Summer Skin loves Mineral Makeup In the harsh heat of summer your skin cannot be protected
enough. In the hottest months of the year a light powder makeup is a well deserved break for your skin and a welcomed texture as you will find it light weight to wear and carefree to use. Perfect for acne prone skin, mineral makeup doesn't clog pores,
doesn't dry skin, but it takes away shiny areas and protects the delicate areas. If your skin is very oily mineral makeup is perfect for you because the minerals absorb the excess oil and allows your skin to breathe naturally. Dermatologists recommend mineral makeup to patients who suffer from severe acne, rosacea, skin allergies and eczemas because the minerals heal the skin and nourish it. Highly recommended by plastic surgeons, mineral powder
is the only makeup that you can apply after a chemical peel, microdermabrasion or laser resurfacing with no risk of inflammation or allergic reaction. It contains ingredients that help to protect your skin by providing protection from the sun's UV rays and free radicals. For those of us who need a little help concealing it is ideal for hiding dark, red spots, broken capillaries and acne scars. You can use it to hide blemishes and discoloration as it easily covers redness and evens out skin tone. Overall mineral makeup in a liquid or powder form is the perfect
duo for gorgeous summer skin. Phoenix Renata www.phoenixcosmetics.com
