Mineral makeup clogging poors??

Bare Minerals shows in their commerial the ingredients found in normal foundations. They are waxy and nasty goop! They explain why mineral makeup is so much better. But are all mineral makeups the same and natural? Sheer Cover uses concealer. How does theirs differ? Also, most mineral makeup has SPF. Doesn't that Clog pores and cause breakouts? I've tried 6 different mineral makeups, but I'd like to know which one is really healthy. RAW minerals by Natural Beauty sells their face primer. But it has seed oil, shea butter, xantham gum, cera alba (Beeswax), and many other oils. How could I use this without breaking out? They claim that it actually minimizes and closes your pores so that the mineral makeup DOESN'T go into your pores. But other people say, the mineral makeup NEEDS to go into your skin to make it healthy??? Confused??

Mineral makeup clogging poors??
I tried a couple different mineral makeups and they use bismuth oxycloride, which made me have an allergic reaction. I found out that its a metal filler. That isn't healthy for your skin. I know, I'm not much of a help, but I wanted to share my experience.
Reply:Nothing can actually close your pores, so that claim is false. Mineral makeup is inert meaning there is nothing that can grow bacteria or stay in your skin and cause pore blockage. Oil-free formulations of regular concealers and foundations also will not clog your pores. Mineral oils and silicones can clog your pores which may or may not be in your products. If they say non-comedogenic that means they contain no ingredients that can clog pores. Not all oils clog pores - think of tea tree oil which is great for acne. Mineral oil is the worse offender.





The BM commercials are a marketing ploy to get people to use their products. Mineral makeup stays on top of your skin, protecting it from the environment. It contains SPF but that is in the form of titanium dioxide, which does not clog pores and is a natural mineral. Most foundations with SPF (including liquid ones) get their SPF rating from the titanium dioxide.





As for a primer, I would stick with an oil-free version. I like Smashbox Light Primer (the white one) because it is oil-free and great for sensitive skin.
Reply:I found that Mary Kay's Mineral powder works best.It has vitamins A,D and E.As a powder it is supposed to sit on top of the hairs on your face not in your pores.The concealer is probably what is cloging the pores,hense the word conSEALer.


Washing your face with a cleanser and wash cloth both morning and night will help out your skin and your pores will love you for it.
