Most skin problems are only temporary but we all know how annoying and unsightly they are! As for permanant skin problems we may not be able to get rid of them but atleast we can hide them without painful plastic surgery.

I have written up a few simple steps that will help hide those skin problems:

Pimples

Do not try to pop your pimples as this will make it worse and leave you with an open, bleeding wound which will look even more unsightly. You can take the redness away with some salt, crushed asprin, or by pressing it with a cold spoon,

To cover up your makeup apply an astringent solution which will close the pores and also so that the dirt won’t get into the pores. Then you will need to appy a green concealer as this will neutralize redness (making sure you blend in well) then you will need to apply foundation. To set makeup, use a loose powder if you would like to have a more natural outcome.

Cold Sores

You can now buy cold sore pathes which will heal them and also stop them spreading! Use a concealer to cover them up, followed by applying a foundation around it and try touch up your makeup whenever you need to. Apply a thouch of powder to make the patch less shiny.

Wrinkles

Use a pearly, white eyeliner pencil and mark a smooth line in the center of the wrinkle, then apply a creamy foundation. If your wrinkles are pretty deep use a mature skin foundation as this will restore your elasticity and your foundation won’t settle into the creases.

Facial Scars

You can use special medical makeup products. These have a high coverage and are especially made for facial scars, you may also use these for pimples, wounds and bruises. Green concealers are used to disguise redness and yellowish/orange ones are used for blue undertones.

After camoflaging the problem areas, use a liquid concealer to even out the skin tone, followed by using a high coverage foundation.

Freckles

You will need an illuminating foundation or a high coverage foundation. You must also find the right shade which is also very important, by matching it to the chest and shoulders, which are usually darker than the rest of your face. You must apply to the face and then blend it slightly to your neck.
