Dermacolor Instructions

Have ready 1 sponge for application, 1 powder puff, 1 natural goat hair blending brush and a Dermacolor applicator brush.

1.    Apply Dermacolor Cleansing Lotion (Toner) with cotton pads.  Use of Cleansing Lotion is a must to insure waterproofing.

2.    If required, moisturize the skin with Cream Effective No. 2.

Colour Choice.  From the 24 colours available in your Dermacolor Artist Palette, choose a shade or shades (remember all colours are intermixable and mixing may be necessary).  Due to the influence of the sun, or the change of seasons, the colour tone of your skin will change from time to time and you will need to choose 2-3 different shades.  Occasionally check which shade is most appropriate.

Application.  Apply Dermacolor Camouflage Creme thin and evenly with a sponge or fingers until 2 cm past the edge of the condition.  Fade away the edges with a dry sponge or brush.  It may be necessary to dampen the sponge during the application.

Shading.  To achieve a natural camouflage effect, proper highlighting and shading (or the application of rouge) is necessary.  D32 are your rouge colours. 

Apply gently and blend in the choice of Dermacolor rouge from the cheekbone fading away at the temple.  eyebrows and the male beard and moustache areas can be shaded with D40 or other comparable dark colours in your palette.

Powdering.  Once satisfied that the Dermacolour Camouflage Creme has been applied correctly, apply Dermacolor Fixing Powder with your powder puff so that all the corrected areas are covered.  Application of the powder liberally is a must for weatherproofing.

Fixing.  Allow the powder to set for approximately 5-10 minutes (time lapse depends on severity of area covered).  After this period the Camouflage Creme is fixed.

Excess Fixing Powder is then gently brushed off with the soft natural goat hair blending brush, taking care not to dislodge or damage the prepared areas.  Mist the face with mineral water or aloe facial mist to soften the effects of the powder.  After this fixing process the treated areas are rub resistant and waterproof.

Uneven Skin.  Under special circumstances, should the skin have scars or uneven surfaces, these can be smoothed over with Dermacolor Skin Plastic.

Additional make-up.   If desired, a dry make-up may be applied over the treated areas.

Touching Up.  Touch up should not be necessary, as the Dermacolor preparations are waterproof and should last for the whole day.  In special circumstances a touch up or re-application including the use of Fixing Powder, might be desired.

Removal.  Use Dermacolor Cleansing Cream, or in the case of very sensitive skin, Dermacolor Cleansing Milk.  Apply Dermacolor cleansing preparation gently onto the made up skin areas until the camouflage is gently lifted from the skin.  Remove with a warm damp cloth or damp cotton pads.  A second application may be required.

Final cleansing.  For the final cleanse, apply Dermacolor Cleansing Lotion (Toner) with cotton pads.

For the milder application of the Toner, you may wish to dilute your product with distilled water.

Information.  Dermacolour preparations are clinically tested for skin sensitivity and as yet no toxic or allergic reaction has been observed.
