7 Benefits to using mineral makeup

We have reviewed and tested many mineral makeup products.  The clear winner was Jane Iredale. The Jane Iredale minerals were preferred by our staff and physicians, and here is why:

1. 1.) Four-in-One Product

The Jane Iredale bases, take the place of four traditional makeup products. Whether you choose the pressed or loose powder, they act as your foundation, concealer, finishing powder and sunscreen.

1. 2.) Sun Protection

Jane Iredale bases have earned the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation. The bases contain an SPF of 20, but provide a physical block to UVA/UVB rays. This means that the duration of the time that the product remains on, your skin is protected. When used daily, the makeup serves as an effective aid in the prevention of sun induced damage to the skin. This includes sunburn as well as premature aging.

1. 3.) Custom Finishes

High quality mineral makeup interacts with natural light, to give your skin a natural looking glow, and soft focus effect. You are able to customize the level of coverage- sheer, medium to full, simply by changing the tool used.

1. 4.) All-day Wear Makeup

Jane Iredale, is created using pure mineral pigment, there are no added dyes, perfumes or fillers, such as talc, that could irritate the skin, and leave your skin looking “chalky” with an unnatural appearance. The minerals bind together upon application, resisting running, creasing, and smearing. You will likely never have to reapply your foundation during the course of your day.

1. 5.) Non-comedogenic

Jane Iredale bases form a protective barrier on the skin that allows it to breathe and function normally. Laboratory tests confirm that the products are non-comedogenic, never blocking pores. Jane Iredale bases are a wonderful alternative to traditional foundations for those with breakout or acne prone skin.

1. 6.) Natural Preservatives

Jane Iredale makeup only uses a combination of natural preservatives in their makeup. The preservative of choice is radish root. The bases are also paraben free, and contain no added irritants. The bases are safe and effective to use, even on the most sensitive, or rosacea type skin.

1. 7.) Range of Shades
