Mineral Makeup - The Hype, The Addiction, The Solution found at Le Petit Spa.

The Hype

Consumers are smarter now more than ever when it comes to making purchases while protecting the environment. With global warming becoming a basis for political campaigns and the realization that recycling, renewable fossil fuels and reusable goods should be a staple in today’s global community, consumers are looking for solutions that fit into today’s environmentally friendly lifestyle.

Enter Mineral Makeup, today’s cosmetic solution that is good for the environment as well as your skin – their hypoallergenic formulas are free of petroleum, talc, chemicals and other fillers that are un-natural and cause interruptions in your skin’s natural metabolic processes. Plus, the company that makes these minerals does not test on animals and harvest the minerals while ensuring the planet is left undamaged and at its natural state.

The minerals are from Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics – a pioneer in the natural cosmetics industry. Dubbed as the “Skin Care Makeup” these minerals feature a natural SPF derived from, of course, natural minerals. The creator of these minerals, Jane Iredale, was looking for a solution to cover the redness some clients were experiencing after laser surgery at the doctor’s office she was working at. Today, many plastic surgeons, doctors and spa’s all across the world use Jane Iredale as their choice for professional makeup services.

The Addiction

Once you try Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, it will be hard to use anything else. Not only do they have long lasting staying power, they do not clog pores (I must admit, I’ve even slept with them on, and not one pimple!). They feel so light that you can’t feel them on your skin, but covers everything from dark circles under the eyes, pimples, redness, freckles… I could go on for ever! Plus, your skin glows when you have these minerals on. I’m addicted; these minerals make your skin look so healthy! Of course, the healthiest makeup you can wear is your own skin, but if you’re like most of us out there and perfect skin isn’t always in the cards, Jane Iredale Minerals just might be the answer.

Day Spas use these minerals as “an extension of skin care” and some even apply them after performing facial treatments on their clients to protect their client’s skin from external factors (such as the sun) with their natural SPF.

Another great advantage of using these minerals is that they’re “inert”, meaning they don’t support bacteria growth, making them ideal for clients who have problems with acne (Teens). They also contain anti-inflammatory ingredients, soothing and calming the skin from external aggressors that can cause irritation...Read more about Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup.
