Got Sensitive and Acne-Prone Skin? Use Mineral Makeup

Mineral makeup is not makeup, but extended skin care. New Beauty magazine calls it “makeup with meaning.” 

Mineral makeup is made of oil-free, inorganic minerals. They don’t support bacterial growth. This makes the makeup especially suitable for acne-prone skin. It also does not feature sensitizers like chemical dyes and perfumes that may trigger allergic reactions, so it is gentle for sensitive skin too.

The key elements in mineral makeup are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Both are sunscreens, offering broad spectrum protection from the sun, i.e., from both UVA and UVB rays. Dermatologists regard these elements as physical blocks, since the skin does not absorb them; they “sit” on the surface. 

Zinc is an antioxidant. It helps to protect skin against oxidative damage induced by free radicals. 

Titanium dioxide features light refraction index higher than that of diamond! This quality helps to give your skin a luminous and flawless look, since diffused light on your face camouflages the imperfections. 

Mineral makeup renders the most natural finish to the face. This makeup is almost invisible on your face, yet offers long-lasting coverage and a satiny smooth appearance. So, if you got skin issues and want a perfect face, ditch regular makeup and switch to minerals.
