The Benefits of Eco Friendly Cosmetics

Eco-friendly cosmetics are healthier for your skin because they use all natural minerals and ingredients in their products so that there are absolutely no unnatural chemicals or substances in their make up. I wear make up nearly everyday. Wearing natural make up gives me a bit of peace of mind knowing that I’m not slathering on chemicals every single day (which, by the way, cannot be good for your skin in the long run).

All natural mineral make up is less likely to clog your pores, allowing your skin to breathe and decreasing the amount of blemishes you would have using chemically manufactured cosmetics. They typically use powder foundation and concealer instead of liquid foundations or concealers that tend to give you an oilier, greasier look and increases the chances of blemishes. Now, if you’re like me, leaving on make up overnight and forgetting to wash your face before going to bed can have tragic results in the morning. Natural make up decreases the chance that you’ll wake up with surprise blemishes. Powder also does not run, so if it’s hot you won’t have to worry about your face melting.
