Aesthetics

The state-of-the art Duke Aesthetics Center in Durham, North Carolina, is the place to go if you are looking for non-toxic, hypoallergenic makeup.

Most people never look at the ingredients in their makeup. We trust since we are spending so much money on makeup that someone, somewhere must be looking out for us. Unfortunately, that is not the case. In reality one of the main ingredients in makeup is not good for our skin: talc.

Why Is Talc So Bad?

Talc is a known carcinogen, irritant, lung asphyxiater, and has been linked to uterine cancer. So why are educated cosmetics companies still producing makeup composed of talc? It is cheap. They can make a great profit on a very poor performing cosmetic ingredient. Not only is talc unhealthy for our skin, but it doesn’t even look good. It creases and wears off, clogs pores, and causes acne.

Other Detrimental Ingredients

Talc isn’t the only ingredient to be upset about; cosmetic companies load their makeup with alcohols, oils, dyes, parabens, glycerin and more. All of these ingredients cause negative skin reactions and irritation. But all of this can be avoided with mineral makeup.

A Healthy Alternative

At Duke Aesthetics Center we carry a line of makeup created by Jane Irelade and developed from crushed minerals. The minerals used are pure zinc and titanium dioxide. We can assure you these products are free of talc, mica, fragrance, wax, oils, and perfumes, as well as chemicals.

No Allergic Reactions

You will not and cannot be sensitive or allergic to mineral makeup. This makeup line was originally developed for post-op covering of bruises and the like, to get patients back to their lives faster. But we find it is very beneficial for daily makeup use.

Keep Skin Contaminant-Free

Jane Ireland mineral makeup keeps your skin free of contaminants and toxins that can blemish or age your skin. Also, loose minerals are inert, or non-active, so they do not support bacterial growth. This provides mineral makeup with a much longer shelf life than regular cosmetics and it prevents oily or acne prone skin from being subjected to bacterial breakouts caused by traditional makeup.

Excellent Color Selection

Jane Irelade’s line has a wide range of colors so you can pamper your face no matter what your skin type or color.
