Mineral Makeup Attributes

If you have read very many of my posts, you know I’m a big fan of the mineral makeup.  I have personally used it for over 5 years.  There are numerous benefits to mineral makeup.  Here are a few.  It gives your skin a great look and feel, stays on all day, is good for sensitive skin and it’s anti-inflammatory with out harmful ingredients.

Like most cosmetic products, mineral makeup has its fans and its critics.  Those of us who love it say that it’s very light, natural and long lasting.  There are some however, who say that it makes the skin dry, irritating and accelerates wrinkles adding years to one’s look.    That said, most consumers are initially drawn to try mineral makeup because of skin health claims.  Specifically that its pure formulations are safer and better for sensitive, even acne or rosacea-prone skin.

The great thing about mineral makeup is that it’s devoid of harsh chemicals and preservatives that stress the skin, clog pores and aggravate acne or skin conditions.  Personally, I moisturize, then wait about 10 minutes before applying the makeup.  I have not had an issue with dry, irritated skin or an acceleration of wrinkles.

The base for mineral makeup, titanium and zinc oxide, are both naturally occurring. There are no dubious ingredients that are typically found in most makeup.  These oxides provide a natural sun protection of SPF 15 and , because zinc has anti-inflammatory properties, it is great for conditions such as acne.  Another redeeming quality, mineral makeup is healing to skin if worn after cosmetic surgery or abrasive facial treatments such as microdermabrasion.

Although mineral makeup was discovered 30 years ago, it’s influence is still changing the cosmetics, fashion and film worlds.  Fantasia sells Jane Iredale Skin Care Mineral images.jpegMakeup.  Jane Iredale was a film makeup artist and observed what traditional makeup did to the skin.  This is what drove her to come up with something different which would cover but not be harmful and harsh to the skin but yet give a flawless look and a natural long lasting finish.

As we’ve discussed, mineral makeup provides many kinds of benefits.  A very serious benefit is its all day coverage, you can relax knowing you always look your best.

The ingredients in mineral makeup are pure and healthy and it feels wonderful while helping you look naturally beautiful.  Now that you know all of this, what are you waiting for?  Come into Fantasia and have a make over with Jane Iredale Skin Care Mineral Makeup.  I think you will be glad you did.
