Any recommendations on a quality cover up for the face and hands that doesn't look like I am wearing make-up?

" The only thing that helps mine blend better on my face is the Clinique self tanner. I use a little bit every other day. And it won't turn your face orange, but it will your fingers if you don't wash your hands when your done. The tanner has a little bit of a tent when you first put it on. It takes about two hours to see the results. Best advice if you want to try it is, try it on friday and see what it does over the weekend. It always wears off quickly. "

" Dermablend is the best. This cosmetic line is used for people with diverse skin conditions. I've used for over four years and it's the best. The best way to go it's to get a free sample. It's very little but it had every tone available. That way you can be sure of which to buy. They have everything from concealers to hands and body creams. You can visit their website, www.dermablend.com or get it at Macy's. "

" Don't give-up to fight those white patches - vitiligo. What dermatologists said that "vitiligo has no cure" may not be true according to this EX-vitiligo patient who had 100% repigmentation of his vitiligo.

You may find his blog helpful http://vitiligo-cure.blogspot.com/... "
