Skin Care Review: Bare escentuals Bareminerals Starter Kit

by Anonymous

Rating
Adverse Effects

Benefits
Covered Well

Drawbacks
Broke out my skin!

Details
I began using this foundation after it was recommended to me by the RN performing my laser treatments. I had mild/moderate acne on my cheeks and had cleared it completely when i began the treatments. My skin was flawless at the end of four treatments. Unfortunately, then i began using bare minerals, and my skin broke out horribly. It was never little pimples, always large cystic acne. I thought it must have been my hormones causing the acne to flair back up, but soon spoke to a makeup artist friend who tols me that she's encountered numerous accounts of people having severe, severe reactions to pure mineral makeup. She explained that yes, it is all natural. But so isn't poison ivy, and you wouldn't rub that on your skin! Not everything that is natural is good for your skin! Pure minerals are very harsh and many people will not be able to handle it. Steer clear. I personally recoomend Lorac wet/dry foundation as a good substitute.

Conclusions
Horrible, don't use!
