New word on the street "Minerals" and Le Petit Spa has the answer

The newest trend to hit the makeup industry isn’t makeup…the word on the street is “Minerals”.

And this word is becoming more popular each day. Known in the spa industry as “an extension of professional skin care” and “The Skin Care Makeup” minerals are the best thing to come into the day spa industry since a perfectly painted set of toes!

What are Minerals?

Minerals are pure, crushed minerals taken from the earth. These minerals have natural pigment, that when oxidized by oxygen (iron oxides) they produce color that is used in Mineral cosmetics.

Jane Iredale Mineral “makeup” is Le Petit Spa’s preferred choice when it comes to Mineral “makeup” (“makeup” in quotations because it’s not makeup, these minerals just don’t cover - up your skin like makeup, they make your skin look and feel better while protecting it)

Le Petit Spa prefers Jane Iredale for the following reasons:

• No animal testing



• Contain no chemicals, fillers, talc or parabens like drugstore brands do; therefore, no cancer causing agents.



• Used by plastic surgeons and dermatologists to cover reddened skin after surgery or laser treatments



• Does not clog pores



• Feels so light it feels like wearing nothing at all, but covers heavy enough to cover acne and skin conditions like rosacea.



• Only used in professional spas, Plastic Surgeon offices and Dermatologist; never found in drugstores which allows for higher quality and more active ingredients.

Benefits of using mineral makeup:

• Contains a natural SPF of 20 that protects your skin from sun damage (derived from natural minerals found in the earth that contain natural UV filters.)



• Protection from free radicals that cause premature aging with antioxidants



• Does not clog pores



• Does not contain chemicals, parabens, fillers or talc that can cause irritation on sensitive skin types (these have also been linked to certain forms of cancer)

The most beautiful cosmetic you can wear is a healthy skin; mineral makeup can help keep your skin looking beautiful because it does not cause your skins normal functions from being disturbed from chemicals, dyes or other irritants.
