Mineral Make Up for Teens: Bring Out Her Natural Beaty

By Marilyn Etzel

It is a rite of passage for a daughter to play in her mother's makeup. If you have your own teenage daughter you may have already experienced this. When she is ready for her own makeup, help her find a natural product.

Many people develop skin problems in their teen years. That is usually when the dreaded acne shows up. For a teen girl, skin problems can really be devastating. I'm sure you know teens are extremely body conscious and that begins with their faces.

Some girls think that using makeup will cover up their facial problems. Traditional makeup can clog pores and cause more problems for your daughter. If her skin is extremely sensitive, just the filler and dyes can give healthy looking skin problems it didn't have before.

If you are approaching the makeup season in your home, help your daughter out. Together, examine the makeup on the market to find one that will keep her skin healthy and clear.

The Benefits

Teenage skin goes through many phases. When puberty hits, the hormones can do a number on her body and her face. Some teens may be more prone to acne and skin irritation than others. If your daughter falls into this category, she will want to find a way to minimize the look of acne on her face.

Mineral makeup was designed to reduce the appearance of makeup on your face. It looks like you aren't wearing anything at all. To achieve this, the minerals meld with your skin for a flawless look with no tell-tale lines to show where you natural tone ends and the makeup begins. And, it only needs to be applied once for maximum effect.

Mineral makeup has another purpose. It seeks to enhance what is naturally there. If there are skin imperfections, the minerals are designed to reduce their appearance. As a result, the makeup looks like you are wearing no makeup at all. Your daughter will like that.

Part of the reason for the seamless look is the brush strokes. A minimal amount of mineral powder is applied to the face using a Kabuki brush. It doesn't take long since the powder color matches the natural tone of the face. Your daughter will love how it looks and feels. You will love how little time she has to spend in the bathroom "putting on her face."

With mineral makeup, your daughter can:

- Look more like the natural beauty she is.

- Learn about natural beauty

- Reduce the chances of skin issues.

With all those benefits, who could resist? - 16492
