Why is mineral make-up good for acne or acne prone skin?
Acne vulgaris (common acne) can be caused by many factors such as hormones, stress, medications, and commonly by cosmetics. Traditional cosmetic products that contain perfumes, preservatives and organic dyes are known skin irritants and can cause acne flare-up. They can also be absorbed into the pores to form comedone plugs (blackheads) that block the secretion of sebum from pores. The interaction of the comedonal plugs with bacteria in the blocked pores lead to inflammation of the skin – what we know as acne. Due to the fact that Mineral make-up lies on the skin and forms a physical barrier between the skin and the environment, it is NOT absorbed, it allows the pores to breathe and maintain normal function of the skin. Avanyas mineral cosmetics also contain zinc oxide which has natural, anti-inflammatory properties that will help with any existing inflammatory processes occurring on your skin. The result of Avanyas Mineral Cosmetics is flawless coverage with healthy looking skin.
