Has Any Ever Used Derma Blend Or Cover Mark These Creams Are Used To Conceal Vitiligo ???

Posted by Carl R. Manley on March 6, 2010 at 11:41am

I notice that most of us men with Vitiligo would rather not use a cover cream like Derma Blend or Covermark, Women on the other hand are more comfortable with make up or cosmetics so they would much rather use a concealer I used to work in the construction industry so wearing a concealer was out of the question I figured doing that on a routine basis would be kinda annoying especially with such a busy lifestyle that I lead, but I like the way women with Vitiligo look after they apply the cover cream because I have saw several pictures and it made women feel good inside and outside even if it was only temporary until the concealer came off.I know concealer is'nt for everybody but for those who use it, they look damn good with it !!!!!!!

    I have been told by other people with vitiligo that they have messed up their share of turtle neck sweaters, pillow cases, bed sheets, and other people too.........lol !!!!!!

      I wear turtle necks all the time. I put a scarf over my face to keep my makeup from getting on the neck when pulling it over my head. I remove the makeup at night before going to bed. I use a wet paper towel with baby oil on it and it removes every trace of make up. There is no make up on my bed sheets. I found that a bar of ivory soap is great for washing out the makeup if it does get on your clothes. I rub the soap on the makeup stain and scrub gently and it comes right out. I mentioned earlier I use Dermablend and Lauren Huttons Good Stuff. I don't know if Ivory soap will work on other types of make up.I have had over 10 years experience dealing with the make up issue. I say do what is comfortable for you. It is a hassle.

        Pat I fully agree with you, yes it is a hassle but people have to do whatever makes them feel comfortable about their situation

    Hey Carl, I use the Dermablend for a lonnnnnnnnnggggggggggg time, and just recently started wearing my natural vit skin since i've naturally depigged so much over the years.

      Dear Brandy I know a lot of women who started off using Derma-Blend and Cover Mark but they eventually go back to wearing no consealer at all because they realized that it was becoming very inconvenient for them

        It definitely can turn into a hot mess--literally lol.

    Yes, in fact it ruined a lot of my close. Because I was fair skinned, I had to use two shades so my face would not look red. I had to be to work at 7:00 AM, leave my house at 5:09 to catch a 5:35 train.(I traved to work) It was a nightmare. I covered my face, but my body, hands and legs were still spotted. I started to look like a joke so I stopped. The picture above looks very nice and I know that feeling because that is how my Vitiligo was looking at first. And yes black cloths are good because anything else will get ruined, even your sheets if you forget and laydown.(I did) And do not forget you put this on and then the setting powder and it has to sit for awhile, then you brush off the excess power. too much work when you are working and have to travel. Forget the summer months, if you should wipe your face or hug someone. Big MESS.
    Good luck to anyone who can deal with this. I couldn't and I would never tell anyone not to try if that is what they wanted.
    After my experience, I used prayer, family and friends. It is now 26 years later and I go out and speak in Public about Vitiligo and I am very proud happy with me. Vitiligo has made me a better and more loving person. I have more compliments now at the way I try to carry myself. We all can do it, but first learn to love yourself. Only you can make the change, no makeup in the world can do that for you. Yes at first it is hard, but you can do it. FIND a SUPPORT GROUP near you or start one. That is the best way to start. I know because, I was alonely person at first. God Bless and Good Luck
    Good Luck.

      Barbara I understand what you went thru because using a consealer during your daily commute can be frustrating sometimes because it does rub off and like you said if you hug somebody and accidently forget you have it on it can be a very messy situation and I know it would of been for myself because I sweat excessively no matter if it's cold or hot outside

    I use Dermblend mixed with Lauren Hutton's Good stuff. The Dermablend does rub off. I leave my mark on everyone I hug or kiss. I would like to find out more about microskin. I sent them an email asking about the cost. To date they have not gotten back to me. I don't want to pay the $75.00 consultation fee if I can't afford the treatments.

      Derma blend only makes people feel good temporarily because it brings back their self esteem by hiding the vitiligo but at the end of the day the vitiligo is still there but I guess derma-blend and covermark are good if you feel uncomfortable out in the public
