Suggestions for a waterproof foundation to cover ingrown hair scars on legs

That is it basically- any ideas ? I am trying to be not bothered by them but they really do make me self conscious and since I am going to spend alot of time this summer running after my kids on the beach I would love to find someing that covered them/ made them less angry looking so I could just have fun. I realise I will probably need a couple shades since (hopefully) my legs will tan a bit!

On the same theme.... Anyone found any attractive ( not over the top gaudy) board shorts since this would also solve the problem on some days.

Thanks for any help

Mac Face and Body...it's water resistant. Does fake tan not help? as thinking that would be better at staying on if you're planning on going in the water.

I would try mixing waterproof sun lotion with foundation / fake tan / concealer. Could be a cheap option. I've been using the DCs factor 50 waterproof sun lotion (Boots) as a primer on my face and it seems to help keep make-up in place as it is designed to stick to you.

Isn't there are product called Dermablend that covers skin problems and apparently is waterproof?

I suffer from scarring too! I use a self tan as a base (so I know it won't wash off!) And this really helps. If I need an added boost, I use rimmel 24hr foundation on my legs too - again for staying power as I worry about a sudden down pour causing me to streak.

Tan really gets rid of the redness though so deffo try that first and then top up with make up if you need to. Hope that helps!

thanks everyone ... Will have a look out for the dermablend and maybe do a trial run with some fake tan and see how much that helps.

Anyone have any recommendations about board shorts that don't cause ocular damage?
