Mineral
Make Up
Mineral make-up is made up of
minerals such as iron oxides,
talc, zinc oxide and titanium
dioxide. They are ground and
milled or broken into very tiny
particles to create the make-up.
Traditional make up uses preservatives like parabens, chemical dyes and fragrances. Mineral
make-up leaves these out.
Mineral make-up is not a miracle
replacement for anti- ageing
serum, moisturiser and spot
cream but it does have skin care
benefits.
It’s often recommended for sensitive skin as it has fewer potential irritants and is soothing to
the skin.
Some cosmetic surgeons will
only let their patients use mineral make-up after surgery as it’s
free of irritants.
Some acne sufferers and people
who are prone to spot breakouts
say mineral make up has improved their skin condition.

It Protects
The ingredients in mineral
make-up, titanium dioxide and
zinc oxide are both sun blocks,
so mineral make-up products do
have a degree of sun protection.
Even so, it’s always recommended to put a sunscreen on if
you are out and about, even on
cloudy days, to protect your skin
from the effects of the sun.
Zinc oxide also has skin protection qualities. It’s often used
to treat nappy rash so can help
soothe irritated skin.
It Is Breathable
Yes, and it is one of the greatest
advantages that you can get.
It is light, airy and leaves your
skin looking completely beautiful. Besides that, most mineral
makeup products even have
age-reducing effects.
It Gives Outstanding Coverage
Well, frankly speaking, there
are a lot of controversies as
for mineral makeup having
any coverage and whether it is
enough. People, who use mineral makeup, would say that it
covers up the redness and all the
blemishes fantastically. You can
build the coverage to suit you.
It Is Lightweight
Perhaps the best thing about
mineral cosmetics is that it is
extremely lightweight. There
is no need to worry about the
makeup feeling too heavy or
caked on.
It Is Easy to Put on
You only need a few easy swipes
of the brush to have the needed
coverage. As it is a powder
there is no stripey effect, and
very easy to blend.
It Is Light Reflective
Mineral makeup can better
disguise any imperfections that
can’t be achieved with other
kinds of makeup and it controls
shine.
It Reduces Skin Imperfections
Many mineral cosmetic products are infused with various
vitamins that can make your
skin look healthier and younger,
reducing the appearances of
skin imperfections.
It Is Totally Oil-Free
It is beneficial to oily skin as it is
totally oil-free, which will keep
you from adding more oil to
your skin. This helps to prevent
clogged pores and pimples.`
