Fast Facts: Mineral Make up

Within the last few years mineral make up has become increasingly popular and with good reason. Mineral make up offers many benefits to the wearer:

1) It is light-weight and breathable. You can even sleep in it! (Although at Skindulgence we believe in morning and night skincare... But in emergency cases we condone it!)

2) Minerals reflect light which helps to disguise fine lines and wrinkles. Old-fashioned liquid foundation topped with powder has a tendency to sink into the skin's creases making wrinkles more apparent.

3) It leaves your skin with a natural, radiant glow.

4) It is long-lasting and water-resistant so touch ups aren't necessary.

5) It sits on the skin instead of being absorbed. Traditional liquid foundation sinks into the skin which can lead to acne, black heads and uneven complexion.

6) Unlike heavy liquid foundations, mineral makeup doesn't feel like a mask. Since mineral make up consists of crushed minerals and natural inorganic colorings there are no added oils. This means that mineral make up is ideal for people with sensitive, oily or acne-prone skin.

If you've suffered bad reactions to traditional make up then it's time you took a look into mineral make up. It works wonders for all skin types!
