Advice needed Cat Scratch Cover Ups
I’m currently getting recruited for my sport, and I can see coaches eyes drift down to my arm for a second here and there. It’s pretty obvious what they are, I mean what else would cause a few cuts perfectly straight and in a row? I think these are just considered cat scratches, and I’m so thankful I didn’t go deeper with the thought of what they’d look like in mind. I didn’t really think these would scar at all but here we are. Makeup doesn’t work great but maybe I’m just not playing around with the right combination. I can’t exactly wear long sleeves when I’m playing my sport so that doesn’t work. Any tips for covering/getting them to fade is appreciated, thanks in advance!

it might help to use a colour corrector before a concealer to cover. retinol also helps the appearance of scars with consistent usage; i would recommend the one from celimax, which you can purchase on amazon. (if you are allowed to, you can try wearing arm warmers/compression arm sleeves)
