Skin Camouflage

According to the British Association of Dermatologists, 15% of the UK’s population a year seek help from their doctors for a skin condition. As many as 30% of these patients also experience psychological distress due to skin disfigurement, this will affect their quality of life and ability to participate in work and social activities, which in turn will affect their relationships with friends and family members.

For a teenage girl who has a sever skin condition such as scars, acne, psoriasis and eczema, their confidence in their appearance will be knocked, however putting makeup such as foundation and concealer will only irritate the skin and make their condition worse, now with skin camouflage they will be able to feel confident in their skin again as it will not irritate the skin and let it breath.

Doing an article on skin camouflage does go against what I am trying to portray with girls feeling confident in their own skin, however with severe skin conditions there is no reason for girls to no do whatever they can to feel confidence within themselves, because if you look good on the outside you will feel so much better on the inside, and that is the purpose of my magazine, feeling good on the inside.
