Secrets Of Mineral Makeup

It's an open secret that women love makeup and there is nothing wrong in it, after all makeup makes one look beautiful. But there are certain makeup and cosmetics that harm the skin. So even though they may make you look beautiful but in the long run they are actually damaging your skin and taking away your natural beauty. Most women don't realize this until skin problems like red spots, blemishes, rashes and wrinkles at an early age shows up. The skin on our face has tiny pores and makeup clogs them. Continuous blockage of these pores slowly destroys the skin cells and the skin starts losing its natural beauty. So if you like to wear makeup then make sure you are using the right makeup consisting of natural ingredients.

One such type of makeup is mineral makeup. It is a cosmetic that contains only natural products; hence it is devoid of any harsh chemicals and gentle on the skin. It does not contain any artificial perfumes, dyes or chemicals. Nowadays many women are turning to natural makeup creams and lotions as they are realizing the harmful effects of using too much chemical based creams and lotions. The term mineral makeup was first coined in 1970 and it was a time when women favored used natural ingredients. Later in 1998 cosmetic companies came to understand the many benefits of natural makeup and it found its way in the mainstream cosmetic industry. It is called mineral cosmetics because all the ingredients are extracted from the earth in form of minerals. Later on these minerals are crushed, sterilized and processed and creams and lotions are made out of them. Mineral cosmetic is nowadays sold in different forms in the market; it is available in the form of foundation, blush, lipstick or eye shadow. This makeup usually is made out of a combination of naturally occurring minerals such as micronized minerals, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Traces of iron and clay are also found in this type of makeup. Due to the complete lack of dyes, perfumes and harmful chemicals it does not harm the skin and doesn't cause any inflammation or wrinkles.

Another top reason for the wide acceptance of mineral cosmetics is the look they give. Unlike chemical based makeups, natural mineral based makeup leaves the skin soft and supple and imparts a natural glow. Moreover it is not heavy and feels like you are not wearing any makeup at all. Another big advantage of it is that you don't have to shop according to skin type; mineral based cosmetic is suited for all skin types. It doesn't clog the pores on the skin and allows the skin to breathe.

Mineral Makeup is also easy to apply when compared to other liquid cosmetics. All you need to do is simply apply is to the face and it's done. The clay in the makeup absorbs the oil secreted and leaves a smooth texture on the skin. Nowadays mineral cosmetics are also available with natural SPF to protect your skin from UVB and UVA rays.
