Skin Camouflage
What is skin camouflage?
Skin camouflage is best described as products (usually a combination of crème and powder) that are designed to blend in with the natural colours of the skin.
Is skin camouflage suitable for me?
It can be used for a variety of skin conditions, marks and scars. It cannot be used on any infected, inflamed or broken skin.
Skin camouflage products are suitable for adults and children of all ages but are not usually recommended for babies or very young children, unless suggested by their doctor.
