Mineral Makeup for a healthy natural glow
Mineral makeup is ideal if you hate the whole idea of gloppy goo covering your face. It gives you a healthy natural glow.
Mineral makeup is made from finely ground minerals taken straight out of the earth, and was created without the preservatives, perfumes, or dyes found in traditional cosmetics. Although it was first created over 30 years ago, Mineral Makeup has been, in recent years, taking the beauty world by storm.
Kathryn Frew, MD, a dermatologist at Juva Skin and Laser Center and MediSpa in New York City, reports, “This is an extremely popular style of makeup and it’s something that a lot of my patients use and love, and I use it myself. It’s also the product most patients ask about.”
One of the biggest attractions of this makeup is the light, long-lasting, natural glow it creates on the skin which can’t be duplicated by other types of cosmetics. Other fans report that they first tried mineral makeup because of its claims to skin health. The formulations in these cosmetics are alleged to be purer and less irritating; therefore, safer for the skin than traditional makeup.
The main ingredients in these lines of cosmetics are mica, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide. Although these ingredients have been used in cosmetics for decades, one of the factors that sets Mineral Makeup aside from the others is the smooth, long lasting coverage that comes, in part, from ‘micronizing’, or pulverizing the minerals so that they are microscopic or nanoparticle in size. The creators of this makeup line also take great pains to make sure that there are no synthetics, perfumes, or dyes in the makeup.
Some companies also add a mineral that helps this line of makeup give a ‘candlelight glowî to the skin: bismuth oxychloride. Although it is a mineral, Bismuth OxyChloride is not found in the earth. It is actually a biproduct of lead and copper processing. This agent is frequently used to ‘bulk upî or bind products, and to some women, can be an irritant. In large quantities, Bismuth causes itching, redness, and irritation and can also cause cystic acne in some who use it.
Proponents of mineral makeup say that it’s important to study the ingredients before purchasing the makeup. Mineral makeup generally falls into two categories: those who do not include synthetics, like paraben preservatives, and those who do. If the aim in buying this makeup is china-doll smoothness, then whether the compound contains ingredients that can’t be dug straight from the earth is not the goal. If the attraction to this makeup line is its more ‘natural’ qualities, then it is important to find makeup that contains only products that can be found in the earth.
