma, Rosacea, Acne scarring, Telangiectasia, Varicose Veins and Spider Veins, Scars, Tattoos, Dark circles under or around the eyes are suitable for skin camouflage. The skin must not be inflamed, blistered, or broken.  

Skin camouflage is not suitable for skin cancers, bacterial infections such as impetigo, fungal infections such as ringworm, viral infections such as cold sores, or for undiagnosed skin conditions. 

 

Are camouflage products suitable for everyone? ​

Skin camouflage products are suitable for men, women and children of all ages but are not usually recommended for babies or very young children. 

How do I know what colour and product to use?
