How to conceal pimples, scars and hyperpigmentation


While skin problems like blemishes, scars and patchy discolorations make no impact on a woman's all-important inner beauty, they can still be a source of grief for those who endure them.


Concealing and treating such skin issues may help an individual look as lovely as she feels.


If the problem is a pimple accompanied by inflammation, it may be best to choose a concealer that has a green tint to it, since the pigment may help to counteract any redness, according to Skincare-News.com. If the blemish is large, look for a skin care product that is thick enough to provide the desired coverage.


To help cover up scars, look for a cream or serum that promotes smoothing, to reduce any uneven texture. Use the product in conjunction with a favorite concealer to help treat scars while hiding them.


The website also recommends using a serum to reduce the appearance of dark spots on black skin beneath foundation. Much like with scars, this will help to fade hyperpigmentation while also evening out skin tone.


AgingSecrets.org reports that vitamin C and skin care products that contain the nutrient may be effective in staving off blemishes and keeping complexions looking healthy.
