The attention focused recently on mineral makeup might have you wondering “Is it for me? And are the benefits worth the extra expense?” The answers to those questions may be found by doing a bit of research for yourself, but here are a few items to consider. It turns out that it is not necessarily what is in the makeup you wear that makes it beneficial for the skin, but what is left out. What is missing from the organic and natural lines are oils, chemical dyes, extracts, and fillers, etc. that have been found to be skin irritants. Makeups with these compounds can prevent your skin from breathing and worsen any skin condition you may have. Natural makeup producers have found more skin friendly ingredients to achieve the same ends with better results in most cases.

All makeup is comprised of minerals that have been “processed” to some extent because there is no such thing as a pure mineral. Both natural and traditional makeup lines use the same basic mineral ingredients for the most part. But the risk of bacterial growth and contamination is absent from natural makeup, with the added benefit of a longer shelf life. Also keep in mind that the application technique of mineral makeup is different than with traditional, so a bit of professional instruction may be in order. The benefits of using natural makeup more than offset the added expense from a wellness point of view. The Jane Iredale line of mineral makeup best satisfies the needs and concerns of our clients and is considered the top all natural makeup line. Our skin care specialists at Beyond Beaute’ are here to assist you with your makeup needs. Call for a consultation today.

Did you know the average woman eats 1 tube of lipstick a year? The move is on to pressure cosmetic companies to replace toxic ingredients. Teens are stepping up to the plate, demanding healthier cosmetics. They want to know what ingredients to avoid in cosmetics. Some are toxic when absorbed through the skin and may be linked to cancer and other significant health problems. I wholeheartedly support this movement because studies claim that teenagers use between 15 to 25 products a day, containing about 200 synthetic chemicals. Being one who lectures on taking charge of one’s own health, I know a simple change in your skin care and cosmetic choices can have a major impact.

If you are looking for healthier, more natural choices for you or your teen’s skin, Beyond Beaute’ is proud to offer a greener path for optimum skin care and cosmetic needs. Pevonia’s Eco-friendly, organic phyto-extracts, offered in our professional facials and home care products, are up to the challenge when it comes to sensitive or blemished skin. For severe acne, just 3 short sessions with our blue or pure light treatment can remove 99% of the P. acne (Propionibacterium acne), the bacterium that causes acne inflammation and blemishes. These therapies can also improve skin texture and lessen the appearance of scars, so they may be good treatment choices for people with both active acne and acne scars. Noticeable results occur after two sessions.
