Question 2

How long does it last for?

Accepted Answer

Independent scientific studies have proven that Camouflage by Microskin™ lasts on the skin for up to three days. We all have different types of skin—some lighter, some darker, some oilier, and some drier. Camouflage by Microskin™ maintains its durability for up to three days, during which the natural oils in our skin will begin to break down the Microskin™ technology as our dead skin cells shed.

No other consumer skin technology can offer a more durable, waterproof, or longer-lasting result. When applied to the hands, Camouflage by Microskin™ may wear off slightly quicker due to the hands being the most frequently used skin surface. Activities such as frequent rubbing, contact, and washing or drying of hands can sometimes cause the Microskin™ technology to wear off more quickly than on other areas of the body.

Question 3

The Camouflage by Microskin Simulated Skin technology:

Accepted Answer

Camouflage by Microskin™ is applied to the skin in liquid form. As the delivery agents rapidly evaporate, they leave behind a water-resistant film that suspends mineral pigments to match skin tone colors on the skin's surface. This creates a finish that looks and feels like your natural skin.
During the evaporation phase, the cellulosic and oil components migrate toward the skin's surface and partially enter the stratum corneum layer. This assists in binding the dried film to the skin's surface and provides significant elasticity to the film. When the Microskin™ film is removed using the Removing Serum, the cellulosic and oil-bound corneum cells are exfoliated along with the removed film.

Technically, any ingredients that remain on the surface of the skin or in the corneum layer are referred to as having "penetrated." However, they are not considered to have entered the capillary system and are, therefore, not classified as being "absorbed."

Microskin™ is formulated with lipophilic (oil-based) ingredients, which have difficulty penetrating further into the corneum layer due to the lower epidermal layer's higher water concentration, which is lipophobic (oil-resistant). Since water and oil do not mix, the concentration of ingredients in the Microskin™ film is carefully balanced to allow sufficient penetration to firmly adhere the film to the skin without enabling high penetration into the corneum layer. This precise balance also provides elasticity to the dried film, ensuring its lasting properties.

To prevent the complete blockage of sweat glands and hair follicles, the ingredient balance is meticulously adjusted to allow the skin to "breathe" and perspiration to pass through the water-resistant film.
When we say Microskin™ allows the skin to breathe, it does not mean that the skin itself breathes; the human respiratory system does not include the skin. Instead, Microskin™ creates microscopic vents during the evaporation of its delivery agent, allowing air and oxygen to reach the skin. Oxygen exposure is vital for maintaining healthy skin.

Additionally, Microskin™ allows perspiration to pass through the film and does not obstruct hair growth. Facial hair continues to grow, so male users may need to shave. However, Microskin™'s highly resistant and elastic properties enable careful shaving without damaging the film.

When the body sweats, it is normal to observe beads of perspiration forming on the Microskin™ film's surface. Sweat does not harm or damage the film. These unique properties of Microskin™, including adhesion, water resistance, and elasticity, ensure its functionality as a simulated second skin without blocking pores.

Microskin™ exemplifies innovative engineering, offering an unparalleled combination of durability, breathability, and natural appearance for a wide range of applications.

Question 4

Camouflage by Microskin™ is not a makeup, it is a simulated skin technology that must be applied a particular way to obtain an incredibly natural, long-lasting result.

Accepted Answer

We always recommend receiving a full consultation with a Certified Microskin™ Practitioner for the best results. If you purchase Camouflage by Microskin™ from our online shop, you will be directed to one of our online training modules.

When you book a consultation with a Certified Microskin™ Practitioner, you will work one-on-one with a dermatologist or skin specialist who has undergone extensive training in the Camouflage by Microskin™ system. During the consultation, the certified practitioner will demonstrate the Camouflage by Microskin™ difference on your skin.

You will have the option to purchase one of the 35 standard colors available, offering the closest match to your skin tone. Alternatively, you may choose a customized Camouflage by Microskin™ experience, where your skin will be evaluated and measured using our proprietary color-matching system. This system creates a precise Camouflage by Microskin™ color tailored to your individual skin tone.

Question 5

Application Techniques:

Accepted Answer

There are two techniques for applying Camouflage by Microskin™:

Stipple

The Stipple or Sponge technique is designed for relatively small areas, approximately the size of your hand. A specially developed stipple sponge is used, and its pore-like texture allows Camouflage by Microskin™ to be applied in very light layers, creating a natural, skin-like texture.

Airbrushing

This technique is used for larger areas. The airbrush enables a fine, even application that dries quickly.

During your consultation, you will be trained in both application techniques, and your Certified Microskin™ Practitioner will determine which procedure best suits your specific condition.

Question 6

Is Camouflage by Microskin a makeup:

Accepted Answer

No. Camouflage by Microskin™ is a Simulated Second Skin. It does not wear like a cremeor lotion-based makeup.

Question 7

Will Camouflage by Microskin help cover my skin imperfections?

Accepted Answer

Camouflage by Microskin™ is used to address various skin conditions, including vitiligo, birthmarks, burns, scarring, psoriasis, rosacea, lupus, eczema, pigmentation, and other related concerns.

While Camouflage by Microskin™ effectively provides visual color correction for these conditions, it does not alter the texture of the skin.

Question 8

Does wearing Camouflage by Microskin look like I have makeup on?

Accepted Answer

The results of Camouflage by Microskin™ can vary depending on the skin condition it is applied to. Factors such as skin texture, the need for multiple layering, and individual client expectations play a significant role in the outcome.

It is important to remember that Camouflage by Microskin™ is not a cure; it provides a visual color correction for skin disorders.

Interestingly, we have observed that clients often perceive the success of Camouflage by Microskin™ differently from how it is viewed by the general public.

Question 9

Does Camouflage by Microskin work on all skin colours?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it does! Our range of 35 different skin tone colors provides a very close match to your natural skin tone.

You can download the free Microskin Colour Match App to discover which color suits your skin tone best.

For a customized skin tone match, you can book a consultation with any of our Microskin™ Certified Practitioners worldwide.

Question 10

How is Camouflage by Microskin applied?

Accepted Answer

There are two techniques for applying Camouflage by Microskin™:

Stipple

This technique is trained for smaller areas. It uses a specially designed stipple sponge, and the pore-like texture of the sponge allows the product to be applied in a 3D manner. The product is built up slowly, creating a Microskin™ film with a natural, skin-like texture.

Airbrushing

This technique is used for larger areas. The airbrush allows for a fine, even application that dries very quickly.

A Microskin™ Certified Practitioner will determine which procedure is best suited for your condition.

Question 11

Can I have a spray tan before I have Microskinapplied or while I am wearing Camouflage by Microskin?

Accepted Answer

This is not advised. Camouflage by Microskin™ is color-corrected to your natural skin tone. When a spray tan is applied, it places an artificial color over your skin, which can interfere with our equipment that reads your skin tone. This will result in an incorrect reading, causing a mismatch between the Microskin™ color and your actual skin tone.

Question 12

What happens if I don’t have time to apply Camouflage by Microskin properly?

Accepted Answer

Camouflage By Microskin™ is not a quick fix, it takes time, dedication and you must makeit a part of your day-to-day routine, to achieve the life changing experience Camouflage By Microskin™ can offer.

Question 13

What is the recommended age to use Camouflage by Microskin?

Accepted Answer

We recommend not using Microskin™ products on infants up to 4 years old, as their young skin may be sensitive to the formula. However, all Microskin™ products are safe to use on individuals aged five years and older.

Question 14

Where can I buy Camouflage by Microskin?
