Mineral Make Up

Fri, Jun 27, 2008

Has make up ever irritated your skin? Have you found your skin worse off than before applying that fabulous new brand of make up? You just bought a new shadow but instead of beautifying your eyes, it only leads to a terrible sty? What about the wrinkles and fine lines make up causes? Have you notices it aging your skin even quicker? What make up should mature skins and sensitive skins use then? The answer lies in mineral make up. This is made from mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and other naturally occurring minerals. It is crushed and blushers, eye shadows, concealers, loose powder, and other such make up items are formed. Zinc and copper are minerals that your skin needs so this make up feeds the skin just that. The renewal of skin is promoted and prevents future damage too.

Carcinogen is not found in mineral make up. This is a talc that ages the skin really quickly. So this makes the make up especially great for aging skin. Neither are there any petro chemicals in them. The youthful and natural glow of our skin really starts to diminish as we grow old and traditional makeup only seems to egg the process on faster. It has light reflecting properties which trick the eye into making the skin look younger.

Mineral Make Up is great for extremely sensitive skin. There are no irritants in them. Absolutely no preservatives, perfumes, dyes or alcohols! FD&C dyes are the leading cause for allergies and other reactions. The colours in mineral make up are due to the natural minerals. When iron oxide is crushed, the colour is created naturally. Since it is so pure, it can be used on the most sensitive skins. Even directly after a surgical procedure. For cheap shimmery make up, you will have to look elsewhere. Traditional make up uses bismuth oxychloride which is a cheap filler to get that shine. It also creates a heavy feel to the make up. So a sure sign to know whether your make up is mineral based or not, check the feel. If it is light and easy to apply, it is mineral based.

Mineral make up is also great for sufferers of acne. It is oil free, non comodogenic, and anti inflammatory. It does not support the growth of bacteria. So those angry red blemishes and those pus filled zits can be concealed well and also not aggravated further. Of course mineral make up does not actually cure acne, but it does help it heal faster. There are certain companies that have actually come up with products that are made to especially treat your skin while you sleep.

And last, but not the least, mineral make is a great sun screen. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide work as a great natural block against the skin. It has a sun protection factor of up to 20 and filters UVA and UVB rays as well.

So ditch your ordinary make up and go mineral! Start feeding your skin today!
