The first contact with the clinic will be through the Get Harley service which will help in the preparation for your visit to the clinic.
The first appointment will be a remote assessment where you will be asked for further information about the concern you would like to conceal.
If the clinic can help you will be sent a booking link for a Veil Only Skin Camouflage consultation (£30) or a link for the full range of prescribable brands (£80)
What is skin camouflage?
Skin camouflage refers to the use of specialist creams and powders which are applied over scars, marks or non infectious skin conditions, to reduce their appearance. Some skin camouflage products are available on prescription.
Skin camouflage make up is used by all genders and can provide effective long lasting cover for the day or more. The products are waterproof and will stay on the body for up to 2 days and on the face for up to 12 hours. Most camouflage products have a shelf life to 2-3 years once opened.
The most common conditions it is used for include covering birth marks, scars (including acne scars), tattoos, pigment loss (e.g. vitiligo), rosacea, hyperpigmentation and birthmarks.
Most areas of the body can be camouflaged with the exception of the genital area. Skin camouflage is an economical alternative to other cosmetic interventions such as cosmetic tattooing.
What should I expect in an appointment?
The appointment includes finding a colour match and showing you how to use the products.
At the end of the appointment you will be provided with a list of the matched camouflage products, a small sample to practice with, and advice on where to purchase the products.
Why this clinic?
The BASC trained practitioner has experience in camouflaging a wide range of skin colours including darker skin tones, and has a personal experience of needing skin camouflage herself. If it is possible to help to address the underlying skin concern that can also be discussed during the appointment.
When is the best time to book an appointment?
The consultation should take place during daylight hours to ensure the best colour match. A colour match is chosen from a range of around 180 camouflage creams and powders.
My skin colour changes between the seasons. What should I do?
A new consultation may be required if the skin colour changes significantly between the seasons.
Can my GP prescribe skin camouflage for me?
The Veil, Keromask, Dermacolor and Covermark camouflage products are available on prescription, but the provision of this will vary.
The GP is not obliged to prescribe skin camouflage products, as it is discretionary.

Why should I consider the Oxygenetix range?
Treatment of cosmetic skin concerns such as acne, rosacea, pigmentation and scarring can involve periods of ‘down time’ after treatment where the skin looks red and inflamed.
Oxygenetix combines a leave on healing mask with exceptional natural looking coverage. Where most camouflage products can be heavy and chalky in texture, and can’t be used on raw, wet skin Oxygenetix can – actively promoting enhanced healing through its breathable matrix formation.
This means that it can be used as a therapeutic mask immediately after treatments such as peels, platelet rich plasma treatment and microneedling treatments.
Oxygenetix is the only cosmetic to be recommended by the World Burn Congress.
