People that struggle with acne know all too well the painful embarrassment it causes, not to mention the physical and emotional scars it leaves behind. Acne can be caused and exacerbated by many factors including genetics, diet and environment. Organic makeup is one way you can help control acne breakouts while covering up your existing blemishes.
Some of the common ingredients found in organic makeup are natural acne fighters. For example, zinc oxide and titanium oxide are often used in mineral makeup. These ingredients are both known for their anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Because acne is caused by bacteria, the use of a mineral based product may help to calm irritated skin and fight the bacteria that are causing breakouts.
Organic makeup doesn’t contain harsh chemicals or preservatives. The products are free of dyes and extra perfumes. Very often, synthetic cosmetics only help to promote acne breakouts because the dyes, perfumes and chemicals found in them can further irritate skin that is already sensitive.
Natural makeup will not only help to prevent future breakouts, but it will also make skin look better while it’s healing. As mentioned before, zinc oxide is used in most mineral powders and makeup.
In addition to being an anti-inflammatory and bacteria fighter, it also works well for absorbing excess oil. Less oil means less shine and also fewer breakouts. Mineral powders and foundations also do a great job in smoothing out skin tone and covering up blemishes while they heal.
In addition to the benefits you will realize by using natural makeup, you can also feel good about using a product that is better for our environment. However, if you’re considering the switch to organic makeup, be careful. Not all products that claim they are pure, natural and organic really are. Truly organic products will be certified and this information can be found right on the product label.
When comparison shopping, it may seem like organic beauty products are more expensive than their synthetic counterparts. While on the surface this may be true, the reality is you won’t need to use nearly as much product as you’re used to. A little goes a very long way with mineral makeup products. Therefore, you may actually find that you’re saving money in the long run.
Using organic makeup isn’t going to cure acne. Used properly, however, switching to a natural beauty regiment will help to calm your skin, relieve inflammation and absorb excess oil. This will help promote healthier skin and fewer breakouts. While your skin is healing, organic products will provide the coverage you need to lessen the look of your blemishes.
