WIPED VITILIGLOW New make-up brand VITILIGLOW provide an alternative for those with vitiligo. It has been estimated 50 million people worldwide are born with the rare skin condition, vitiligo. Although it casues no pain, it affects the appearance of skin. People with vitiligo will find over time their pigmentation in their skin is lost, causing white patches to appear over their entire body. Founder, Polly Gotschi, who also lives with vitiligo says, “some people are happy to embrace their uneven skin and we encourage ‘body positivtity’ at VITILIGLOW. However, there are many people, like myself, who don’t feel comfortable enough to have their patches on show, and a product like VITILIGLOW can really help to give back their confidence.” VITILIGLOW is an all-in-one corrective cover for the skin that includes a primer, setting powder and suncream. It’s recommended to apply a thin layer to white patches and then blend away the edges. VITILIGLOW is available in 11 shades including a ‘cool’ and ‘warm’ range for every shade of skin.
