We chose to go with Minerelle because it is a professional mineral makeup which is made of only pure minerals and is made in Australia. It is a concealer, foundation and finishing powder all in the one product and is very easy to apply. It also contains the natural mineral UV reflectors Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide which provide protection against UVA and UVB radiation from the sun. It is estimated that as much as 96% of the visible signs of ageing is the result of accumulated sun damage/exposure!
What is the Difference between Commercial and Professional Mineral makeup?
Many commercial brands are not pure mineral makeups, even though they are advertised as mineral makeup. They are known as commercial mineral makeups because they are bulked up with unnecessary fillers to make them cheaper. These fillers can block pores and irritate the skin.
Minerelle makeup is made from micronised minerals and pigments and is very different from the chemical laden traditional makeup. It is gentle enough to use on skin which is sensitive or which suffers from allergies, acne or even redness following cosmetic treatments.
Minerelle makeup is particularly good for people with acne and pimples, rosacea, sun damaged skin, pigmentation or allergies, while still looking very natural. It won't clog pores or harm your skin in any way and you can even sleep in it without harming your skin! Because Minerelle makeup sits on the surface of the skin, it does not fill up the pores with unnecessary fillers such as talc, oils, artifical preservatives (parabens) and fragrances. These ingredients can stretch the pores of the skin or cause irritations or allergies. Minerelle allows your skin to breathe and function normally. It is recommended by dermatologists and skin care professionals after laser, intense pulsed light and microdermabrasion treatments because it will not irritate newly treated skin.
Minerelle makeup colours are created so that they neutralise any redness caused by acne, pimples, rosacea, sun damage and redness following cosmetic treatments, evening out the skin tone and giving the face a healthy bloom. The light reflecting properties of minerals give a soft focus to fine lines. The makeup sits on the surface of the skin and does not fill up lines and wrinkles. It puts a protective filter on the skin like fish scales allowing the skin to breathe and function normally under the minerals. It feels completely weightless and it is easy to forget it is on the skin.
