Q: You refer to your products as cosmeceuticals. What are cosmeceuticals?
A: Cosmeceuticals represent a marriage between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Like cosmetics, cosmeceuticals are topically applied, but they contain ingredients that influence the biological function of the skin. Cosmeceuticals improve appearance, but they do so by delivering nutrients necessary for healthy skin. Cosmeceuticals are the fastest-growing segment of the natural personal care industry. Consumers are always interested in maintaining a youthful appearance, and as the global population's median age increases, this market is increasingly expanding.

Q: My 14-year-old daughter wants to start wearing makeup. Is KV Cosmeceuticals appropriate for her?
A: Our on-staff clinical skin care specialist has a very simple answer - Yes! Mineral makeup is a wonderful choice for every woman who wears makeup. In fact, minerals should be the only choice. With their ability to lock moisture next to the skin, and create a barrier from harmful environmental factors younger women will realize the most long-term benefit. With their SPF 26 rating, Terra Derma' minerals provide even greater protection from the sun.

Q: If mineral makeup is water resistant, how do I wash it off?
A: The 'breathe ability' of mineral makeup does allow you to sweat, get wet, and even swim without coming off, leaving you with your best face forward. In these situations, lightly pat your face dry with a soft clean towel. However, mineral makeup is water resistant, not waterproof. To cleanse your face, simply use your favorite cleanser and water. Rub gently and you will remove your makeup application.

Q: How can I be sure that the makeup will match my skin tone?
A: Great question! The makeup comes in a powder form and color control is achieved by mixing various colors. We currently provide our most popular and widely used foundation colors for general use. If you find that the pre-blended colors do not perfectly match your skin tone, simply mix two or more foundation colors to provide your perfect match. This blending allows you to custom mix your makeup to fit you and only you. Custom blending is an awesome quality because it allows us to provide product to any ethnic group or skin coloration.

Q: What if I can't use powder on my face because I have dry skin?
A: You can still use mineral makeup! The reason that most powdered makeup dries out your skin is that it contains talc… a substance that pulls moisture out of your skin and causes a drying effect. KV Cosmeceuticals makeup is crushed minerals, giving it a powdery form, but it contains no talc and minerals are non-drying. It actually helps to hold in the natural moisture of your skin.

Q: I wear makeup everyday and use a lot of it. How often should I order?
A: You should order about 7 days before you run out to be on the safe side. Once you use our makeup, you'll never want to be without it! However, I think you'll be pleased to find that in the world of mineral makeup, less really is more! If you're having trouble, see our "Guide to Flawless Application".

Q: How will KV Cosmeceuticals makeup effect/ look on older looking skin?
A: Our mineral makeup will actually provide a younger natural look on ageing skin. This effect is due to the minerals reflective qualities. Instead of absorbing the light around the skin bringing attention to lines and wrinkles, it reflects light obscuring flaws and imperfections. To provide a younger, more natural, air brushed look, simply spray a light coat of our Earth Mist and lock in the moisture for an all day long soft dewy look.

Q: Can I use mineral makeup over the liquid foundation I use now?
A: Yes, mineral makeup is safe to use with any skin care regime that you currently use. However, as far as lightweight durable coverage goes, mineral makeup cannot be beat. We think that once you TRY it, you'll be astounded with the look and feel and will never want to use your old makeup again.
