Most woman won’t leave the house without their makeup on. It takes years off our age, evening out skin tone and smoothing out texture. Our desire to hide blemishes and scars, reducing redness as well as covering pigmentation spots, is a driving force for having a full face every day. Makeup is used by so many, from young to old, so here is the question: Does the quality and type of makeup really make that much of a difference to your skin? Absolutely! There is makeup that is good for the skin, and some that is less so. Nevertheless, here are five reasons why you should invest in medical-grade cosmetics.
Natural Ingredients Instead Of Harmful Additives
Pressed powders that are available in Medical Cosmetic Clinics are usually full coverage foundations or pressed powders that are mineral-based. They don’t contain any extra additives that are harmful to your skin, such as perfumes, parabens, chemicals, or dyes found in drugstore makeup. Perfumes and dyes have been linked to allergic reactions, causing redness and skin irritation. Chemicals can cause those who are prone to acne a nasty breakout, resulting in scarring and pigmentation. Parabens that are added to extend shelf life are known to cause skin cancer.
Reduce (Un)Noticeable Skin Irritations
Mineral pigments are naturally anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, which reduces acne breakouts and skin irritations, keeping the skin clean throughout the day. If you have never used mineral makeup before, you might think that your skin type is oily, or that it’s always red. This could actually be false and simply a result of the makeup you are currently using.
Creates A Barrier to Daily Pollutants
Minerals protect the skin from daily pollutants by forming a barrier on the skin. Antioxidants, peptides and vitamins are added to nourish and repair the skin. Remember the blog 5 Reasons To Wash Your Makeup Off Every Night? We spoke about how daily pollutants get into your pores, and if they’re not cleansed, they can result in breakouts! Mineral makeup helps fight this.
Light & Natural Sun Protection
Medical-grade makeup offers built-in physical SPF protection from zinc and titanium. This eliminates the need for multiple product applications and saves you from the greasy feeling that drug store sunscreens often leave behind. Mineral makeup feels light on the skin, and you hit two birds with one stone – sun protection and natural (yet complete) coverage.
Let Your Skin Breathe
Mineral-pressed powders and foundations are all breathable, lightweight, and formulated to reflect light, making imperfections disappear without giving you a heavy or caked-on look. They are easy to apply and reapply as needed!
