Dr. Schlessinger says that it comes
down to personal preference,
but his patients and LovelySkin
customers tend to prefer
mineral-based makeup.
With hundreds of options, what is
the best makeup?

“Mineral cosmetics tend to cause fewer
problems with acne and it goes on with
a nice finish,” says Dr. Schlessinger.
“Natural mineral makeup is a fast-
growing segment of makeup, as it is
usually made from natural ingredients
and works on all skin types.”
Mineral makeup is one good option

The minerals are usually finely
milled to provide a uniform
coverage over your skin. Many
mineral cosmetics also contain
titanium dioxide and zinc oxide,
two physical sun blocks to
protect your skin from
environmental damage.
The ingredients in mineral cosmetics
are just that – minerals.

Most mineral makeup is also
natural mineral makeup, meaning
it is free of preservatives,
parabens, artificial dyes and
fragrances. Because of these key
properties, mineral cosmetics are
less likely to irritate sensitive skin.
Often with mineral cosmetics, it’s not
what’s included, but what’s left out.

Mineral makeup can be applied over skin
conditions such as acne, rosacea, psoriasis
and more without causing irritation or
harmful side effects. Natural mineral makeup
is also a great alternative to traditional
makeup for those who are environmentally
conscience, as it contains no harmful
chemicals that can damage the environment.
Natural mineral makeup is the best mineral
makeup for extremely sensitive skin.

One of Dr. Schlessinger’s favorite products for
acne-prone skin is Colorescience Let Me Be
Clear. This mineral makeup is specially
formulated with salicylic acid to both cover
and treat acne-prone skin without clogging
pores or causing irritation, as many traditional
makeups can do. This makeup reduces
redness and controls oil while evening skin
tone, all with the use of minerals.
There are also options for those with
acne-prone skin.

Dr. Schlessinger recommends using Klix
brushes to apply your mineral-based
makeup. Makeup brushes can often
become contaminated with bacteria,
which can cause acne breakouts. Klix
brush heads are disposable, helping keep
your skin healthy and fresh.
A good brush is also critical to the well-
being of your skin.

Since its beginnings, mineral makeup has
spread to include eyeshadows, primers,
concealers, lipsticks, blushes and more. You
can find mineral alternatives to all traditional
makeup products. The best mineral makeup
protects your skin while it covers. Some of
Dr. Schlessinger’s favorite mineral makeup
brands include Colorescience, jane iredale,
and glo minerals.
Mineral makeup began as a loose
mineral foundation.

Colorescience offers multi-use mineral makeup that
protects your skin from UV radiation with their
Sunforgettable line. UV rays can cause skin burns,
hyperpigmentation, premature aging and skin cancer. If
your mineral makeup is also enriched with broad
spectrum sunscreen minerals, you’ll get great coverage
and great protection. Dr. Schlessinger notes that
although the SPF may not be mentioned on the label,
you can still get great protection from the sun with
Sunforgettable products from Colorescience.
There are also mineral makeups that protect
against the sun.

Dr. Schlessinger notes that everyone
will have a different opinion on the
best makeup. “It will always come
down to someone’s personal
preference,” Dr. Schlessinger says,
“but in my opinion, mineral makeup
is the best option.”
In the end, however, it comes down to
what you prefer to use.
