Make mine mineral

MANILA, Philippines - Minerals can do wonders for your skin.

Reap the benefits of pure minerals from Colorescience, a mineral makeup and skin care brand made of 100 percent pure minerals — no additives, no talc and perfume, just good-for-the-skin ingredients that make it ideal for everyday use.

While conventional makeup contains ingredients that can irritate skin and clog pores, mineral makeup is made of nurturing minerals and stripped of harsh ingredients. When mineral makeup is 100 percent pure, even the most sensitive of skin can wear it because it is free of irritants present in many makeup brands. Colorescience is free of harsh perfumes, talc, mineral oil, preservatives, alcohols, emulsifiers and dyes. That’s living up to the essence of mineral makeup, which is to nourish and protect the skin while giving it a healthy, natural-looking wash of color.

As gentle as it is on the skin, Colorescience is tough when it comes to protecting skin from harmful UV rays. This mineral makeup powder does not dissolve in water and stays on the skin surface longer, giving you lasting coverage, color and protection. Its waterproof consistency allows it to care for your skin longer, and leaves a rich pigment that stays on your skin and not in your pores. It’s makeup that you can wear even after facials, peels and other skin treatments. The minerals in this product, in fact, even help sensitive, post-treatment skin heal faster, since SPF rated Colorescience products offer stable sun protection which is especially important for skin that’s been previously treated.

Apart from its nourishing properties, this mineral makeup has corrective qualities. Created to give you instant, as well as long term results, The Core Four — corrects, protects, colors, perfects — provides aesthetic benefits while acting as an extension of your skincare. In a few simple steps, these products work synergistically to address texture, sun safety compliance and skin discoloration. It is formulated with antimicrobial and antioxidant ingredients that work on the surface of the skin to correct signs of rosacea, hyperpigmentation, acne and aging. Its SPF 30 mineral powder sunscreen protects your skin instantly and effectively. It brings you a sophisticated palette of highly pigmented loose and pressed mineral colors that give your skin a flawless, radiant finish and the coverage that it needs, and it has products like the Colorescience Achromatherapy Gem Spritzer to revitalize, set and perfect your mineral makeup, as well as hydrate your skin. Dermatologists highly recommend it.

Lush lashes: The exclamation point to your look!

Lush lashes soften facial features. They make the eyes appear bigger, and give you a more alluring gaze — effects we normally get from eye liner and mascara that you can now also get from the new physician-formulated MD 101 Lash Factor Eyelash Conditioner.
