Skin camouflage quotes

“I’ve seen an incredibly wide range of people with different conditions, including vitiligo, scars, burns, rosacea, acne or birthmarks. But when a client tells you that they have gained the confidence to go back to school, get a job or even go out socially, you know it is a worthwhile service.”
Thea Scott – volunteer

“Your service gives many of our patients a great deal of confidence in facing the outside world again.”
Consultant plastic surgeon

“[My volunteer] was very professional and sensitive. She showed me how to match the skin camouflage creams to my skin-tone and how to apply them, getting into the nooks and crannies of my face to hide the scars. It had a major impact. In my wedding photos, you can hardly see the scars at all.”
Omagh survivor – Northern Ireland

“I know the vitiligo won't go away but now I can just be myself again.”
Young service user

“We are incredibly proud to be presented with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. It is a testimony to the commitment of our volunteers and to the value of skin camouflage to our clients.”
Donna Tagg-Davies – skin camouflage service manager, London

“The chance to visit the British Red Cross and learn of its pioneering skin camouflage work has been a great inspiration for us.”
