Natural Mineral Makeup and Cosmetics: Natural Protection from the Sun

Did you know that natural mineral makeup and cosmetics can actually be good for your skin and help reduce premature aging? That's because one of the main ingredients is titanium dioxide, a mineral that provides broad-spectrum protection from the sun's UVA and UVB rays.

You already know that you should wear sunscreen every day to help prevent skin damage from the sun. If your moisturizer doesn't contain a broad-spectrum sunscreen, a great way to ensure your skin is protected is to use a powdered foundation with a mineral base. (Personally, I use a moisturizer with sunscreen AND natural mineral makeup for extra protection).

Benefits of Using All-Natural Mineral Makeup

There are several great benefits of using of 100% pure mineral-based powder foundation. First, all-natural foundations contain titanium dioxide, a sunscreen agent, typically with an SPF of 15 or more. While there are some drugstore brands that add a bunch of chemicals, a high-quality mineral foundation will not contain oils, perfumes, waxes or dyes or other ingredients that could irritate your skin or clog your pores.

Mineral Makeup Works on Dry or Mature Skin Too

Some people with dry or mature skin are skeptical of trying a natural mineral makeup because they think the powder will settle in their creases and make fine lines and wrinkles more obvious. The great news is that this doesn't happen! It also doesn't make your skin look shiny or greasy.

Easy Application

It is easy to control how much you use and and best of all, it looks natural. You don't have that "made-up" look that you can get with traditional foundations. Powdered mineral foundation is simple to apply. You just tap some into the lid of the container, twirl your brush in it and tap off the excess. You apply it with a twirling buffing motion. If you need more, apply a little more. It looks natural yet provides excellent coverage. You can get complete coverage for skin conditions like acne, rosacea and redness following treatments like chemical peels. I also like that you don't have messy fingers or bacteria-filled makeup sponges to deal with.

Look for All Natural, 100%-pure Mineral Makeup

Bare, natural foundation is all the rage now and many cosmetic companies are coming out with new brands. However, you need to carefully read the label. My philosophy is pure is better. The higher quality brands will only contain 100% pure crushed minerals (titanium dioxide, zinc and a little mica, which helps deflect light away from wrinkles and lines). They do not contain talc or chemical preservatives, fragrance or waxes and other chemicals. I've found that many drugstore brands these extra, unnecessary ingredients. My favorite brands are Bare Escentuals and Sheer Cover. They are 100% pure crushed minerals (titanium dioxide, zinc, and mica).

The above brands feature a full line of mineral makeup products including concealers, blush, eyeshadows, mascara and more.
