One common myth surrounding mineral makeup and its connection with dry skin is that people using mineral makeup on dry skin feel that it can make their skin more dry and lifeless. However, it totally depends on your choice to opt for a mineral makeup or not; but the fact is, mineral makeup does not leave your skin over-dry. If you already have an over-dry skin, you can use a mineral makeup and then use a hydrating spray on the skin to keep it hydrated all the time.

One important thing you should keep in mind is that pure mineral makeup binds to oil and not water. It does not affect your skin in any way as long as there are no chemical ingredients used in it. Most of the cheap mineral foundations in the market have chemicals used in them, which may damage your skin to a larger extent.
