Extract from Product Test Approval
To begin, a total of 100 patients were subjected to epicutaneous testing of the skin of their backs for 48 and 72 hours. These tests were performed by applying Dermacolor D4 to an adhesive test bandage and then applying the bandage to the skin for the aforementioned periods of time. All the patients were tested on an inpatient basis and were observed during the entire procedure of the test.

No skin intolerance reaction to Dermacolor D4 was observed.

In a second series of tests, Dermacolor D4 was applied to the skin of the face, neck, and ear regions. These tests were administered to patients who were known to exhibit sensitivity in these skin regions. This Dermacolor D4 testing was performed on 22 patients with skin sensitivity, on areas of skin which had already exhibited changes. No irritation of the skin was observed with these patients. The conclusion can therefore be reached that Dermacolor D4 is satisfactorily tolerated by the skin and that sensitivity reactions were not observed during this testing.

It deserves to be recorded here that no positive test results were observed with Dermacolor D4, even with test persons who were known to have extreme sensitivity to various medications and preservatives.

It must also be noted that a second series of tests was performed with Dermacolor D4, with repeated application to the skin four weeks after primary exposure. Even after the secondary exposure, no skin reaction could be determined. This test was performed on a group of 32 patients.

Preparation of Skin

  1. Apply Dermacolor Cleansing Lotion (Toner) with cotton pads. Use of Cleansing Lotion is a must to insure waterproofing.
  2. If required moisturise the skin with Cream Effective No. 2.

Colour Choice
From the 24 colours available in your Dermacolor Artist Palette (771008) or the 16 shades in one of the mini palettes (771006), choose a shade or shades (remember, all colours are intermixable and mixing may be necessary). Due to the influence of the sun, or the change of seasons, the colour tone of your skin will change from time to time and you will need to choose 2 - 3 different shades, Occasionally check which shade is most appropriate.

Application
Apply Dermacolor Camouflage Cream thinly and evenly with a sponge or fingers until 2 cm/1" past the edge of the condition. Fade away the edges with a dry sponge or brush, It may be necessary to dampen the sponge during the application.

Shading
To achieve a natural camouflage effect, proper highlighting and shading, (or the application of rouge) is necessary; D32 are your rouge colours. Apply gently and blend in the choice of Dermacolor Rouge from the cheek bone fading away at the temple. Eyebrows and the male beard and moustache areas can be shaded with 040 or other comparable dark colours in your palette.

Powdering
Once satisfied that the Dermacolor Camouflage Cream has been applied correctly, apply Dermacolor Fixing Powder (775701) with your powder puff (771720) so that all the corrected areas are covered. Application of the Powder liberally is a must for weatherproofing.

Fixing
Allow the powder to set for approximately 5 - 10 minutes, (time-lapse depends on severity of area covered), After this period, the Camouflage Cream is fixed.

Excess Fixing Powder is then gently brushed off with the soft natural goat hair blending brush, taking care not to dislodge or damage the prepared areas. Mist the face with mineral water or aloe facial mist to soften the effects of the powder. After this fixing process the treated areas are rub resistant and waterproof.

Uneven Skin
Under special circumstances, should the skin have scars or uneven surfaces, these can be smoothed over with Dermacolor Skin Plastic (775412).

Additional Make-Up
If desired a dry makeup may be applied over the treated areas.

Touching Up
Touch up should not be necessary as the Dermacolor preparations are waterproof and should last for the whole day. In special circumstances a touch up or reapplication, including the use of Fixing Powder, might be desired.

Removal
Use Dermacolor Cleansing Cream (775600), or in the case of very sensitive skin, Dermacolor Cleansing Milk (775630). Apply Dermacolor cleansing preparation gently onto the made up skin areas, until the camouflage is gently lifted from skin. Remove with a warm damp cloth or damp cotton pads. A second application may be required.

Final Cleansing
For the final cleanse apply Dermacolor Cleansing Lotion (Toner) with cotton pads.

For a milder application of the Toner, you may wish to dilute your product with distilled water.

Information
Dermacolor preparations are clinically tested for skin sensitivity and as yet no toxic or allergic reaction has been observed.
