​14 Instagrammers with vitiligo you’ll want to follow

I’ve found Instagram a real treasure-trove for discussing and promoting positive mental health, body positivity and chats about vitiligo. I’ve now had vitiligo for over 25 years and it really knocked my confidence, but being able to follow such positive, inspirational people on Instagram can really help you feel part of a ‘vitiligo community’ if, like me, you feel conscious of your vitiligo and nervous about showing your patches. I still choose to cover my vitiligo, and that’s totally okay, but you want to embrace your skin and show it to the world, joining the vitiligo community on Instagram and following a few of these Instagram accounts can help you feel more confident and part of a supportive, understanding community.

Vitiligo Association Australia camouflage workshop

I recently took part in Vitiligo Association Australia’s camouflage workshop via Zoom. If you haven’t heard of them, the VAA was founded in September 2010 for patient support, public education and the promotion of research into vitiligo within Australia. Anyone with an interest in vitiligo can join the VAA, which is a not-for-profit association.

At VITILIGLOW®, we have a large customer base in Australia as many people with vitiligo choose to cover up their patches before heading to the beach. The camouflage workshop featured a wide range of camouflage products and companies, and I was delighted to be asked to talk about VITILIGLOW®.

Speakers and experts in the workshop included camouflage expert Joanna Blair. She is a professional makeup artist, director of Joanna Blair School of Makeup and over 20 years of experience with paramedical camouflage makeup. Joanna teaches people with vitiligo how to apply camouflage makeup on themselves.

If you didn’t get the chance to join the Zoom meeting, you can watch the full video here:
If you want to learn more about the Vitiligo Association Australia, head over to their website. And if you’re in Australia and want to order VITLIGLOW® products, we do ship worldwide, so you can order on our online shop.

Best wishes,
Polly
