Mineral Makeup

As beauty rumors go, mineral makeup was born in San Francisco in the mid-1970s. Actually, it's referred to as a "quiet, little makeup revolution" post Haight Ashbury days!

It was called "mineral makeup" - products made of all natural, finely ground minerals from the earth, without any of the chemicals, dyes, and preservatives found in traditional makeup. Fast-forward some 30 years: Mineral makeup is virtually exploding the beauty market.

And, you can benefit in many ways!!

"This is an extremely popular style of makeup - and it's something that a lot of my patients use and love, and I use it myself. It's also the product most patients ask about," says Kathryn Frew, MD, a dermatologist at Juva Skin and Laser Center and MediSpa in New York City.

And while mineral makeup comes in a variety of forms, by far the most popular are the loose powder foundations and blushes. These are light, finely ground loose minerals that are buffed into the skin using a wide, fluffy brush.

They just make the skin look and feel better, more natural, healthier!

Makeup is used all over the globe, so makeup alone is a big market. In 2005, mineral makeup sales increased by 60%, so that gives you an idea of what the future holds.

There is no doubt that mineral makeup is quite the rage, but are there actual benefits to the skin? In 2005, sales of mineral makeup increased by 60%, pretty impressive.

Here are some of the benefits. And, you'll have to decide for yourself!

First, mineral makeup is made from sterilized minerals which are ground into a very fine powder. It is then mixed with a variety of natural inorganic colorings to produce a variety of colors.

So, using a mineral makeup instead of a chemical-based makeup offers a number of benefits.

Mineral make-up is non-comedogenic, which means it does not block the pores of the skin. This allows the skin to breathe.

Mineral makeup has strong appeal for those women with sensitive skin. So for those women who suffer with rosacea, dryness, acne or other skin ailments, using mineral makeup offers a "skin-friendly" product which will not make their skin problems worse.

Most women report that Mineral makeup does not feel like a 'mask' on the skin, unlike heavier chemical-based makeup. Mineral makeup feels light, airy and almost weightless.

Some women report that wearing mineral makeup feels like wearing no makeup at all. Mineral makeup also leaves the skin with a very natural radiant glow, giving that flawless skin look.

For women with oily skin, mineral makeup can provide an excellent solution. Most chemical-based makeups contain oils, causing a lot of issues. Mineral makeup contains no oils are used in their manufacture.

Women primarily use makeup to improve their appearance and feel better. Mineral makeup does a great job of hiding the skin's wrinkles, crow's feet and fine lines because it reflects sunlight, giving a healthy look.

The blending that takes places when using the proper brushes creates that flawless finish.

The benefits of mineral makeup over traditional cosmetics are quite significant. Mineral makeup does not damage the skin with oils and chemical additives.

The skin's pores remain unblocked and clear. Most mineral makeups include beneficial ingredients to protect against the sun's harmful rays.

It's no wonder mineral makeup is flying off the shelves!
