Ingestion of antioxidant vitamins and minerals from supplements has been shown to protect skin cells from free-radical damage induced by overexposure to ultraviolet light and various harmful environmental chemicals.

A properly designed high-potency multivitamin and mineral that is fortified with optimal levels of specific antioxidant vitamins and minerals can help protect the skin from free-radical damage.

Calcium is a very important mineral for women. It contributes to the health of our bones, teeth, hormonal balance and our skin. Foods rich in calcium are milk and milk products, including cheese, broccoli, soy products, and sardines

Potassium. helps the skin stay healthy and to regenerate new cells. It can found in potatoes, bananas, whole grains and green leave.

Iron Builds resistance to stress and disease. Essential for the formation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to every cell of the body.

Selenium has a close metabolic intyerrelationship with vitamin E; an antioxidant. Prevents the damage to hemoglobins. Protects from toxic damage by mercury poisoning.

Mineral makeup actually improves the texture of the skin. Over time, the skin gets healthier and looks younger and the pores become smaller. With other chemical based cosmetics, the pores can be hampered by the use of some chemicals. When these products are combined with an unhealthy diet, a stress riddled lifestyle, we find that our skin is a screening agent and all the woes and the treatment that we subject our skin to is revealed on the skin surface. There are uneven tones, breakouts and sometimes adult acne can be the results.

Beauty & Minerals carries the best mineral makeup brands in the market – carrying the entire line of Monave and Valerie Beauty, and select products from Larenim, Jane Iredale, Pure Luxe, and Lumiere Mineral Cosmetics. Our list is growing, so watch out!

Mineral makeup is designed from all naturally occurring products. It is often recommended by dermatologists to women with sensitive skin, rosacea, post operative, laser and other procedures because of its intrinsic skin soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a powder makeup of finely milled minerals. It can provide very sheer or very opaque coverage, depending on the formulation and application.

Another benefit from mineral makeup is that certain minerals combine to create a safe sunscreen. This is built right into the makeup itself, so you can put it on and wear it outside as a means of protecting your skin from harmful ultra violet light.

Mineral Makeup is an all natural SPF protecting your skin against the harmful rays of the sun. An effective skin healing agent, mineral makeup is great for skin problems such as rosacea, acne and sensitive skin. Our makeup has virtually no allergy risk; it will not clog pores, or irritate sensitive skin. It is powerful enough to fight the early signs of aging while keeping your skin looking youthful, radiant and naturally beautiful.

Using a fluffy face brush is the other popular way to apply mineral makeup. Better quality makeup is more pigmented, so using a kabuki is out of the question for most women. But a nice fluffy brush is just the ticket since a little makeup goes a long way. Whether you choose synthetic or animal hair brushes is up to you. Both can be equally good, depending on the quality. The same basic rules apply as with the kabuki- swirl your brush in the makeup, tap off the excess and the brush in a downward motion over your face. No need to buff. If you'd like more coverage, just repeat the steps again.
