Is Wearing Mineral Makeup Actually Better
Than Wearing No Makeup At All?
In many ways, this claim is very true. Mineral makeup has a natural SPF of 15, affording serious sun protection to the wearer. Of course, you could just wear sunscreen, but you may end up with greasy or irritated skin as a result. Furthermore, zinc and titanium oxide are both known anti-inflammatory agents and can actually sooth irritated skin while you wear them. If you avoid makeup products because of sensitive skin, then wearing mineral makeup probably is a far superior option to wearing nothing at all since you could be protecting and healing instead of just maintaining the status quo.
Mineral makeup is also very finely ground – sometimes until the minerals are actually nanoparticles – in order to provide a smooth, velvety and seamless appearance. Not only can it significantly reduce the appearance of all age signs, but it can even smooth young and unblemished skin to a literally flawless finish. Even if you do not need makeup, mineral makeup is a great way to polish your appearance and protect your skin from damage.
