The Benefits of Mineral Makeup

When I first saw an ad on mineral makeup on a teleshopping network long ago, I thought wow, this must be some kind of skin nourishing makeup, but I did not have my facts right, these days lot of women wish to go green with mineral makeup, as they think it is more natural and organic.

Mineral makeup has  iron oxides, talc, zinc oxide, and titanium dioxide that are finely milled, into tiny particles to create makeup. The finer the coverage, the better the coverage and more natural looking the makeup as the particles sit together closely.

mineral makeup ingredients

Mineral makeup is free of  emollient oils and waxes, fragrance, and preservative ingredients, preservatives and fragrance are often associated with irritation for sensitive skin types, hence mineral makeup is good for these skin types.

It is also researched and known that zinc oxide protects the skin from the sun, but you cannot count on your mineral makeup for the entire long lasting sun protection from the strong ultraviolet rays.

Because of its ingredients, mineral makeup has lesser bacterial contamination. it is also seen that mineral makeup has a longer shelf life.:)

Though it is popular that mineral makeup helps with acne, this is not completely true, the zinc oxide in mineral makeup does have soothing properties for the acne, but it does help combat acne. it is also true that mineral makeup is oil free hence the chances of pore clogging are lesser too. Though if you layer on powder sunscreen foundation concealer, then you might end with clogged pore.
