Make up for legs ?

Help I have battered legs . I cannot wear my dresses at the moment because my legs are a state , with scratches , bruises and small patchy skin irritations . I live outside gardening , dogs , horses and am always knocking into things or getting scratched from gardening so need a good covering product if such a thing exists .
id prefer a product that gives natural coverage to the effected areas rather than a whole leg product , any ideas please or is it just me that doesn’t have flawless skin .

Sally Hansen does a great leg make up. I’ve used it for years after a colleague told me about it.

Second the Sally Hansen. It stayed in place in near 40 degree heat during a Greek wedding and the reception. It didn't stain my dress and washed off with soap and water. It's a lot easier to control the coverage than with a gradual fake tan.

Third the Sally Hansen!

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs is great, but it's all over to look like a tan. That's not what the OP has asked for. I think something like Dermablend may be better for covering scars and marks, etc.

Agree Sally Hansen is the best, nothing more expensive that I have tried has worked. I think using a light coverage of that all over will blend better than trying to cover patches with a make up style cover up. Using the light colour and applying sparingly doesn't look like fake tan, just a nice blurring of imperfections.

Surely the best thing for your legs would be to just keep them exfoliated and moisturised, wear your dresses, and let the sunshine heal them.?

I really like the Sally Hansen one but it’s fairly dark, does require a bit of skill and can coat the surrounding area a bit. I find the Erborian CC Body easier
