Acne Prone Skin Can Benefit From Mineral Makeup

Acne prone skin is embarrassing. It can be helped, though, and even covered completely with mineral makeup...

I know from personal experience the pain associated with acne.

I have had it since I was a child and it really affects your self-esteem.

You get up in the morning and discover yet another obnoxious red bulb on your face, staring back at you as if to say, "Whatcha gonna do about it, punk?"

UG.

You try acne cream, acne ointment, acne serum, acne masks, etc.

Nothing seems to help!

The good news is, there is hope.

Acne can be reduced and completely covered up so nobody sees it. YIPPEE!

Even guys can use mineral makeup to cover up acne, because it looks SO natural.

And there is nothing in mineral makeup that will aggravate your acne worse, so you don't have to worry about nasty ingredients breaking you out more. Thank GOD! :)

Check out our Mineral Foundation page and our Concealer/Corrector page to learn tips and tricks on choosing and applying mineral makeup for your skin type.

Mineral foundation makeup is great for a smooth, all over coverage.

Mineral concealer is great for really severe acne, and/or to touch up specific acne spots. It usually gives thicker, fuller coverage than the foundation alone.

Experiment with both types to see which you prefer. I personally use both.

I like to start with mineral concealer just on the bad spots, then go all over with the mineral foundation.

And remember to do the basics for acne prone skin:

-eat healthy meals (checkout www.mercola.com for info). Another great site is: http://www.charlottehealthbuddies.com/index.html

-apply only safe, natural products to your skin

-cleanse well each morning and especially at night using an acne-safe cleanser. Many people break out simply from using an irritating soap. Switch to an all-natural soap that is NOT super-fatted. See our Cleansers and Makeup Remover page for specifics.

-Exfoliate regularly to remove dead cells that could clog your pores

-Don't pick at pimples or you'll make them worse.

-Apply only natural remedies to your pimples, not chemical-concoctions that usually will only make them worse. (any type of oil-soaking ingredient will work, or anti-bacterial type ingredient... think natural clays, essential oils like tea tree and peppermint, etc)

-Don't apply cocoa butter or almond oil to your face. Other ingredients can also be aggravating to acne, but these are two I ALWAYS avoid.

-Check ingredient lists for EVERY product you put on or near your face. Make sure the ingredients are natural, safe and healthy. Even if they are natural, research to make sure they will not break your skin out.

-The best moisturizer is a simple one... straight aloe vera is a great oil-free acne cream, or a straight oil is great too and is my personal pick. Many oil types are great for applying to acne prone skin as they will not aggravate the condition further: Coconut, Jojoba, Emu, Grapeseed, and other such oils will work.
