Mineral Makeup, The Healthy Way To Look Beautiful

As you go through the pages of a glossy magazine for women, have you noticed the natural and flawless look of the models in it?
They seem not to be wearing any makeup at all. There is also a sense of inner glow on their faces. Their secret is mineral makeup. This is the trend in cosmetics, nowadays. Made from minerals and other natural ingredients, these are healthy to use and are kind to the skin. They can also be used by women who are sensitive to cosmetics. If women are concerned about their bodies, they feel the same way when it comes to their skin.

First of all, there is no control over the quantity or quality of chemicals used in making ordinary or conventional makeup. Most of these chemicals are harmful to those who use this since the skin absorbs the toxins contained in them. Among these harmful chemicals, the most commonly used are: Mercury, Parabens and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
Mercury is said to be used in some popular brands of lipstick. This can cause skin allergies and irritation. When accumulated in the body, it can eventually lead to a degenerative disease. Parabens are often used in some moisturizers and mineral primers.
They are carcinogenic. When taken in by the body in increased levels, it can lead to skin cancer. On the other hand, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is often used in making soaps and shampoos. It may cause irritation to the skin and hair.
It is also best to read the label of the cosmetics you buy. There are some companies that produce conventional cosmetics and have also come up with their own mineral makeup, but these contain toxic chemicals.
The next reason to choose mineral makeup is that it provides protection against environmental stress and pollutants. It also protects the skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Wearing this kind of makeup not only makes you look beautiful, it also protects you from potential sun damage or even skin cancer.
Lastly, mineral makeup is not only good for the skin; it is also good for the environment. Since it is not made up of chemicals, there is no hazardous waste involved in its production and disposal.
Now, we can look beautiful the healthy way.  Just the same, we can also help in saving mother earth.
