Make-up is a large part of every woman’s daily routine as it helps accentuate our natural beauty and brings out that extra brillance. However, most of the make-up in the market can create more break-outs and mask your natural skin and pores creating more damage. Make-up should enhance your beauty and be a great extension of skin care.
That is why our Medical Director, Dr. Bruce E. Katz, only endorses one natural mineral make-up that can be used for a variety of skin types. It’s the Jane Iredale skin care make up. The 2 most important parts of your make-up routine is your foundation and your concealer.
Jane Iredale’s Mineral Foundations provide 4 important functions in one; foundation, concealer, suncreen and active skin care benefits. These products are non-irritating and won’t block your pores. It’s the best way to get full coverage without masking your face and creating further irritation. They are also light enough for sensitive skin and don’t have you feeling too over-done.
The 5 great foundations are:
1. Amazing Base Loose Mineral Powder
2. PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation
3. Liquid Minerals Foundation
4. Dream Tint – Tinted Moisturizer
5. Glow Time Full Converage Mineral BB Cream
Powder foundations have an SPF 20 and are recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as effective UV Sunscreens. They also provide full coverage and have skin calming benefits to help your skin after breakouts.
