Age Spots
|
|
|
To help lessen the appearance of age spots, increase exfoliation by polishing skin with 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse-Off Formula and Total Turnaround Visible Skin Renewer geared to your skin type. Use Sun Protection daily. Diminish sunspots effectively with Advanced Stop Signs targets lines, dark spots.

Applying Concealer
|
|
|
Hide flaws with a concealer a shade lighter than your foundation. Try Airbrush Concealer. Gently pat and roll on skin and press and roll around edges to fade outline. Rubbing tends to remove the concealer. Apply after foundation for better "grab" and coverage.

Birthmarks
|
|
|
Conceal with a Continuous Coverage SPF 15. In your palm, warm a dab of Continuous Coverage SPF 15. Use your fingertip to pat into place instead of stroking to build up thickness. Lightly feather over regular foundation. Finish with a powder rubdown in a shade lighter than usual. Blend.

Bumps / Crevices
|
|
|
Smooth with grainy scrubs to provide a more even surface for makeup to adhere to. To conceal: use Line Smoothing Concealer, after applying foundation.

Concealer Blot-Up
|
|
|
Caused by dry under-eye skin pulling moisture from concealer. Prevent by priming area with moisturising eye cream or gel like All About Eyes. In the palm of your hand, mix the eye mositurising product suggested for you with concealer. This gives a smoother, more even finish.

Eye Area Darkness
|
|
|
To combat eye-area darkness, use
Advanced Stop Signs Eye Preventive Cream SPF 15
. Use a Concealer brush to apply concealer precisely or
Airbrush Concealer
with its own built-in brush. Blend by patting with the ring finger--least likely to tug delicate skin. Use darker concealer on puffs and lighter concealer in hollows, then pat the two together at the edges. Finish with powder just lighter than the rest of face. Avoid purplish shadow, dark liner. A hint of pink blush helps neutralise blue.

Sunburn
|
|
|
Sun smarts: Start each season using
Sun Protection
with the highest appropriate SPF level. Apply your sunscreen 30 minutes before going into the sun. An after-sun product such as After-Sun Rescue Balm can be used to help repair damage from UV exposure, soothe skin and reduce redness.

|
Eyelids - Darkness
|
|
|
Give eyelids the same attention as the rest of the face. Pat and roll to avoid pulling skin. Concealer, or foundation work as primer to hide darkness, tiny capillaries. As an alternative, use
Touch Base for Eyes
in Canvas or
Touch Tints for Eyes
and conceal and colour in one step. Powder lightly before and after eyeshadow for longer wear. To brighten eyes, treat twice daily with
All About Eyes.

Freckles and Uneven Skin
|
|
|
Don't try to erase uneven skin or freckles - makeup will just look masky. A stay put base carefully powdered won't gather in creases; a sheer foundation like
Almost Makeup SPF 15
perfects freckled faces, blends with skin. Choose a makeup base in a colour between your skin and the colour of the freckles. Use a brownish blusher for a more natural look.

|
New Scars
|
|
|
These may be covered as soon as the doctor says so. Dermatologists recommend
Continuous Coverage SPF 15
for the way it physically blocks sun, wind, pollution and prying eyes from facelift scars or chemical-peel pinkness. Apply powder gently along the scar line, use a matt powder as shine attracts light and will accentuate the scar. Cleanse completely and gently with
Comforting Cream Cleanser.
Note for still-sore or sunburned skin: This is the one skin that cannot be exfoliated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Old Scars
|
|
|
When the scar is too wide or too deep to be totally concealed, turn your attention to evening out the surrounding skin colour. Draw attention away from the scar area by playing up a favourite feature, like eyes or lips, by focusing on definition or a more attention-grabbing shade. A bright lipstick always illuminates the skin and draws attention to the mouth instead of the scar.
