It is hard to look your best with sensitive skin, and for such people any kind of makeup is risky because it can lead to weeks of breakouts or unbalanced skin. The good news is that there are products coming onto the market that won’t disturb your delicate skin but will improve your appearance.
Formulated with natural ingredients such as botanicals, natural plant oils and ground minerals, these new products, called liquid mineral makeup products, are non-allergenic and PH neutral. Unlike the harsh chemicals in other makeups, makeup made from natural ingredients is safer, healthier, and just as beautiful.
The highly concentrated and non allergen containing liquid mineral makeups that are formulated for the mass market can also be beneficial for those that have sensitive skin. Because they are concentrated, they can be used at a very light level of application, which decreases chances of a skin reaction. This light application also has the benefit of feeling so soft and light, it almost feels like you aren’t using any makeup.
To apply liquid mineral makeup, follow our simple mineral makeup tips. First, cleanse your face properly using a non-comedogenic cleanser. Next, lightly apply a small amount of mineral foundation for sensitive skin. It doesn’t take much! Make sure you give your foundation a few moments to dry properly before moving on to the next step (extra moisture trapped near the skin can cause irritation).
Once the foundation has completely dried, you can apply blush, eye shadow and the other makeup products that are part of your daily regimen. Make sure, though, to allow some additional drying time, especially if you are applying multiple coats. You should also try to apply as little of the products as possible to ensure the best results.
Your new liquid mineral makeup will last as long as you do, so forget about those irritating touch-ups through the day. However, if your skin is severely sensitive, it might help to remove your makeup once during the day, cleanse your skin, and then reapply a light coat of your makeup. Whatever you do, a nighttime cold cream removal and thorough cleansing are indispensable. Applying a non-comedogenic moisturizer on your sensitive skin before bed will also help.
