Jane Iredale�s Pure Pressed Minerals
The exclusive formula of PurePressed® minerals provide a foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen all in one and replaces the need for liquid and cream foundation. Formulated to control oil, these mineral bases provide unsurpassed coverage and staying power and actually help to improve the skin with ingredients like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide that act as anti-inflammatories as well as effective broad spectrum sunscreens. Pine bark extract - a potent topical anti-oxidant, and jojoba ester improve skin texture and reduce moisture loss.
PurePressed minerals is made from micronized, water resistant minerals and gives instant, broad spectrum, chemical-free sun protection with an SPF of 17.
PurePressed is available in 18 shades that range from deep gold to deep mahogany, created to suit skins and nationalities as diverse as African American, Asian, Hispanic and European helping to carry the Jane Iredale line to all corners of the world. Because of the benefits the minerals have on the skin, plastic surgeons and dermatologists recommend Jane Iredale products internationally.
Under a microscope, the mineral crystals look like overlapping fish scales. These crystals form a filter that allows the free exchange of gasses. The minerals are non-comodogenic and there are no oils in any of the formulas. There are many accounts from acne patients testifying to improvement in their skin since using Jane iredale mineral cosmetics.
Allergies and sensitivities are usually caused by substances that cause irritation to the skin. Substances that most commonly cause these sensitivities are chemical preservatives, chemical dyes (usually labeled as FD&C), perfume and alcohol.
Reactions are common in skins that have been compromised in some fashion, as through a weakened immune system, sun damage, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, etc. Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics contain none of these sensitizers. In fact, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are anti-inflammatories and help calm the skin.
The reason Jane Iredale’s base powders work so well as a natural-looking beauty makeup or camouflage is because they contain concentrated pigment which not only masks color, but also reflects light away, rather than absorbing it, providing a younger appearance to the skin. An amazingly small amount of minerals will cover any type of redness including acne, rosacea and erythema. Talc is almost always seen on the ingredients list of other color cosmetics to stretch a small amount of pigment a long way. Talc is drying, translucent and cheap. It slides off the face, falls into cracks of the skin and accentuates fine lines and wrinkles because of its matte finish. It also has no camouflage capabilities.
Application tips:
-For a creamy, flawless finish, mix a small amount of powder into your favorite moisturizer, then apply as you would a cream foundation. This is especially good for the under eye area and concealing large pores.
-Use a darker base as a contour or bronzer, Latte and Maple are especially good.
-If the minerals look powdery, wait a few minutes for the skin’s natural oils to emerge or spritz with D2O.
