Dermatitis in adolescence
Contact dermatitis is increasingly common in children and young adults. In the age group between 12 and 18, girls are more affected than boys. The disorder most often affects the skin of the face . The major culprits of these skin problems in adolescents are jewelry and cosmetics. Why? Obviously due to the composition of the products used: nickel, lanolin, parabens and CG kathon are just some of the potentially allergenic substances contained in cosmetics . But then what to do? Give up make-up? Certainly not. There are safer but also more ecological natural alternatives. Considering however that it is always better not to overdo cosmetics at a very young age, the best choice is natural.
If you are a teenager, we recommend mineral cosmetics because ...
Among natural cosmetics, minerals are becoming increasingly popular, which is why teenagers should choose them:
- The mineral make-up is composed of mineral powders obtained from stones and / or mineral earths. The result is a very fine powder that adheres perfectly to the skin leaving it to breathe.
- The mineral cosmetics (the real ones) are 100% natural: they do not contain parabens, nickel, petrolatum, silicones, perfume ... all substances that, as we have just pointed out, are often the cause of annoying allergies.
- Mineral cosmetics contain zinc oxide, a useful substance for oily, acne and mixed skin; all very common in adolescents.
Let's not forget respect for nature: mineral cosmetics are produced with production mechanisms that respect the environment and are not tested on animals, dermocompatibility tests are performed on people.

The first of natural cosmetics for teenagers is certainly the mineral foundation . It is light and does not create the mask effect, but at the same time it makes the complexion uniform and gives the skin a smooth effect. Containing zinc oxide, it helps in the fight against unsightly acne pimples. Apply with a special brush, called kabuki, dry or slightly wet. Alternatively, you can mix it with the moisturizer.
Mineral make-up, however, is particularly suitable as a natural cosmetic for teenagers because it is very fun. In fact, they are very colorful and extremely versatile.

Blushes, mixed with transparent gloss, turn into lipsticks or can be used to color your own transparent malt in a new way.
