Mineral Makeup is makeup made from naturally occurring pigments from the earth. It’s non-comodegenic (non-pore clogging) and so doesn’t irritate the skin or even penetrate it - it’s a perfect solution for sensitive skin and mature skin and a smart, common sense alternative for all of us who want to keep our skin beautiful and problem free. We all are aware by now that the majority of the things put in cosmetic products are at the least unhealthy and with continued exposure, can even be life threatening. So when there’s a better alternative out there, it behooves us to at least check it out. 

 

Colorescience is a mineral makeup and skin treatment all in one. Unlike traditional makeup, Colorescience products have been shown to have a positive effect on the condition of the skin. The Suncanny foundations and the Sunforgettable powders provide full spectrum UVA/UVB protection with zinc and titanium dioxide. The loose mineral pigments are hypoallergenic, purely natural, no additives, talcs, alcohol, dyes, mineral oil, preservatives or perfumes. They are free of traditional ingredients that can irritate the skin or clog the pores. The loose minerals are naturally anti-inflammatory and form a protective barrier over the skin protecting it from environmental pollutants. Not only does Colorescience mineral makeup nourish the skin its mineral components reflect light giving your skin a natural glow. 

 

Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are two minerals that are a very powerful sun block. At an SPF 20, they can protect your face from damaging UVA, UVB and URA rays. For this reason alone, mineral-based makeup is recommended by dermatologists and plastic surgeons during the healing time after surgery. Mineral makeup actually promotes and speeds up healing time. You also need not buy a separate sun block. This amazing product has the sun block built right in! 

 

The benefits that you will get from mineral makeup will really vary according to the brand that you choose. Many types of mineral makeup do include UV protection, which will help prevent you from developing skin cancer due to sun exposure. Mineral makeup is also known to be a great choice for women of all skin types. If you have sensitive skin, then there’s a good chance that mineral makeup may be the best option for you. 

 

There is no doubt that mineral makeup is certainly worth a try, with the many benefits that it has to offer. If you have not already given some consideration to using mineral makeup, then perhaps you may do so. It can really change the way that you feel about using any other type of makeup. 

 

There are other benefits to using organic cosmetics and skin care as well. For example, the less chemicals and artificial products that are contained in your skin care products, the less of a chance you will have an allergic reaction to them. Many people have found that certain cosmetics have triggered asthmatic reactions that are no longer triggered when using organic makeup.
