Pros and Cons of Mineral Makeup

© The Snarky PrincessAre you thinking about switching to mineral makeup? Are you convinced that it is better than normal makeup? Here are some pros and cons to get you started thinking about mineral makeup.

Pros:
1. Mineral Makeup can be calming for the skin, which is especially important for those with dermatological problems such as rosacea or acne.
2. Many mineral makeup businesses protect the consumer from products with fillers and colors, binder and preservatives.

Cons:
1. The smooth and natural look that is long lasting is achieved by some mineral makeup companies by pulverizing the minerals into nanoparticle size. Research shows that the minerals in this form can be toxic when inhaled or applied to damage skin.
2. Not all mineral makeup companies eliminate the use of fillers and colors, binders and preservatives, and other chemicals.
