Traditional Makeup Vs Mineral Makeup

Mineral make-up on the other hand, usually only contains true minerals that will sit on the surface of the skin rather than being absorbed into the skin. This means that mineral make-up generally doesn’t clog the pores (non-comedogenic) and allows your skin to “breathe” naturally. Mineral make-up is less likely to aggravate any skin conditions and in most cases actually works to calm or treat these ailments.

Mineral makeup in its truest form, is a powder and all other variations mean that fine mineral micro-particles are pulverised and added to products ranging from foundations to nail polish. If you have any skin concerns that seem to persist consider switching to mineral make-up to identify if the traditional version is the cause of the flare-up.
