Cosmetic Camouflage or Skin Camouflage is the skilled application of specially formulated creams designed to minimise and neutralise defects or discolouration of the skin by covering, concealing and masking them at surface level. The treatment means that your appearance is improved as the focus is no longer on the defect or discolouration that you wish to hide; potentially improving your confidence and self esteem. Skin camouflage techniques can be used to conceal a number of conditions, such as post surgical concealment, scars, burns, birthmarks, rosacea, vitiligo, and other pigmentation problems. Some camouflage creams are available through the NHS and can be prescribed by your doctor. The products can also be ordered at local pharmacies or purchased directly from the manufacturers or distributors. The prices of creams will vary according to the brand and type used. As skin colours and conditions differ it is advisable to seek professional help to find the right brand for you. Thanks to BASC for their guidance on this content.
