If you have not yet decided, try it at least once. That is, use mineral make-up for the day and check out the difference. If it is any better than the normal make-up that you have been using, then make the switch. Mineral make-up has become popular, is being recommended by few dermatologists. They are yet to ascertain facts-for example, whether, sleeping in mineral make is not harmful as in case of regular make-up. It is quite ironical that the first of the mineral make-up products were sold via dermatologists only! Reputed companies like Neutrogena, Physicians Formula, and MAC have already launched their products. Despite the market being niche, it is growing in US.
Some of the common minerals that are used include zinc oxide, ultramarine (found in precious stone lapis lazuli) and titanium dioxide. These minerals are found in the earth and are finely ground. Since the products are made from natural minerals, women who have unusual skin type or darker skins cannot use these products. The hallmark of these make up kits is that they are not fragrant, contain no form of preservative or dyes to increase their shelf life. This means that it is not prone to create allergies or skin reactions. This naturally increases the face value of the woman using the products. Mineral make up can be used by people having sensitive skin and also those who have undergone plastic surgery. People who already have skin conditions like acne, pimple, redness, itchiness can safely use mineral make-up or long periods without any side effects.
No make up comes without certain flaws. Natural make-up with minerals tends to crack and the crust can come off. In some older women, the wrinkles also show after a while. But if mineral makeup is advantageous otherwise, ways can be found to circumvent the problem. Since it also comes as loose powder, it is difficult to carry it around. Some companies have found ingenious ways to figure this out. Urban legend has made a small pot with an applicator brush. Colorsciences has a retractable brush to carry the loose powder. Mineral foundation powder is becoming popular with new age women who are not afraid to experiment. Make-up that also has healing properties is quite a winning combination and worth the price tag. AS mineral make up extends the areas of skin care it is an appealing product in recent times.
