History

After 20 years in the film industry, doing makeup and technical design, Linda Lowndes heard the story of a boy condemned to a life of confinement indoors due to a condition that affected his skin's pigment. Deeply moved by this story, Lowndes, around nine years ago, found herself pondering what would become the biggest challenge of her life--to invent a formula to create a Microskin that not only covers visible skin conditions such as burns, scars, the effects of vitiligo and birthmarks, but is colour-corrected to match each individual's skin colour.

Specialties

Microskin is a simulated second skin which is formulated individually to color correct skin conditions such as Vitiligo, Scars, Birthmarks, Tattoos, Discoloration, Burns, etc.... It is a light liquidized application which is applied on to the epidermis (top layer of skin). Microskin is not a cream, and doesn't have the makeup appearance like other camouflage products. Once applied, Microskin is durable, flexible, and it won't rub off on clothing or linen. It's waterproof and allows your skin to breathe. Microskin is suitable for all genders and skin types.
