Mineral makeuphas taken the cosmetics industry by storm in the last few years and it’s no wonder- there are so many benefits to these products that we, at Skin Care by Alana, believe that mineral makeup is a “win-win for your skin”! Here’s why…

• Mineral makeup, as its name implies, is made with sterilized crushed up minerals, not chemicals.
• The skin is able to “breathe” using mineral makeup because it does not clog pores- it is non-comedogenic.
• It is non-irritating and generally safe for sensitive skin. Bacteria and other organisms cannot live in mineral makeup because it is made of inorganic ingredients (unlike traditional makeup). This eliminates the potential for makeup-induced skin infections!
• No preservatives are added (since it’s inorganic) so it will not “spoil” like most other makeup.
• Mineral makeup feels light and transparent on the skin; it does not have the cake-like or mask-like thickness of many foundations.
• High quality mineral makeup often contains zinc oxide or sunscreens as well as anti-inflammatory ingredients.
• Mineral makeup is made without any oils and can be an excellent remedy to problem oily skin.
• Mineral makeup tends to reflect light making it great at concealing crow’s feet, wrinkles and other skin imperfections!
• Women who wear mineral makeup say it feels as if they aren’t wearing any makeup at all.
• It imparts a beautiful healthy-glowing sheen to the complexion.
• It is perfectly fine to sleep with it on- no need to wash it off unlike chemical makeup. If you have an early morning you can apply it the night before!

With all of these amazing qualities there must be a down side to mineral makeup, right? Wrong! As far as we can tell it is all positive- so our advice is for you to pick out one of these fantastic products today- we are sure you will love it!
