Loose is comprised of naturally occurring minerals that have been used for cosmetic purposes for thousands of years. These minerals are mined from around the world, purified, and crushed into fine powders.

Cosmetic companies use these same minerals to add color, texture and luster to everything from eye shadow and lipstick to hair color. They’re even in your tube of toothpaste! Many of these minerals have a special luster that, when applied to the skin, give the face a lovely glow, lending a healthy, youthful appearance to blemished or aged skin.

Loose cosmetics are catching on in popularity for a very good reason. It is the most natural available on the market. Just think about how your face feels when you apply a liquid foundation.

In order to create a liquid foundation, manufacturers add water, oil, waxes, petrochemicals, synthetic humectants, gums, and fillers (like talc) to the colorants. They also add dyes and preservatives. Our loose, dry minerals don’t require preservatives, and all of those other irritating ingredients are completely unnecessary. The natural pigments blend easily on the skin and provide superior coverage due to the lack of cheap fillers.

Large cosmetics companies are corporations that are designed to generate profit. Your skins health is not their concern. Natural minerals cost much more than cheap synthetic fillers and dyes. The bottom line of these corporations is profit. Natural loose powder provides: quality, purity, and performance. They provide natural cosmetic products that will enable women to achieve the look that they want without chemicals.

If you have sensitive skin, and have had bad experiences with cosmetics in the past, then natural is for you. While even a good quality natural cosmetic does not carry a guarantee, the likelihood of a reaction is rare. The most irritating ingredients in cosmetics are talc, dye, and perfume. All natural, loose powder cosmetics are free of all of these ingredients.

Mineral foundation has the great coverage. Using loose powder foundation will transform your life. Instead of worrying about unattractive blemishes or running to the mirror every few hours to do touch ups, with just a quick brush of the powder, your face will appear completely unblemished, from morning until night.

Even more importantly, the health and condition of your skin will actually improve with regular use of our foundation. The minerals not only soothe inflamed skin, but have superior oil control. Loose powder foundation is virtually waterproof and wearproof.

One of the main ingredients in loose powder foundation is micronized Titanium Dioxide. This naturally occurring effectively blocks both UVA and UVB rays, without an irritating chemical sunscreen. Loose powder products have a very high SPF and we recommend wearing a sunscreen of some form on your face every day. Melanoma is on the rise and can be fatal. Also, if you notice tiny lines on your face, these symptoms of aging come primarily from sun-damage, not from dryness.

Compare the cost of one multi-purpose loose powder to even a cheap eye shadow, and the value will immediately be apparent. Loose powders can be used as eye shadow, eyeliner, lip gloss, blush and nail polish. If you use them every day, they will last you at least a year. Just one eye shadow at a department store costs three times more than loose powder. Loose powder foundation lasts months and acts as concealer, powder, and sunscreen, all in one. Compare the cost to similar lines and you will notice a savings of almost 50%.

How to Avoid the 4 Most Common Problems with Applying Mineral Make-Up

April 7th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

Is make-up causing your more cosmetic problems that it seems to be solving? Well, relax. In just four easy steps, you can overcome the most common complaints associated with applying make-up including itchiness, dryness, color imperfections and messiness.

1. Ending the itchiness

Itchiness and dryness connected with make-up must be tackled as a relational problem because the dryness could provoke the itchiness. So, let’s rule out possible causes of itchiness first by ensuing you have no to the make-up. This requires a simple forearm patch test.

To perform the test, cleanse a roughly one-square inch area on your forearm. Let area dry. Then apply a light layer of make-up to the skin. Leave the cosmetic on for 24 hours, then rinse it off. If no rash, redness or itching occurs, you should not need to worry about having to make-up. If you do have allergy symptoms, stop using the make-up.

Another indirect source of arising from make-up could be the brush applicator. People develop to cat hair. Similarly, you could develop an allergy horse hair, which is sometimes used in cosmetics brushes. Make sure you are not allergic to your brushes.

2. Dryness

Mineral make-up can be great for and large pores because of the drying effect of its common ingredients like and zinc oxide. However, this trait my not prove ideal for dry skin. To help minimize moisture loss, apply a rich moisturizer, or nighttime face cream before dusting on the make-up.

Moreover, make-up exhibits an exfoliating effect on the skin which is superb for , but potentially excessive for dry skin. To compensate for the extra exfoliation that make-up delivers, you can reduce your usage of other exfoliating products like astringents or at-home microdermabrasion treatments.

3. Color

The titanium oxide inside make-up reflects and diffuses light, which helps camouflage skin blemishes like age spots and . Because the look of make-up is so readily influenced by light, you need to apply this product in full spectrum light to view how your selected make-up shade truly looks on your skin.

For instance, once you apply your make-up in the bathroom, go outside into the sunlight and view how your make-up looks in full spectrum daylight.

The results may scare you. You may look two shades lighter or darker than you did in the bathroom. Now that you know how the make-up appears in full spectrum light, you can adjust your cosmetic shade as needed.

4. The mess

How can getting pretty create such a mess? Mineral make-up by nature is dusty and so to keep your cosmetic application as tidy as possible, you have to practice dust control. Here’s how:

a. Set the foundation jar on a paper towel.

b. The foundation jar should contain a middle, porous lid that sifts the foundation for a more sheer application. As you shake the foundation jar to sift the make-up, your create dust. To avoid a sifting dust cloud upon opening the jar, after your shake the closed foundation jar, let the jar set for 10 seconds so that the make-up dust can settle and not fly all over your countertop.

c. Next, to avoid creating a mess on your face, lightly dip the foundation brush into the sifted foundation. You don’t want a thick layer on the brush because this creates dust. Furthermore, when trying to correctly apply a foundation, it is always easier to apply more foundation than it is to remove excess foundation.

Now, perhaps you will have four less problems when applying make-up. Enjoy.

The Biggest Secret to Youthful Skin

November 26th, 2008 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Health Care

Would you like to know the biggest secret to a wrinkle free skin?

Here it is!

STAY OUT OF THE SUN!! I bet that’s not what you wanted to hear. But there it is. The biggest cause of wrinkles and the signs of aging is sun damage.

Over a hundred years ago the sign of affluence among ladies of means was a lily white skin. When they ventured out of doors they wore long sleeved dresses, hats and parasols. Quite antiquated by today’s fashions of sun bronzed goddesses in miniscule bikinis on the beach for hours and later lobstered and wincing in pain at the slightest touch.

But maybe those antiquated ladies of past centuries knew a thing or two about beauty after all. In our beautiful country with inviting beaches and outdoor lifestyle it is very difficult to avoid the sun. But we can take measures to minimize its damaging affects.

We all know the slogan in Australia: Slip, Slop, Slap. If you want good skin, take it to heart. Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen. Look for ones that say they protect from UVA and UVB rays. Look for ones that have zinc oxide and/or as these are the physical sunblocks that stops the sun’s rays from penetrating the skin and causing damage. What do UVA and UVB rays do?

UVA stands for Aging - as these rays penetrate the skin deeply and cause long term damage, resulting in wrinkles.

UVB stands for Burn - as these rays penetrate the top layers of the skin causing redness, inflammation and a lot of pain.

Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outdoors and reapply after a couple of hours if you must remain in the sun, but the better option is to go indoors. Always go for an SPF 30 but be aware that in this case the numbers don’t add up. You can’t use a moisturizer with an SPF 15 and a foundation with an SPF 15 to get your SPF30 .

Whichever product has the highest SPF rating that is the level of protection your skin is getting. Also don’t forget your parasol. They might just come back into fashion.
