BEAUTY KLINIC

Mineral makeup are beauty products, such as foundations, blushes, eye liners, lipsticks, mascara and other cosmetics which are made from 100% finely ground minerals from the Earth and does not contain the usual chemicals that can irritate or harm the skin. These mineral cosmetics are talc and dye free, and contain no fragrance, silicones, mica, rice powders, oils, wax and fillers. It is because of this that mineral makeup is gaining a widespread popularity from the makeup industry; especially with the fact that they have been shown to improve skin health and contains no ingredients that are harsh to the skin.

Some well-known makeup companies like Bare Essentials and Bare Minerals, which are part of a big company named Bare Escentuals, are very reputable in this industry and are getting considerable exposure with its advertisements and marketing activities through television and shopping networks. The cosmetics that they are carrying have been labeled as not having any kind of fillers or binders, and are essentially weightless. The cosmetics that are coming from these well-respected companies are known for their quality, and the idea that the products they are manufacturing continues to be safe and natural for the benefit of their customers.

Mineral cosmetics are compatible for a wide range of skin types; from dry to oily skin, flaky and hypersensitive skins. These cosmetic products are created from authentic Earth minerals like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, including heat-absorbing iron and go through sterilization and finely ground until powdery.

The constituents of mineral makeup give this cosmetic product very dependable protection from UV rays coming from the sun, as well as helping to calm and soothe the skin. It also aids in the prevention of skin irritation or inflammation, while giving a moisturizing sensation to keep your skin hydrated and protected from abuse of pollutants and chemicals in the atmosphere.

These makeup kits are terrific instruments to use if you want to hide the dark and red spots in your face, or even pimples or acne and scarring in your skin. They can also help conceal the discolorations in your skin, blemishes, and are great for balancing your skin tone. For those with oily skin, this one is a recommended makeup because the minerals in it can help in the collection of oil from your face. This is also good for those worrying about clogged skin pores since it does not contain any talc or oil.

Most skin experts accepts the knowledge that mineral makeup is generally safe for those recuperating from chemical peels, plastic surgery and other major skin treatments without the risk of getting an allergic reaction or inflammation. Although there is a fine line that separates the makeup as a healthy skin product and a beauty product safe enough even in sleep. This is why no makeup is a guaranteed “safe″ choice.

Dermatologists definitely prescribe the use of mineral cosmetics for individuals suffering from severe cases of pimples, eczema and other skin problems since the components of this makeup can be able to nourish and revitalize the skin with amazing results. They are also excellent for the skin types of adults because it is be able to hide to fine lines and wrinkles easily as it is good in light reflection.

One important point to remember is that mineral cosmetics are not produced in the same way; they can be divided into two general classes. The first one are those that contain no artificial ingredients, talc and other substances that can irritate skin, just like the previous products described previously.

The second type includes makeup that, although labeled as mineral makeup, still has traces and some amounts of talc, fillers, oil and other harsh ingredients that it is not supposed to have. So one must be careful when buying and using mineral cosmetics; read labels to make sure that you are getting makeup that is suitable to your skin type and do some research for a better understanding on how to properly use them.

Rosacea is a skin condition that is often assumed to be acne or a sign of alcoholism. Some physicans think it is a vascular problem at core. For people who have this skin condition, it is very challenging. It is a chronic medical problem with no cure at this time. The symptoms are real and can cause emotional struggles and can be quite physically painful as well. However, many times the symptoms of rosacea can be treated or minimized.

What are the symptoms of rosacea? If you experience any of the following signs, you should consult a dermatologist right away. 1) Red or inflamed areas on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or chin 2) Visible blood vessels in the facial area 3) Pimples or bumpy areas on the face (other than whiteheads or blackheads) 4) Cheeks look flushed, but are not warm to touch (although sometimes is warm to the touch) 5) Watery eyes or irritated eyes in conjunction with the symptoms mentioned above 6) Thickening of the skin (occasionally) 7) Swelling of facial areas Over time, the nose may appear extremely red and bulbous, especially in older men 9) Sometimes rosacea appears on the chest, scalp, ears, or neck

The cause of rosacea is not known. It seems to show up in both women and men sometime between 20 and 40 years of age. Women can sometimes become housebound if their rosacea isn’t controlled. They might become ashamed and embarrassed by the ruddy appearance of their facial skin. Men are sometimes emotionally affected as well.

Coping with rosacea can be a challenge. First and foremost, see a dermatologist. Rosacea can go into remission if you are careful to follow his recommendations. Along with medication, there are lifestyle changes that can be made to reduce that the flares of rosacea won’t occur as often. Limit your exposure to sun and wind, be vigilant about using a good quality sunscreen. Try to keep stress levels at a minimum by adopting a healthy lifestyle and spending quiet time each day. Alcohol should be avoided as it tends to trigger a flush. If you enjoy a bath, use warm water instead of really hot water. Exercise is not off limits, but try low-impact forms of exercise in place of high impact ones, or swimming would be great. Try to exercise in cooler weather. Hot weather will worsen rosacea symptoms. Some people who suffer from rosacea react to hot beverages or spicy food

There are home remedies that seem to have helped some rosacea sufferers. Creams containing green tea, Chrysanthellum Indicum, Niacinamide (a form of vitamin B3), or Azelaic Acid have been reported to help reduce the appearance of blood vessels and red capillaries when applied topically.

Some people who suffer from rosacea react to hot beverages or spicy food. If this is true for you, try warm beverages and not so spicy food.

If your doctor doesn’t prescribe special facial cleansers or products, I have found the following helpful. Use a very mild facial cleaner such as Oil of Olay sensitive skin facial cloths or Dove’s version. Be very gentle while washing your face, no heavy scrubbing. Do not use abrasive scrubs or astringent type products. I like using for moisture Neutrogena’s oil free moisturizer, and sometimes use pure emu oil as well. Many anti aging products tend to cause flare-ups. For cosmetics I like natural mineral makeup. There are many good brands out there. Try to get a green color corrector type product as a base under foundation, green counteracts the red of the skin and helps camouflage it so it looks more natural.

Men should use an electric razor instead of a razor blade to shave each morning in order to reduce irritation. Follow up with a gentle light non-scented moisturizer.

Rosacea can be a very difficult skin disorder to have, and is many times greatly misunderstood. With proper treatment and lifestyle adjustments, it can be managed well and symptoms minimized.

FOUNDATION: One of the most important things for a bride besides the dress, is looking great on her wedding day. A flawless complexion is very important in achieving this. Whether you are a make-up wearer or not, an even complexion is important. To bring into being this you can decide foundation, tinted moisturiser or just concealer. Foundation: - even if you don’t wear a foundation it’s a good idea to use a light weight one to even out your complexion, photos and videos tend to show every little thing. - don’t be tempted to apply a darker foundation to get a healthy glow it will look awful, opt for an all over false tan instead - keep it simple. If your complexion is fairly even, all you’ll require is a little concealer applied where needed ( spots, dark circles etc. ). Otherwise decide a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturiser.

How to decide the right one. Choosing the right foundation is one of the hardest things. Get it right and you’ll look fantastic, get it wrong and none of your make-up however good will look right. So before you get to the beauty counter, do the following that way you won’t be daunted by the huge amount of products to choose from. What type of foundation is best for your skin type? Dry skin would benefit using a moisturising foundation, one that is semi-matte, one that has a dewy finish up, light reflective one or even a cream to powder foundation. Avoid oil free and powder / foundation in one. Combination skin.This skin type is very lucky because they can use any type of foundation depending on the type of look they want. Problem or oily skin. A problem skin would benefit from an oil-free foundation, some cream to powder foundations (some of the new ones are oil-free) and powder / foundation in one. They should avoid any creamy, moisturising foundations or light reflective ones. Mature skin. A hydrating foundation or light reflecting one would be appropriate for a mature skin. A cream to powder could also be good. Look for ones with a semi-matte or dewy finish off that are not too heavy. Avoid anything too heavy, opaque or matte as this can be very ageing.

Different coverages and finishes Coverage: Sheer (hardly anything, Brilliant for young near appropriate skin), Light ( a bit more cover Brilliant for someone who just wants to even out their complexion, good for dry, combination or mature skin), Medium ( moderate cover for a slightly less than perfect complexion, good for all skin types), Opaque ( maximum cover for those skins which need it, i.e. scars, broken veins, birth marks, most suitable skin types apart from mature and very dry). Next decide the type of finish you would like: Shiny is perfect only on youthful Flawless skin. Dewy/Moist is suitable for all skin types other than problem/oily. Demi-matte this is a Great for all skin types. Matte is appropriate for problem/oily and combination skin.

