Before you read about makeup for acne scars, consider the following general guidelines:


1.scar tissue is less permeable than healthy;

2.the scar should be cleaned but not pretreated with a moisturizer;

3.the foundation should be applied with a cotton swab.

Corrective makeup, has a considerable success in the medical field.
There are several levels of camoufage.

To hide the scars in general I recommend:

1.apply a light coat of transparent hair gel on the scar;

2.apply a bit of powder;

3.then apply your normal foundation.

Even treatments with glycolic acid can be a valuable aid to mask and hide the scars.

The major problem in camoufage scars is represented by color variations between the tissues.
The darkest shadow should be applied in the most full scars while atrophic scars should be covered with a lighter cosmetic.

To remove cosmetic camoufage a makeup remover cream with special solvents is necessary.

In the case of very visible scars you can ask for advice to a plastic surgeon.
The permanent micro-tatoo, for example, can soften the texture of the scar tissue.
