Did you ever try on your mother’s or older sister’s makeup? It was fun wasn’t it? All girls like to play dress up and that includes putting on some makeup. When your daughter is older and ready for her own makeup, help her find one that feels natural.

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.

When your daughter expresses an interest in makeup, discuss using mineral makeup instead of the more traditional choices on the market. In fact, help her pick out the makeup that will look best with her skin type and tone. Turn it all into a mother-daughter bonding event.

Benefits for Your Daughter

One thing to consider with mineral makeup is the health of your daughter’s skin. Skin on the face is delicate anyway and when you are a teen, hormones put the skin through a number of tough phases. Adding traditional pore clogging makeup to the mix is not a wise choice.

Many teen girls use makeup to cover up facial imperfections such as acne or dark patches. Actually, most makeup doesn’t help ,but actually hurts the skin. And for the most part, teens tend wear too much and their face begins to look artificial.

With mineral makeup, the goal is to reduce the look of skin imperfections with natural ingredients. The minerals in the best mineral makeup are natural and they melt into the skin when applied for a cleaner fresher look and feel. Anyone who sees your daughter won’t even know that she is wearing makeup.

The minerals are the key. Using natural minerals in a fine powder blend with your skin so you never know where skin ends and makeup begins. Very little makeup is applied because very little is needed to achieve total coverage. The Kabuki brush that comes with the makeup was designed for smooth, even application. Now, there won’t be any more marathon bathroom makeup sessions for your daughter on school mornings.

With mineral makeup, your daughter can:

- Spend less time in the morning getting ready

- Have less chance of encountering skin problems due to makeup use

- Spend less time in the bathroom applying makeup

With all those benefits, who could resist?
