Anti Aging Makeup
Are you thinking of trying anti aging makeup? Wondering why using an anti aging face cream isn't enough?Here is a natural beauty secret you should know... Not all anti aging cosmetics are good for your skin - especially if they are used the wrong way. For instance, some contain retinols or alpha hydroxy acids. These combat the signs of aging by sloughing off old layers of skin and letting new cells come through. This is great for smoothing fine lines but this process leaves skin more susceptible to sun damage. Most of us would be applying anti aging makeup in the morning to wear throughout the day. This in essence could lead to more skin damage and premature aging. "But what if the anti aging cosmetics contain a sunscreen?" That is a good thing. They should, especially if you plan to wear them during the daylight hours. However, when skin care products are bogged down with a ton of components the essential anti aging ingredients can become less effective.
Natural Beauty Secret #2...There is anti aging makeup that is safe for skin and that can be effective.
1. Look for antioxidants. Grapeseed Oil and Green Tea Extract are two of my favorite examples. Both protect skin from free radical damage. They are great for use on all skin types. 2. If you do decide to use an anti aging makeup that contains retinols or AHA's, use them at night. Otherwise, leave the heavy lifting ingredients for your nightly anti aging face cream. (Learn how to get the most from your anti aging face creams here!) 3. Mineral makeup is very popular right now. Organic makeup products are filled with skin nourishing ingredients and antioxidants. The light formulations should cover well but look natural. Sometimes the powder varieties can look a bit dry on aging skin. They may accentuate pores and fine lines. You might have to do some experimenting to see how it looks on you. A safer bet... consider liquid mineral makeup ! These retain moisture and help skin look fresh and hydrated. Jane Iredale carries a gorgeous liquid mineral foundation that is great for skin. Read the reviews, everyone loves this stuff! Shop Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup Today! 4. Pay special attention to the eye area. Dry skin around the eyes can age us greatly and is a natural beauty secret "no-no." For makeup that is safe for skin and eyes, look for something like Afterglow Cosmetic's Organic Aloe Concealer. It naturally nourishes the skin and looks great...www.AfterglowCosmetics.com
