Tired of creating the “natural” look with chemicals? Justine Kim touts the benefits of all-natural makeup.
Everywhere you look, “natural” is in. Our society is finally recognizing that we use too many unnecessary chemicals. Converting to an all-natural lifestyle is a means of reducing the stress of this chemicalsoup we live in.
Supermarkets are embracing organic groceries and natural product sections. And people are looking to all-natural diets and alternative health therapies more than ever before. The cosmetic industry is the latest to embrace this all-natural craze. Mineral makeup is the latest addition to an emerging beauty culture dedicated to better living.
Cosmetic companies are marketing it by different names, but they all have a common ingredient – minerals. Mineral makeup takes its inspiration from minerals and inorganic pigments that exist in nature. Many of these coloured minerals, such as titanium dioxide, iron dioxide, mica, zinc, and ultramarine pigments can be combined to make foundations, eye shadows, and shimmery body powders. Unlike traditional products, mineral makeup contains no perfumes, talc, alcohol, dyes, oils, or preservatives.
Here are some of the reasons why makeup artists and dermatologists say it’s the best kind of makeup for your skin:
Ideal for Sensitive Skin
Most commercial makeup is full of unnecessary and sometimes harmful ingredients, which can wreak havoc on the delicate skin of your face. Lots of women struggle with acne, allergies, dryness, and clogged pores caused by this unfriendly commercial makeup.
Since mineral makeup is free of these artificial fillers and preservatives, it will help enhance your skin, not create more problems. It doesn’t clog your pores, so it doesn’t irritate or penetrate the skin. It’s suitable for all skin types.
Nourishes Your Skin
Spas provide natural skin treatments to rejuvenate the skin, but these treatments can be expensive. Mineral makeup contains triple-milled minerals like titanium, gold, zinc, magnesium, and aluminium. These ingredients naturally relax and refresh the skin, as if you have just spent the day at the spa. It offers you a beauty solution in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
