Around six years ago I was involved in a minor car accident. Although I wasn’t badly hurt I did receive some small scaring on my face around my eyes and on my nose. They are not large scars but they are in a prominent positions and I was constantly being asked about how I came about them which left me feeling a little paranoid about my appearance. After consulting a Doctor and then a surgeon about having scar revision they told me that surgery probably wouldn’t improve them and could even make them worse. So I decided that I would just going to have to live with them.
Around a year after this I was working on a construction site whenI met a guy who told me about how he hides his tattoo’s before job interviews with camouflage make-up. I asked him if he thought I could use the same concealer to hide the scars on my face he said he was confidant that it could.
Being a man I wasn’t really happy about wearing make up but I still went ahead with buying a small jar of the concealer which is called Dermablend which I learnt is used by actors and is specifically produced to hide scars and skin blemishes. I also needed a setting powder which is used to seal the make up in place.
It was easy to apply. first you remove a small amount from the jar with the tips of your fingers and warm on the palm of your hand. You then dab it on the scars area using a sponge and then seal it with setting powder. Wait three minutes allowing the powder to set. Then lightly brush away the excess powder.
I’ve been using Dermablend for over two years now and nobody has asked about my scars or noticed I was wearing make-up and it lasts all day too.
