Cosmetic Therapy promotes self-esteem and well being, an now can promote healthier skin as well!
The GlyMed Camouflage System was developed for use by Physicians and Medical Aestheticians as camouflage therapy for skin trauma patients and after surgery.
In order for camouflage therapy to be effective, it has to cover extremely well and protect an nourish the skin.It has to cover imperfections and return skin to natural tone and texture without being heavy. It has to be long-lasting and waterproof; and to be used by everyone, a camouflage line has to include a complete range of skin tones.
The GlyMed Camouglage Creams come in a wide variety of shades and should be matched to the skin around the lesion, scar, or skin area you are trying to camouflage.
When dealing with scars, it is important to remember that the texture is different from that of the surrounding skin.
The application of a camouflage cream to conceal a scar can only be accomplished if the skin is clean and no moisturizer is used.
The camouflage must be dabbed on with a sponge, a small brush, or cotton-tipped applicator and not rubbed in. It should be applied to the scar only, and not the surrounding skin.
For best results, use with concealer brush (available below).
The technique for covering up lesions (such as acne, rosacea, skin irritations)is slightly different. The shade of cover is matched to the skin near the lesion; a mixture of two shades may be required to achieve the desired final tone. A small amount of cream is taken from the container(s) with a small spatula, or a q-tip, or a small brush, and placed in the palm of the hand where it becomes warm enough to spread.
Then it is applied in a patting motion over the lesion and the adjacent area. The cream is carefully blended around the edges and not touched for a minute or two so as to allow it to dry. After this, the concealer is fixed with the generous application of setting powder.
Any excess powder remaining is brushed away after about 5 minutes. It is easier to cover flat lesions than raised ones, and hard smooth scars or burns may need to have the process repeated several times.
When color is the major barrier to a normal appearance as with such conditions as vitiligo (blotched coloration), hypo- or hyperpigmented scars, burn scars, or birthmarks, concealer makeup may be the major source of therapy.
