Acne: more than a pimple

And how Mineralissima's mineral make-up helps soothe, care for, and camouflage your skin

Impure skin can flare up at various times in your life. During your teenage years, but also in adulthood. Maybe you recognize it: those inflammations that suddenly appear, redness that doesn't seem to go away, or scars that you keep seeing for months. And then the search for products that actually help, but don't clog your skin or make it more sensitive.

At Mineralissima, customers struggling with acne are no exception, in any form. Some seek subtle camouflage for a special occasion, others want to be able to wear make-up every day without their skin suffering underneath. And that is exactly what we stand for: make-up that lets your skin breathe, soothes and supports it, resulting in a natural, confident look.

What exactly is acne?

Acne occurs when your pores get clogged with sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This causes inflammations: pimples, blackheads, or subcutaneous bumps. For some, it's hormonal; for others, it's genetically determined or the result of stress, diet, or an improper skincare routine. Whatever the cause: acne is not just a skin problem, it often also has an emotional impact.

And let's be honest: comments, looks, or unsolicited advice can make you want to hide rather than be seen. We believe you don't need a 'perfect' skin to feel beautiful. You do need skin that is treated with respect, even when you wear make-up.

Acne and makeup: is that actually allowed?

A common fear: "If I wear makeup, my acne will get worse." And unfortunately, that is sometimes true. Especially if you use makeup that clogs your pores (comedogenic), contains perfume, or is full of irritating ingredients. Fortunately, there is an alternative that is gentle on your skin and helps you look your best: mineral makeup.

Why mineral makeup actually works well for acne

Our mineral makeup is specially developed to be as gentle as possible on the skin. No heavy oils, no chemical additives, no suffocating layer, but pure minerals that let your skin breathe. That makes it perfect for acne-prone skin types.

This is what our mineral makeup can do for your skin:

• Light and breathable: does not clog your pores and allows your skin to heal naturally.
• Soothing: ingredients like zinc oxide have anti-inflammatory effects, which help with pimples and redness.
• Buildable coverage: from subtle to full coverage, without your skin looking heavy or "cakey."
• Mattifying effect: helps control shine without drying out.
• Suitable for sensitive skin: hypoallergenic and free from perfume, alcohol, or parabens.

Our favorite concealers for acne: choose what suits you

Sometimes you need something extra to subtly camouflage inflammations or scars. That’s why we have two nice, skin-friendly concealers in our range. Each with their own benefits for acne-prone skin:

Skin Fix Mineral Concealer – for the oilier, active acne-prone skin

This loose powder concealer is a natural choice for active pimples and inflammations. Why?

• Contains zinc oxide, which has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Light formula that does not clog pores.
• Has a light mattifying effect, perfect for skin that gets oily quickly.
• Blends seamlessly with our mineral foundation.
• Ideal if you prefer not to use liquid products and want to give your skin as much rest as possible.

Cover Up Liquid Concealer: for precise coverage and a smooth finish

This liquid concealer offers just that little extra coverage when you need it:

• Soft, nourishing formula, with natural oils that are non-comedogenic.
• Works beautifully on spots, scars, or under-the-skin blemishes.
• Blends easily with a brush or finger.
• Ideal if you want a slightly fuller coverage, for example around the chin, nose, or jawline.
• Perfect for people with combination skin or if your makeup needs to last all day.

Whatever you choose: your skin is central

Whatever your skin needs, at Mineralissima everything is about balance and gentleness. We want to create makeup that makes your skin happy. Not because you have to hide something, but because you get to choose what you show. Whether you want to lightly camouflage once in a while or apply full-face foundation: it should feel comfortable.

Care for acne, not just camouflage

Besides makeup, it is important to continue supporting your skin with gentle care:

• Cleanse your skin gently but thoroughly (without harsh agents).
• Always hydrate, even if your skin feels oily. Lack of moisture can actually increase sebum production.
• Use clean brushes and sponges. This really makes a difference with acne.
• Avoid perfume and alcohol in skincare and makeup.
• Give your skin a rest. Sometimes it just needs a breather.
