Pigment Concentrates - Matching Skin Tone
Human skin contains four types of pigment;
MELANIN is the dark pigment and causes the skin to become darker as it tans. The cells that produce melanin are called melanocytes and are the same in all races.
HAEMOGLOBIN is the pigment that gives red cells their colour. Haemoglobin oxygenated produces a healthy colour in the skin. When haemoglobin is lacking of oxygen, the skin takes on pale blush colour.
CAROTENS are pigments that gives yellow tone to the skin. A yellow cast can also be caused by eating too much foods that are yellow or orange colour- such as oranges or carrots.
ALBINISM is a condition resulting from lack of melanin. There is a lack of colour in skin, hair, eyes. Haemoglobin shows as pink in the eyes and other part of the body.
All skin tones may be achieved my mixing three basic colors together: Red, Black and Yellow. White is your foundation base.
Few basic starting points
One method might be to start with equal amounts for Red and Yellow Oxide. You most likely will want to keep adding Yellow to you get to a skin tone that is close to the shade you are after. This mini kit includes 10grs of yellow oxide for this reason.
If you want to darken the tone add small scoops of black one at a time.
