Makeup for Acne

What is the best Makeup for Acne? I truly believe it is Mineral Makeup! Mineral Makeup is all natural and doesn't clog pores, it even has natural ingredients that soothe and heal the skin.

Mineral Makeup

I suffered with adult acne for almost 20 years, at many times it was very severe. As a professional woman I was always so embarrassed by my complexion and I would pile on the foundation every morning to try and hide the acne. One day I decided to try mineral makeup and my acne began to clear up almost immediately! After a few weeks my face was clear for good.

I realized that the foundation I was using to try and cover the acne was actually causing it. I have been using mineral makeup for 9 or 10 years now and my face still breaks out if I use a regular liquid foundation, or any non-mineral foundation.

What are the benefits of mineral makeup?

Because the ingredient bismuth in mineral makeup is problematic for some users (I have used it for years with no problems but I don't have sensitive skin, just acne prone), I would recommend a bismuth free foundation if you have acne and want to try mineral makeup. Here are the brands I would start with:

Mineral Hygienics Mineral Make Up offers a very good selection of bismuth free mineral cosmetics. I am impressed with the staying power of this makeup, it stays on longer and better than any other I have tried.
