The latest popular trend in cosmetics is mineral makeup. The idea of mineral makeup is over thirty years old, but it wasn't until the last few years that this new trend has begun to take over. Countless cosmetics companies have developed their own lines of this makeup whose ingredients come from the earth's natural minerals.
When choosing a brand, you should be very careful and wary of imitation products that claim to be made from all-natural mineral ingredients, but aren't. Many companies are just trying to profit from a hot, new trend, instead of offering the real thing. Since any makeup containing minerals can be marketed as "mineral makeup", you need to take a close look at the ingredients to ensure you are getting a pure product.
I have used a loose mineral powder as my foundation over this last year. I've just loved the change. There is a huge difference between my old foundation and this new, mineral foundation formula. The natural ingredients in mineral makeup are much better for your skin as they allow it to breath, and don't clog your pores. While many physicians have different opinions on the subject, most agree that mineral makeup is healthier for your skin. Until there is definite clinical proof on the subject, I have decided to just go off of my own personal experience. My mineral foundation has a much more natural look and hasn't caused my skin to break out at all.
Of course, if you end up with an imitator that doesnt contain pure ingredients; you may experience irritation to your skin. Just because the product claims to be all natural, doesnt mean it is. Read the ingredients to be sure and watch out for any dyes, chemicals or preservatives. One particular ingredient is used by a lot of imitators. Be on the lookout for Bismuth Oxychloride. Even though it is a mineral, it is not a natural one and is known to be a skin irritant. It can cause itching and even a rash.
The nice thing about the coverage is that you have control over how heavy you want it to be. It can be applied heavily, without looking thick or clumpy. This is really beneficial for women with acne or scarring. The coverage also lasts a long time so you wont have to worry about it wearing off throughout the day.
It also offers SPF protection from the suns harmful rays. When it comes to protecting your skin from the sun, you can never do too much. I use both a lotion with SPF protection and the loose powder. Together they protect my skin from getting early wrinkles and sunspots.
I have loved my mineral makeup. You'll have to see what you think once you experience it. If you give it a try, you may find you love it too. - 16650
