As environmental awareness increase and more and more people everyday is starting to become aware of what they use as makeup, homeopathic and herbal products in the field have all of a sudden gained a huge market. Every company these days guarantee you of a product that is "natural" and "organic" from them but in reality it is rarely the case. Most of the companies just want to profit by increasing their sales, therefore they use these terms as the sale boosters because they have realized that people have become biased towards these terms. In order to tell the lie from the truth, you need to know your stuff.

A mineral makeup is truly natural, made up of ground minerals, it is a powder which varies in density and color as per the materials used. Although a mineral makeup can be somewhat opaque, but you can rest easy as it allows the natural skin radiance to show through enough to prevent the "mask" look. The best part about mineral makeup is that it does not require any preservatives as bacteria can not survive within minerals. Completely free of any scent, the mineral makeup is perfect for oily skin, sensitive skin, rosacea, delicate skin and almost all sort f difficult skin conditions. It is because of its anti-inflammatory properties and soothing feeling that it gives to the skin when applied, that the mineral makeup is perfect for everybody.

Do not allow the make up to get into your skin pours by allowing it to be smoothed into your skin, instead of this "buffing" try to dust the makeup on. Use non-latex or a flocked sponge if you find the brush dusting is not suiting well to your skin. Mineral makeup can be applied either wet or dry, depending on what you are using and when.

To hide skin discoloration and lines, use Titanium Dioxide, the second most reflective natural object after diamond. The white mineral makeup is not only a sunscreen but also has anti-inflammatory properties. Be it UVA or UVB, Zinc Oxide is used by even sports men as a sunscreen around the world. Sericite can do well to cut the opacity of Titanium Dioxide when mixed with it. The mica granules also are good at oil-absorption. Avoid Cornstarch if you have pimple, acne and oily skin problems because it is something that is fed upon by bacteria. Instead, use Kaolin clay for applying on oily skin as it is a good natural oil absorbing agent. If you are looking for something to tint, Iron Oxides are great at that due to their opacity.

Avoid talcum powder and fillers as much as you can as these are known to cause respiratory problems. Coal tar products like FD&C Dyes are no good either for the skin. Other materials to avoid include Bismuth Oxychloride, Ferric Ferrocyanide and of course Carmine, which is actually crushed beetles! When out in the market to buy a product, keep these facts in mind and make sure you do not end up buying a product that has too much of the substances that are to be avoided.About the Author:
