Is Mineral Make-Up really healthy for your skin?

If you are like me before I discovered L'Bri, you are frustrated by all the false claims made by clever marketing campaigns. They tell you that their cosmetics are "healthy" and "natural" and non-irritating to your skin. They will actually "heal" your skin and repair skin conditions like Acne and Rosacea. In reality, when you buy these "healthy" products and begin using them, you are quickly brought back to the real world: If it seems to good to be true, it usually is!

I am speaking largely about the trend these days towards Mineral Make-Up. Well known stars like LeezaGibbons, Leann Rimes, and Alyssa Milano send their praises on Infomercials. The before and after pictures are amazing and very convincing! But the makers of mineral make-up have a dirty little secret they are not sharing with you: bismuth oxycholoride. "Bismuth oxychloride is considered a skin irritant and can cause itching and rashes and in large amounts it can cause cystic acne as well – it's one of the ingredients you should try to avoid if you have acne or Rosacea or sensitive skin," - http://www.webmd.com/skin-beauty/features/the-lowdown-on-mineral-makeup?page=3.

So what is a girl to do? Become a conscientious label reader, and do your homework before you buy. Also check out this site http://safecosmetics.org. If the maker of the cosmetics you are going to use have not signed this compact - run the other direction!!! The FDA is not looking out for us ladies so we have to be our own advocates. Be a smart consumer.

L'Bri Pure n' Natural is not only a signer of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics, but the Foundations and Loose Powder are an extension of our skin care. Why is this? Because Aloe Vera is the FIRST ingredient in both of these products. The Foundation and Loose Powder actually live up to the claims that the Mineral Make-Up Companies have made. They are truly healthy for your skin, and won't irritate your sensitive skin, Rosacea, or cause cystic acne. Now I know you won't get fancy brushes or be able to "swirl, tap and buff" your way to healthy skin, but the pay off is that you aren't going to age prematurely, cause wrinkles, and put cosmetics on your skin that will do more harm than good.

I have found great results with L'Bri make-up when I couldn't use anything else on the market, and I know you will too!
