Acne and Mineral Makeup

Mineral makeup will not clog your pores, causing acne

If you have acne-prone skin, you may cringe at the thought of social situations that put you in close contact with people. Acne break outs can be embarrassing and your natural reaction might be to try concealing your blemishes with thick creams or foundations. In fact, this is probably the worst thing you could do. Most brand-name cosmetics contain preservatives, chemicals and oils that will clog your pores and lead to even worse acne break outs. The most highly recommended solution for acne-prone skin is mineral makeup.

Mineral makeup is composed of pure, natural minerals that are very finely milled and purified before mixing. Mineral makeup is easy to blend into your skin because of the extremely small size of the mineral granules. Blending produces a smooth, flawless look for your skin and provides an excellent disguise for acne blemishes.

Acne and Mineral Makeup: Causes of Acne-Prone Skin

There are several reasons why you might be suffering from acne-prone skin. Some of the reasons are directly tied to skin care products and lifestyle. Washing your face too often can irritate your skin and actually make acne worse. The use of greasy skin care products or oily cosmetics also have a negative effect on your blemishes. It’s possible that your acne could be a side effect of medication–check with your doctor. Other root causes of acne must often be accepted. Genetics play a role in determining whether your skin is acne-prone or not. During adolescence, the levels of certain hormones become elevated, increasing oil production and leading to acne break outs.

Acne and Mineral Makeup: How Mineral Makeup Helps

The most basic cause of acne is clogged pores. Mineral makeup is the better choice for reducing acne blemishes because it is non-comedogenic. Mineral makeup does not block the pores of your skin pores. By leaving your pores open, mineral makeup allows your skin to breathe naturally and reduces acne blemishes.

One bonus feature of mineral makeup is that is serves as a natural sun block. Two common ingredients in mineral makeup, titanium dioxide and zincĀ  oxide, provide broad-spectrum sun protection.
