The Benefits of Camouflage Makeup

Camouflage makeup therapy can provide significant benefits when clients:

• Need to develop confidence in their reflective self-image;
• Are healing—for example, after elective aesthetic cosmetic surgery;
• Are in between revisions of surgery in order to minimize a condition during transition;
• Are emotionally accepting about what has happened to their physical image and need help regaining self-esteem after an accident;
• Have dermatological problems, such as vitiligo, acne, rosacea or psoriasis;
• Want to diminish or disguise birthmarks; and
• Want to counteract the visible effects of medication or disease, chemotherapy, radiation or other altering devices.

Camouflage therapy assists in three ways:

1. On the body of the user
2. On the psyche of the user
3. On the attitude of others toward the user
