Some ladies like the winter because of the stylish clothes that come with the season – sweaters, boots, knit stockings. Others, however, prefer the cold because it allows them to don long layers that cover up various imperfections that they’d rather not flaunt.

But what about women heading for warmer weather? Those preparing to take a tropical vacation (or live in a climate that’s mild year-round) may be uneasy about wearing clothes that show off scars or beauty marks usually hidden by long sleeves and pants.

Luckily, all hope is not lost. Gals can wear short shorts and still keep an imperfection hidden by using body makeup.

“After hearing too many rounds of the dreaded question ‘What’s that?,’ I resorted to wearing a waterproof concealer that stayed true throughout sweaty track runs and competitive volleyball games,” wrote an analyst at Allure.com.

Dermablend Cover Creme SPF 30 will conceal bruises, scars, birthmarks – even tattoos – and contains SPF 30 to protect skin from sun damage. The high-pigment formula will last for up to 12 hours, so wearing summery garments can be a carefree experience.