At the Counter Having chosen the appropriate foundation, based on skin type, preferred finish up and coverage, you are now ready to discover the appropriate colour. To find the right colour, apply a stripe of foundation on your clean jaw line, not on the back of your hand. The colour is NEVER the same. Leave it to settle for a couple of minutes to see if the colour changes when the foundation reacts with your skins natural oils. Now check it in natural day light, this is the only true light. The foundation colour that you DON’T see is the right one. Don’t be tempted to alter your skin colour with foundation, it will just look false-mask like. You may find that you have to mix two foundations together to the perfect shade for you, don’t worry Make-up Artists do this all the time.

Tips for a flawless complexion. Foundation does not have to look or mask like if applied properly. Although all foundations are slightly different, the method of application is similar. Start with a cleansed face, allow your moisturiser to absorb. Then prime your skin (If needed) Now you are ready for foundation. Place a little foundation in the palm of your hand, this helps warm it to skin temperature, so it goes easily. Using either your fingers, a latex sponge (these feel damp even though they are dry) or brush apply foundation to the cheeks, nose and chin. Always apply in a downward motion starting in the centre and blending out toward the edges. You needn’t wear foundation all over your face like a mask, if the colour and texture are right then use it only where you need it (most don’t need any on the forehead).

Quick Tips: Choosing the right Foundation. a) First determine your skin type, the coverage you need and the finish (matte, dewy etc.) you’d like. b) Next choose your colour, test along your jaw line wait a couple minutes for it to react with your skins natural oils. Check in day light, the one you don’t see is the one for you. c) Using either a latex sponge, fingers or a foundation brush apply only to the areas that need it, since you’ve chosen the right one you don’t need to apply it all over like a mask. And there you have it a flawless complexion. Powder: - in photos too much shine looks sweaty, even if you want a dewy look keep your t-zone mat. Use either one of the many mattifying products patted on the t-zone over foundation or some translucent powder. To make your make-up last, you could try long lasting foundation or a make-up primer.

BLUSH Let’s start with the classic way. Apply your blush just slightly below your cheek bone, from the apple blending up ward towards the ear. This will give a slightly sculpted effect. Great if you want bring out your cheek bones, and/or thin your face. You can also apply blush to the apple of your cheeks. To find your apples simply smile, and put your blush on the ‘roundy’ bit. This gives a really fresh glow, which looks Great on almost everyone.

Tips If put on too much blush don’t worry, you don’t have to take it all off. If it’s a powder one just take a little yellow powder on a puff or brush and dust it over, this will soften it. If you’ve used a cream blush, get a bit of foundation or tinted moisturiser on a sponge and smooth it over the area. Now you can leave it or replace it. Add any blush a little at a time to build up the colour, that way you avoid making mistakes.

There are four different formulations of blusher. a) creams: a cream blush is just that, it has a soft creamy texture and is perfect applied to bare skin or one that only needs a tinted moisturiser or light weight foundation. It doesn’t blend well on a skin using a matte/powdery foundation. Cream blushers will give the skin a dewy, sheer fresh look. It is Great on dry, normal or combination skins. And should be avoided by oily or blemished skins. The appropriate way to apply a cream is either with your fingers or a dry latex sponge. Dot the blush on the apple of your cheeks and blend along the cheek bone. b) cream to powders: these are the newest formulations of blush. They combine the sheerness of a cream with long lasting wear of a powder. This formulation seems to be the favourite with most make-up artists at the moment. If gives a soft slightly sheer semi-matte look, which is very wearable. It is easy to apply using either fingers, sponge or even blusher brush. Going on anything from bare skin to one requiring foundation and powder. It is fab for all skin types. c) powders: in the past these have been the most popular. They can offer a more matte finish, although some may contain shimmer. They tend to be longer lasting. Powder blush is suitable for most skin types, especially oily skins. Though really dry/flaky skins should avoid powder blush as it can sit on the surface and make the skin look parched. Some find powders easier to apply and blend. They should always be applied to a matte or semi-matte skin using a proper blusher brush otherwise it will look blotchy. d) gels/stains: these are sheer oil free formulations with a high concentration of pigment. They give a sheer but intense colour with a modern feel. They are best suited to an oily or combination skin. They tend to be the more difficult of the blushers to apply, because you have to work quickly and precisely using your fingers or sponge otherwise they can look very patchy. Apply to bare skin or one needing a tinted moisturiser / light weight foundation. Do not use over powder or a matte foundation. When applying a powder blush it is very important that you use the right size brush, otherwise your blush will look patchy and uneven. Never use those little ones that come with the blush. - When you are selecting the colour remember it is perfect to stick to pinky-browns, soft apricot/peach or soft red-browns depending on your skin tone if you want a natural look. For a long lasting effect: Try layering, that is apply a cream or cream to powder blush initially followed by a matching powder.
