Why Minerals ?
Jane Iredale Minerals Cosmetics known as The Skin Care Makeup, the Jane Iredale line is so safe and beneficial to use that it is recommended by plastic surgeons and dermatologists throughout the world. Jane Iredale's Skin Care Makeup combines the most up-to-date colors with skin-care benefits that conventional makeups can only envy:
Non-comedogenic, will not block pores. Virtually no allergy risk. All products have been sensitivity tested. Broad-spectrum UVB and UVA protection - up to SPF 30. UVA tested at High. Anti-inflammatory, helps to calm and soothe irritated skin. Very water resistant rating by an FDA-approved lab. Complete coverage for skin conditions
like acne, rosacea and redness following Contains no talc or parabens. Composed of inert minerals that cannot support bacteria. No products have been tested on animals.
Jane's line is a highly-sophisticated blend of minerals and pigments that are micro-pulverized, using proprietary technology and processes to form microscopic flat particles. These particles overlap each other on the skin to form a filter that allows the skin to breathe and function normally while still protecting it from air-borne pollutants. The staying power of the inerals is so great that they rarely need a touch-up during the day. And because these silky-feeling powders are water resistant, they won't crease or smear even during the most strenuous exercise. These state-of-the-art minerals are available in so many shades that there's one for every complexion no matter what the ethnicity. We do not use nano particle sizes.
It’s important to know that anyone can be allergic or sensitive to anything. However, we have eliminated the known sensitizers from our makeup. Fragrance, FD&C dyes and synthetic preservatives are the top three sensitizers. Individuals with extreme chemical sensitivities wear our makeup successfully.
Yes. It is completely non-comedogenic and allows the skin to breathe and function normally. It also easily covers the redness common with eruptions. We have had many aestheticians report to us that they have seen an improvement in the skins of their clients since they have been using the Iredale cosmetic line.
Yes. Iredale can be used with any skin care regimen. The SPF the minerals provide is especially important while using Retin-A or AHA’s.
No. You may if you wish. We always believe that you can’t wear too much protection in the sun. However, be careful of comedogenic or sensitivity reactions to some chemical sunscreens. Because our minerals provide a physical sunscreen, there is no need to wait for protection to begin.
No, but it has ingredients such as Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin C that help to repair the cells suffering from UV damage. If you apply a layer of powdered minerals over Liquid Minerals, you are helping to repair and protect the skin. Using Absence underneath Liquid Minerals also provides sun protection. The minerals can be applied immediately after a microdermabrasion or a light peel. They will not only cover the redness, but the titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are known anti-inflammatories that will help to calm the erythema. It is important to replace the stratum corneum that has been lost after these kinds of procedures. The stratum corneum is the body’s first defense against the sun.
What are the best colors for camouflaging redness? Definitely not green! Green works fine for artists working on canvas when they want to neutralize red, but it doesn’t work on the human skin. It leaves a gray, ghost-like pall, which is very unattractive. Our yellow bases will conceal redness. Our most versatile yellow base is Warm Sienna, and that is our most popular color for camouflaging erythema. Warm Silk, Amber and Golden Glow also work well.
Either will cover the erythema and give the necessary sun protection. You might want to bear in mind, however, that the new skin after laser is extremely sensitive and the fewer ingredients you have to worry about, the better. The loose powders contain less than the pressed. Our advice on lasered skin is to keep it as simple as possible. Will the minerals cover bruising or birthmarks? Yes. However, the shadow of some dark bruising may show through. Try Disappear, the peach Circle|Delete or Enlighten to camouflage anything that the powders won’t.
Under the new FDA monograph, no manufacturer is now allowed to claim a “water proof” rating. The highest nomenclature that can be used is “very water resistant.” This is a rating allowed by the FDA when a product has successfully completed its criteria for underwater testing. It requires that product be placed on a human subject and immersed in moving water for 80 minutes. The SPF is then tested. In the case of our makeup, it maintained its SPF and, therefore, acquired a “very water resistant” rating. Does jane iredale work on older or aging skin? Yes. Because this is a light-reflective cosmetic, it obscures fine lines and wrinkles and gives a healthy glow to the skin, making it look younger. Matte makeup absorbs light and allows the eye to see “into” the skin. On a very lined skin, after applying the minerals, it is helpful to spritz with our D2O, Balance or POMMISST hydration sprays. This sets the makeup, softens lines and gives a dewy look. The technique of spritzing the sponge first and applying the minerals as a wash also helps to minimize fine lines, wrinkles and large pores. No, quite the reverse. Our minerals actually trap moisture between the skin and the crystal layer. The conception that powders are drying comes from the high use of talc in most formulas – up to 90%! What moisturizer is best used with the powders?
We color mostly with iron oxides. We use ultramarines (ground Lapis Lazuli, a blue mineral) and chromium oxide greens in our blue and green eye shadows. We use small amounts of carmine in some products when brighter colors are required. Vegans and those practicing Kosher will want to avoid the makeup colors containing carmine. Is it O.K. to put your blush on eyes? Yes, because we don’t use FD&C dyes in our blushes. FD&C dyes are not allowed for use around the eye area. Some red dyes (like Red #40) are known comedogens. Break-outs in the cheek area could be related to this. Generally not, although those with oily eyelids (unusual) may want to apply our eye lid primers; Canvas, Petal and Lemon that effectively control oil. A layer of Pure Matte on the lids first can also be effective. Are the lip and
eye pencils interchangeable? Yes! The problem that first-time wearers commonly encounter is that they apply too much. Because they are used to using makeup that has large amounts of filler and not a lot of “pay-off,” they use the same techniques when applying jane iredale. With minerals, less is more. Please refer to the individual products for technique details. How long does
it take to apply a full makeup?
Yes, but we don’t know why you would want to. Try it and see the amount of coverage you get just with the minerals. You’ll be amazed! For maximum coverage, put on a layer of Liquid Minerals and then brush Amazing Base or PurePressed on top. Your favorite. The minerals can be removed with any cleanser. They won’t, however, come off with plain water. Try our Magic Mitt for a squeaky clean face without the need to use a cleanser.
Yes. Because the minerals are undetectable, they feel comfortable wearing them. In fact, newscasters are now using the powders on high definition television because their old makeup was obvious to the television cameras.
