Question: Can I use makeup to cover my back acne scars?
At one point, when I was younger, I had back acne, because of the excessive use of hair products. Now, that I’m older, I notice that there are scars there. I’m not sure how to medically get rid of them, BUT I plan on seeing a dermatologist. The problem is, that I am getting married soon (too soon for any dermitological help), and I have a backless dress. What kind of makeup can I use, if ANY to cover the scars. HELP PLEASE, I don’t have a lot of time.

    You could. But it would just rub off. Why don’t you buy some shea butter lotion and massge you skin every night before you go to bed. I guarentee it will make your scars less noticiable.

    Absolutely!!
    Many dermatologist offices can recomment places that sell body make-up.
    I believe one of the leading cosmetic companies also sells a body make-up you can purchase at your local dept. store!

    yea they do have waterproof make-up.. but in the meanwhile, try cocoa butter or even shea butter to fade and even the skin tone.. vitiman E and A.. aloa vera.. LEMONS R A NATURAL SKIN LIGHTENER BTW

    You should use oiled-base and a press powder for re-touch. Don’t forget to check with the dermatologist.

    A dermotologist or plastic surgeons office can sell you fade cream. You don’t usually even need a prescription. It works great!

    MAC sells a face and body foundation. It’s not cheap, but it comes in alot of shades so you shouldn’t have a problem finding one that matches to your skin tone.

    There’s also another brand(I can’t think of the name) that can be found at Target. It’s cheaper and in a larger container.

    ETA: Coverblend is another brand. You can find it at Ulta.
