Everybody appears to be jumping on the bandwagon of mineral makeup. Many think mineral implies natural, so they get drawn to it. However, switching from the conventional makeup is definitely not for everyone.
Minerals like iron oxides, zinc oxide, talc and titanium dioxide are ground and pounded, into minuscule particles to form makeup. To make sure that you are really buying a mineral makeup product of good quality, read the label carefully.
Benefits of mineral makeup have countless females flocking it. Fact is that it isn’t all just hype.
One very popular claim has been that it clears up acne. Most probably, the anti-irritating ingredients like zinc in mineral make up can be calming to the acne inflammation, but may not likely be a cure-all as acne can be caused by very many factors.
Lack of filler ingredients normally found in many conventional makeups, nevertheless, can lead to reduced pore clogging meaning reduced skin breakouts.
Another popular claim has been that mineral makeup may act as a sunscreen to guard skin from sun harm. The shielding claims for titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, typically found in many powder blends, have some positive research behind them. The US FDA has accepted titanium dioxide as a sunscreen and zinc oxide as a skin protectant. But no mineral makeup is going to provide you sufficient protection against those damaging ultraviolet rays.
Coming to mineral makeup’s believed skin-soothing properties, the anti-inflammatory calamine lotion used to calm that rash is essentially zinc oxide tinted with iron oxide, both of which are found in mineral makeup.
Mineral makeup’s very light feel is what makes it quite popular and appealing to sleep in. It is important to note that mineral makeup may not endure as long on the face as conventional makeup since it doesn’t have average cosmetic ingredients like waterproof polymers and binders.
