We have a formal family event in May. Naturally this means my forearm have sprouted THREE (yes shouting) age spots. They're about the diameter of a chickpea. And weirdly similar, not the issue.
Does anyone know a good cover-up, concealer? My dress has short sleeves.
The event is in early May, there's not time for the dermatologist to laser them and have them healed. I'm bummed.

I don't know of a good concealer but if you have an Ulta near, you might want to try this. At least start applying this daily to see if it will help diminish the spots colors. The Ordinary serumYou could also try this and then cover with foundation. Find a foundation that wouldn't rub off since it would be on your arms. e.l.f. peach concealer |

I’ve got an excellent cover up concealer. I use it only for a very dark mole thing I have by my eyebrow. It completely covers it up.
NYX - HD. Studio Photogenic - Concealer Corrector
It’s in a liguid tube. Attached brush.

I’d use Sally Hansen airbrush legs. It won’t rub off as easy as concealer would.

Honestly? I wouldnt worry about it. If people are judging you on a couple spots on your arm, that's on them!

I had no idea there are air brushing products for the legs. And I would never think to put concealer on my forearm. I don’t even use it on my face.
Definitely not judging, but certainly feeling very lazy! Maybe I’m not as presentable as I thought I was!

It looked very natural and not orange at all like a self tanner might. I only used it on my legs so I don't know how it would work on your arms. I would imagine the same way. It's all skin after all. |

I was going to let my old-lady-with-outdoor-life legs fly, now I wonder if I should give it a try for the dinner with the short dress. I'm already sucking it up to wear mascara. I appreciate my kids friends (girls) telling me lash extension type things are on their way out, unless maybe i become an influencer  They each said try tubing mascara - I'm hoping one department store or Sephora trip is all I need. |

Oh- now that you know it exists- go all out if you want. Everyone deserves to glam up when they want! The eyelash extensions are heading out?? Oh thank god! I’ve been considering a lift.. but I’m a lower than lower maintenance girl- the idea of hair or nail appointments just is a no go for me- I don’t want to keep up eyelashes either. Hahah I have been using subtle falsies for a while when I know a lot photos will be taken. The tubing mascara is great! |

I'm pretty much of this mind, since I walk around with numerous "old lady" bruises on my arms at all times. But there's still a minuscule part of my brain that perks up at all these products. |

I use this Dior Face and Body concealer on my chest to help hide sun spots and really like it.  |
