How can you cover vitiligo on your hands during summer?
You have several options for covering vitiligo on your hands in the warmer months:
Makeup and Camouflage Products:
- Concealing makeup brands like Dermablend, Covermark, and Zanderm are formulated to cover vitiligo patches
- Some members find success mixing different foundation brands together and blending carefully, then setting with powder
- Self-tanning lotions can help darken depigmented areas to better match surrounding skin
Sun-Protective Clothing:
- Long-sleeved rash guard shirts or swim tights can provide coverage while looking fashionable
- These options work well for outdoor activities and water sports
- Many members receive compliments on brightly patterned protective clothing
Important Sun Protection:
Regardless of which covering method you choose, always wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher on your hands. Reapply every 20 minutes, especially if swimming or sweating. White patches can still burn painfully in sunlight, and protecting your skin helps prevent further depigmentation.
Check the UV index daily (available on most weather apps) - if it's 3 or above, take extra precautions even on cloudy days.
