Many women wear makeup<\/a> every day. We brush, smear and rub it on our faces, to a large extent unaware of the contents of the products. In many cases, women even find that makeup products promote skin conditions like acne. So, why do we keep doing it? Knowingly driving ourselves into a cycle of \u201cbad skin \u00e0 cover it up \u00e0 worse skin \u00e0 cover it up\u201d?<\/p>\n Surely if we stopped using makeup our skin would be healthier and the need to constantly cover up would be reduced. But for some, makeup is not just a cover-up, but a fashion accessory, a companion even, something worn \u201cfor the fun<\/span> of it\u201d.<\/p>\n Whether we like to add a dash of style to our days, cover up blemishes, or just enjoy the process of playing (for lack of a better word) with makeup, makeup is a daily presence in many of our lives.<\/p>\n Well, we think it\u2019s time to break the cycle. But not by quitting makeup. We think there\u2019s an alternative solution in which wearing makeup and having great skin don\u2019t have to be in conflict with each other.<\/p>\n What\u2019s our suggestion for maintaining beautiful, glowing skin?<\/p>\n Natural makeup, of course!<\/p>\n So, how is natural makeup different to regular makeup?<\/strong><\/p>\n To start, most natural makeup brands are ethical traders. This means three things:<\/p>\n We stock organic makeup products that are free from: <\/strong><\/p>\n So, what\u2019s the catch? <\/strong><\/p>\n Natural makeup products are pricier than their chemical-laden cousins. This is largely due to the costs and processes involved in sourcing natural ingredients and manufacturing according to ethical policies.<\/p>\n However, some makeup products that are considered \u201cnormal\u201d (i.e. not marketed as \u201cnatural\u201d) in fact contain only natural ingredients. This is true of many mineral powders, bamboo brushes<\/a> and kohl eyeliners.<\/p>\n The natural makeup products that we stock at Vive Health are formulated with natural organic minerals and nourishing ingredients such as almond oil. We believe that a diet of nourishing organic food<\/a> and a lifestyle which incorporates natural, chemical-free household products<\/a> \u00a0and makeup can break the cycle of covering up. That\u2019s why we choose makeup that nourishes the skin and encourages natural beauty to flourish, at the same time as adding a dash of style to your day.<\/p>\n For a full list of our natural makeup and self-tanning beauty products, visit our organic makeup page by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many women wear makeup every day.
