The market is today saturated by oil-based make-ups that mostly cause acne and clogged skin pores. The mineral Makeup therefore comes as a natural alternative, say the Grupo Mayan experts.

In modern times, cosmetics stand as a multibillion-dollar industry. Cosmetics are costing a fortune. Yet, just because a product is costing more, it doesn´t mean that it’s better for you. Whatever you apply on your skin is ultimately absorbed into the blood stream and this ought to be your guiding principle when applying a liquid foundation on your skin.

Experts refer to the process of absorbed a substance into the blood through the skin as trans-dermal delivery. Trans-dermal delivery is among the fastest known ways of getting a concentrated substance into the blood stream, say the Grupo Mayan experts. That´s why many drugs are usually applied as skin creams or skin patches instead of having a shot or pill. It usually takes longer for you to absorb anything via the digestive system than it does via a direct application on the skin.

As such, read the label of any skin application product carefully. You might end up putting dies, dangerous chemicals and lethal preservatives into the blood. Better still consider natural alternatives of makeup, say the Grupo Mayan spa professionals.

The advantages of mineral make-ups are many. To begin with, they are derived from natural minerals. Most are a combination of such minerals as mica, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide act as natural sun-blocking agents. Most natural make-ups are waterproof, enabling them to last all day long with little or no touch ups, say the Grupo Mayan experts.
Constituent minerals in natural make-ups are finely milled to powder to allow maximal blending with the skin. Given that minerals occur in many colours, natural make-ups are usually manufactured in an assortment of natural colours for eye shadows, blush and foundations. You can even mix several colours to get a natural custom colour.

Milling the minerals to very fine powders make it easy to blend them, to appear natural while on your skin and also to avoid their getting clogged in your skin pores, say the Grupo Mayan experts. Thus they are safe for use because they don´t lead to acne or skin cancer. Natural make-ups aptly cover blemishes, large pores and scars.

Minerals therefore remain a safe and an exclusive natural alternative to the chemical, oil and preservatives laden brands of synthetic makeup readily available in the shops today.
