Remember the saying, "What's old is new again?" Well here we come full circle with THE beauty trend that has taken the world by storm. Mineral makeup is not a new concept yet it is causing a MAJOR revolution in the health and beauty industry!! Natural crushed minerals from the earth have been used for centuries by both men and women long before the era of makeup with synthetic ingredients and fillers. And now with the awareness of skin health and natural beauty, the entire world is flocking to the new trend, and for good reason. There are so many benefits from using mineral makeup and these are just a few of them:
1. Mineral makeup is natural and contains no harmful fillers or chemicals. It is hypoallergenic and is also safe for sensitive skin.
2. When you wear mineral makeup, unlike the chemical-laced products, it is so very light on your face and it eliminates that "mask" feeling, and does not clog your pores.
3. Natural mineral makeup contains of course minerals and these minerals are actually good for your skin and can even repair some of the damage from years of using chemical cosmetics, sun exposure, or even neglected skin.
4. Mineral makeup, applied properly and with clean brushes enhances your own facial features in a way that you get a natural look.
5. Mineral makeup can actually diminish lines and wrinkles, dark pigments (age spots), dull skin, fully covering these, for a flawless finish.
6. Mineral makeup, made with the mineral, zinc oxide provides protection from harmful sun rays.
7. Mineral makeup is safe to use after procedures such as skin peels. In fact, studies show that mineral makeup calms the skin and enables it to heal more quickly.
8. Mineral makeup wears better and longer than the traditional chemical makeup. It stays on until you take it off and does not smear as easily as the traditional products - even in the hottest humid environments.
9. Mineral makeup is all-natural. So there is no need to test it on lab animals.
10. The ingredients in mineral makeup are inert and therefore it does not support the growth of bacteria.
11. Because mineral makeup is comprised of natural minerals, it carries virtually no risk of allergic breakouts, soothes and nourishes the skin.
These are but just some of the benefits of using mineral makeup. With all of the benefits of this old, yet new phenomenon, it is no wonder that sales of mineral makeup have gone through the roof. What's not to like about it? As a mineral makeup user, myself, I can honestly say I will never use traditional makeup again. Now how about you?
