Choosing the right Make-up
When it’s time to restock your makeup bag, what factors do you consider when you choose your foundation? Do you consider the ingredients in your makeup?
At YES, we recommend mineral makeup to all of our clients because you its free of harmful or irritating ingredients. We believe that when you are investing in your skin health, make up should be part of the conversation.
In the same way that it doesn’t make sense to drive through McDonald’s on your way home from the gym, it doesn’t make sense to apply non-mineral makeup on top of your medical grade skin care products, or your freshly treated skin.
What make’s mineral makeup so healthy?
The main difference between mineral foundation and the foundation you can pick up at your local drug store, is the ingredients.
Mineral makeup is FREE of all parabens, fragrances, talc, oils or other harsh chemicals that can irritate sensitive or acne prone skin.
Mineral makeup also has a larger molecular weight than other makeup on the market. This means that the makeup molecules will ‘sit’ on top of the skin rather than ‘sink in’ or absorb into to the skin. This prevents your pores from becoming clogged with product and allows the skin to breathe naturally.
We love mineral makeup because it is the healthiest choice for your skin, especially after a skin rejuvenation, injectable or laser treatments. We always recommend our clients try mineral makeup. You have to protect your investment into your skin health and that includes your makeup.
