Mineral makeup can be an oily complexion’s best friend! Typical liquid foundations are saturated with ingredients that can wreak havoc to blemish prone skin, and oily complexions are certainly the epitomes of blemish prone skin! The oil free types of liquids still cause problems that do not occur with mineral makeup. The major difference in liquid makeup and mineral makeup is the absence of ingredients.

Oily skin can be difficult at best to maintain with its own unique set of rules. My own experience is to try to never break these rules! Cleansing is extremely important as well as using oil free products. Going to sleep without thoroughly washing the face is never an option. There are the unfortunate times when diligence is still not enough and the blemishes appear. One of the wonderful benefits of mineral makeup is that is fine to actually put it on a blemish! There just isn’t anything in the mineral makeup that is going to exacerbate the pimple problem! 

The last thing an oily complexion needs is layers of pore-clogging ingredients applied on a daily basis. That is exactly what I did to my complexion for many years! I only wish I had discovered mineral makeup long before I did!

I personally know very few women who do not wear makeup on a daily basis. I know there are the exceptions with the gorgeous, genetically blessed skin that I so admire! The reality for the rest of us is some type of foundation to minimize those little flaws and imperfections. Those of us with very oily skin have a different dilemma. We want to cover imperfections without making our already troublesome skin more upset. We finally have a choice that just wasn’t available before mineral makeup! I tried every oil free liquid makeup I could find. I did wear liquid makeups that looked great on my skin. Some of those liquids had excellent coverage.

Takeaways
  • Mineral makeup is actually good for the skin.
  • Oily complexions are more prone to blemishes from liquid makeups.
  • Mineral makeup is becoming readily available.

Try Everyday Minerals....It is really affordable and I love it! You can get a free sample kit for a small shipping and handling fee in order to find the right shade for you!

Thanks for the tip, April. I haven't tried that one yet, I remember seeing it in Walgreens but I thought it looked like a liquid (even though it said mineral) I like Physician's Formula's other products I've tried. I think I'll give their mineral makeup a try!

I discovered mineral make-up a little over a year ago. It has made a big difference in my skin, as I too live in the south where it gets to 98 degress with what feels like 98 percent humidity. My liquid make-up would feel like it was melting off before I left the house! I buy Physician's Formula, which you can find at a 40 percent discount frequently at Walgreens and Rite Aid. I'll never go back to liquid!
