Benefits of 100% Natural Mineral Cosmetics by:Jennifer Bailey
You have seen it all over television, painted across the pages of your favorite magazines
, and talked about in numerous newspaper articles. You have likely seen billboards while you are driving touting the amazing capabilities of the new lines of one hundred percent natural mineral cosmetics. Mineral cosmetics are rapidly gaining popularity amongst women of all ages, but many wonder what about this line of cosmetics makes it so fabulous. In 2005, mineral cosmetics saw an astonishing sixty percent increase in sales from the previous year. One cannot help but inquire as to why these cosmetics are sweeping the nation.
Mineral cosmetics are created from real minerals taken directly from the earth. These minerals are then strategically crushed into a fine powder and mixed with natural inorganic colors to produce a wide color palette of makeup tones and shades. No matter what skin tone you have, from porcelain to a dark undertone and every shade in between, there is a mineral cosmetic that can perfectly match your skin.
There are multiple benefits of using one hundred percent natural mineral cosmetics. Natural mineral cosmetics will not clog the pores of your skin due to the fact that mineral make up allows the skin to breathe through the coat of makeup. This line of cosmetics is the perfect solution for the woman who suffers from sensitive skin or skin that easily clogs. Women who endure troublesome acne, Rosacea, dry skin, or other skin conditions, find that using mineral cosmetics does not worsen their skin issues.
Unlike most other cosmetic products on the market today, the main ingredients in mineral cosmetics are inorganic. This simply means that there are no bacteria or microbes living in the product, which can sometimes react, infect, and affect the skin it is applied to. Also, the inclusion of inorganic ingredients in the cosmetics usually means that the company producing the makeup does not need to use preservatives to ensure that their cosmetics have a longer shelf life.
Another benefit of one hundred percent natural mineral cosmetics is that they are extremely light and airy when applied. When wearing them, they do not feel like you are wearing a mask or thick layer of make-up as you sometimes feel when using other non-mineral make up products. Mineral make up has a weightless feeling that many women agree feels like they are not wearing any make up at all.
Women who suffer from oily skin also find mineral make up to be a perfect solution for their every day skin issues. Most standard cosmetics are made with oil, which can exacerbate the oily skin problem by clogging the pores with an even oilier product, and, in turn, not allowing the skin to breathe and dry out. Mineral cosmetics contain no oils and are also not manufactured with any, making it perfect solution for women problematic oily skin.
Mineral make up allows your skin's natural tones and glows to shine through while providing overall coverage and a flawlessly even finish. Mineral make up allows your natural glow to stand out by providing a look of natural beauty with the confidence of coverage and an even skin tone.
Natural mineral cosmetics are made with a variety of ingredients that are designed to help your skin to be continuously radiant. The inclusion of UVA and UVB sun ray protection will protect your skin on even the brightest of summer days. Many mineral cosmetic lines will also include magnesium, zinc and other anti-inflammatory ingredients.
Natural mineral cosmetics can impressively improve the overall appearance of your skin, even though it is usually applied as a light coating. Mineral make up can help to hide unsightly flaws such as crow's feet and fine lines while reducing the appearance of wrinkles as it reflects light off from the minerals in the product. This helps to create an overall healthy and natural look.
Mineral make up is surprisingly long lasting and only requires one application. Unlike with many other foundations, with mineral cosmetics you do not have to keep touching it up multiple times throughout the day and evening. Some mineral make up lines even boasts that you can apply foundation on at night, sleep with it, and still have a perfect looking skin tone in the morning.
Natural mineral cosmetics allow your skin tone to shine through. Therefore, there is no need for you to find an exact match to your skin tone and coloring.

Mineral cosmetics can spread out thinly and match your skin's tone, creating that natural, 'not wearing any make up at all' look. Mineral cosmetics can do this by incorporating natural light reflection.
Overall, the benefits of using one hundred percent natural mineral cosmetics are quite significant. The light, airy feeling that provides an overall coverage, and reduction in the appearance of skin problems and wrinkles, paired with the fact that it is guaranteed to last all day without a touch up or reapplication, makes mineral make up the top choice for women of all ages.
