Mineral make uphome > cosmetics > mineral make upMineral Make up Pros and Cons. As we learn to take better care of our skin and ourselves, many people have turned to using make up that is made purely of minerals. These makeups differ from others in that they are made up entirely of minerals, and have no chemicals or preservatives. The good thing about mineral makeup is that is can have positive effects on your skin. It has a natural SPF, so the more you use, the more you are protecting your skin from the sun's damaging rays. This natural SPF comes from the minerals zinc oxide and titanium oxide, which naturally work together to create a sun block. Mineral makeup does not contain chemicals commonly found in regular makeup which some argue are toxins and ultimately not good for your skin. It can also be used on all skin types, even on sensitive skin. It does not have any added scent or talc, as they can be triggers for outbreaks on sensitive skin. Makeup made of minerals can also have a healing effect on rosacea and acne. The minerals have properties of anti-inflammatories, so they help to curb swelling and promote healing. If you do suffer from acne, mineral makeup covers marks made from blemishes quite well. This makeup does not cause your pores to clog, and can create a more youthful appearance by hiding lines and creases. There are some reasons that mineral based makeup might not be for all people, however. If you have a particular allergy to any of the minerals in the makeup, you might need to try different brands to see which one works best for you. Some makeup professionals also feel that using minerals on the skin doesn't allow the skin to breathe naturally and can cause skin problems to occur. Still, mineral makeup is worth trying, especially if you have sensitive skin. You can find mineral makeup through many online sources, such as purminerals and bareminerals, and offline at fine department stores everywhere. |
