Whether you're healing from surgery, acne, or injury, facial scars can make you feel self-conscious. The good news? With the right products and techniques, blending makeup over scars can be smooth, stress-free—and confidence-boosting. In this guide, we’ll walk you through simple, expert-backed ways to camouflage scars and support your skin’s healing journey, featuring scar care essentials from Rejûvaskin.
Step 1: Prep Your Skin Like a Pro
The secret to flawless makeup isn’t just in the coverage—it starts with your skincare routine.
Hydrated, soothed skin holds makeup better and reduces texture. Start with a gentle cleanse, then apply Rejûvaskin’s Skin Recovery Cream to nourish and calm the skin barrier. If you have active or healing scars, follow with RejuvaSil Silicone Scar Gel to smooth the surface and minimize raised or red scars.
👉 Pro Tip: Silicone gels like RejuvaSil have been shown to reduce scar thickness and discoloration by forming a breathable, protective layer (Mee & Wong, 2012).
Step 2: Neutralize Discoloration with Color Correction
Scars often leave behind redness, dark marks, or hyperpigmentation. To even things out before foundation:
-
Use green corrector to neutralize red or inflamed scars.
-
Choose peach/orange tones for brown or purplish marks.
Blend with a light tapping motion to avoid lifting any product underneath. Color correcting helps reduce the amount of foundation you’ll need—keeping the finish light and natural.
Step 3: Build a Flawless, Flexible Base
Choose a breathable, buildable foundation that matches your skin tone. Apply using a damp sponge or stippling brush to press product into the skin without streaking.
Follow with a high-coverage concealer directly on the scar, blending gently to avoid texture buildup. Camouflage makeup that contains at least 25% pigment offers better coverage for textured or discolored areas (Draelos, 1993).
Step 4: Set It and Forget It
To keep your coverage in place all day:
-
Lightly dust a translucent setting powder over scarred areas to minimize shine and blur texture.
-
Finish with a setting spray to lock in the look without dryness.
This dual approach prevents creasing and keeps your camouflage sweat- and humidity-resistant.
Step 5: Heal While You Wear It
Your skin deserves care even under makeup. That’s where Rejûvaskin’s products come in:
-
Revita-D Facial Moisturizer hydrates deeply while supporting barrier repair with vitamin D3 and botanical extracts.
-
Scar Esthetique Silicone Scar Cream fades discoloration and improves scar tone and texture over time—ideal for daily and nightly use.
These multitasking formulas make it easy to both conceal and correct.
