Pigmentation, also called age spots, are the bane of many girlsβ existence. They are usually harmless, but that doesnβt mean you donβt want to cover them up. I definitely want to make sure mine arenβt super obvious. If youβre with me on that, you are going to love what this list has to offer. Itβs loaded with easy ways that allow you to cover up your pigmentation and help you look as fabulous as you feel. Get ready to change your life!
1. Buy Camouflage Make-up
Yes, all make-up is designed to cover your perceived flaws. However, looking for specifically labeled camouflage make-up can do wonders for your age spots. Itβs less cakey and thick than other kinds and wonβt be so obvious when you put it on. You can find great options at any make-up store.
2. Use a Flat Make-up Brush
When you apply concealing make-up to your age spots, be sure to use a flat make-up brush. This will give you a more precise application and will help you blend the covering product so that you canβt see lines or color variations. You can find one in any budget, so you donβt have to worry that you canβt afford one.
3. Try a Self-Tanner
According to skincare experts, a good self-tanning product can help blend those pesky age spots right into your complexion. The trick is to blend it gradually instead of applying a whole bunch at one time. This method works best if your age spots are lighter than your surrounding skin. If they are darker (which is usually the case), this method will only make them more pronounced.
4. Consider Bleaching
There are products that are designed to lighten age spots. When you use it, be sure you apply it only to the actual spot or youβll wind up lightening the skin around it too. Experts recommend talking to a dermatologist before attempting to bleach your own skin. The products can be damaging if they arenβt used correctly.
5. Try Yellow Concealer
This works because it neutralizes the color of the age spots, making them appear lighter. Choose a product that is two shades lighter than your normal skin color, suggest the experts. Apply it in small amounts using a flat brush (see #2) and make sure you blend it well. This only takes a couple of minutes and gives you results you can see in no time.
6. Donβt Forget Foundation
Once you finish masking your age spots, itβs important to follow up with a foundation that matches your skin tone. This helps keep the cover up product in place all day long and helps blend the spots in with your complexion. Thatβs easy enough, right?
7. Consider a Chemical Peel
This treatment is kind of like a last resort kind of thing. It works by removing the top couple layers of your skin. This helps remove the layers where the age spots are darkest, leaving the spots lighter and less visible when the treatment is finished. You can get this done at most beauty salons or spas and recovery time is pretty minimal.
