SJ Froom's advice on scarring and acne

You asked: Hi, I have Addison’s disease which leaves me with brown patches on my body. I heal very slowly and scar easily. Help!

SJ answered: For coverage try bareMinerals SPF15 Foundation or Multi Tasking Concealers – this will hide the scars and patches and even out the appearance of the skin tone.

You asked: I used to self harm – how can I reduce the look of my scars?

SJ answered: bareMinerals sPF15 Foundation is non- transferable and wont come off on clothes, in rain or hot weather! It is multi-tasking too meaning it is not just for the face, you can use it all over the body and is great for covering scars.

You asked: I am 32 & of mixed race origin (white/black) and as a result I scar very easily, what can I do to get rid of scars and marks?

SJ answered: Easy peasey with bareMinerals! You can get flawless coverage for scars and marks without looking or feeling like you are wearing anything on your skin. Simply swirl, tap and buff bareMinerals SPF15 Foundation over scars and marks to achieve flawless coverage all day long. For extra concealing try our bareMinerals Bisque Multitasking Concealer – this can be used under or over foundation for even more coverage.

You asked: I have uneven skin tones - yellow round eyes and reddish skin where my acne scars. What do you suggest?

SJ answered: I suggest you go to one of our bareMinerals counters and get a professional complimentary foundation shade match and make-under.  Once you find the bareMinerals foundation that works with your skin tone it will smooth out the appearance of all your skin concerns. Your beauty ambassador will also suggest the correct shade of bareMinerals multi-tasking concealer.

You asked: I have always suffered with spots but just lately I have small white spots under the skin and nothing I use seems to clear them.

SJ answered: Make sure you are using a product that is 100% natural such as bareMinerals primers and foundation.  These white spots could also be caused by something in your make-up bag?  bareMinerals is made up of 100% pure crushed rocks from the earth and doesn’t contain  fillers, binders, perfume, parabans or preservatives – with bareMinerals it’s not about what’s in it but what’s not in it! bareMinerals also contains a lot of Zinc Oxide found in spot and nappy creams , proven to help heal the skin while your wearing it and gives you flawless coverage all day long . It’s make up so pure you can sleep in it.

You asked: I have stress induced alopecia and my hair is extremely fine, you can almost see my scalp it's that fine. I also have acne. Help

SJ answered: bareMinerals is fabulous to cover acne and acne scaring. Firstly, it helps heal acne as it contains a lot of Zinc Oxide and because it is 100% pure bare Minerals with no fillers, binders, perfumes, preservatives and parabans it will not aggravate acne or make it worse.  Secondly, you will get the most amazing coverage all day long! The beauty of bareMinerals is you can get 100% coverage without looking or feeling like you have anything on your skin. I would recommend using our Full Flawless Face Brush and Maximum Coverage Face Brush for best results. If your acne is really bad and you need extra coverage then try our bareMinerals Multi Tasking Concealers either under or over your bareMinerals foundation – this will give you great results and a flawless base all day long.

You asked: Hi SJ I have 3rd degree burn scars. What make-up do you think would cover them without being heavy?

SJ answered: I would use a combination of bareMinerals Multitasking Concealer and bareMinerals SPF15 Foundation. First swirl, tap and pat onto the skin using our Maximum Coverage Face Brush and then buff over the top with our Full Flawless Face Brush - you will be amazed by the results!
