Skin Camouflage
Wednesday, 05th September 2007 - 2:37pm

Skin Camouflage

Skin camouflage is used to restore appearance to normality with simple but effective techniques.  The products are specially formulated creams and powders which have the necessary covering power, yet require only a thin application to mimic the surrounding and normal skin colour. When correctly applied the camouflage should not be apparent; the application process itself is simple and easily managed within usual daily routines.

Why do I need skin camouflage?

The reasons for needing skin camouflage are individual and various; those seeking help include men, women and children. Some, with congenital disorders may be born with the condition apparent, whilst with others the dermatosis will present at a later stage – and that is usually when it is least welcomed, particularly during puberty. Scarring can be the result of surgical procedures, accident, acts of violence and self-injury. Unwanted tattoos and excessive facial “flushing and blushing” are other reasons for requesting skin camouflage.

Scarring, unwanted tattoos and non-infectious skin conditions (dermatoses) can be broadly grouped into being

    * hypopigmented (where there is a loss of skin colour)
    * hyperpigmented (when there is darker coloured patches of skin) and
    * erythematic (is when the skin becomes reddened)

The psychological benefit achieved by using skin camouflage cannot be over-emphasised. It is an accepted fact that mind and body interact upon each other, when we feel good about ourselves, our attitude is positive – we enjoy social activities, we form relationships and are considered to be part of our community.

When we are not happy with our image, we can begin a downward spiral by losing our confidence and self-esteem – we become anxious and go to great lengths to avoid social situations. Finally we can withdraw and become isolated form our community.

Although the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) protects people in employment and customer service, many people with skin conditions report that at some point they have met with rejection, name-calling, unwarranted comments or verbal abuse. There is further evidence to suggest that those with skin abnormalities experience higher levels of anxiety, depression, difficulties at school and unemployment than those who’s skin is considered to be psycho-socially normal.
