There is a difference between primer and isolation cream. Are you still confused about the difference?

Ultraviolet rays and various dust radiation are everywhere. In order to protect our skin, we must pay attention to isolating harmful substances in our daily skin care, so we generally choose to use isolation cream. Some people say that primer also has this effect. Beauties who have put on makeup know that there is a difference between isolation cream and primer, so what is the difference between the two?

Different usage methods

1. Primer

Isolation cream is used after basic skin care. On the one hand, it can isolate the skin from direct contact with makeup products. On the other hand, it can isolate the harm caused by direct contact between the skin and harmful substances such as dust in the air and car exhaust. The technology for developing isolation creams on the market is already very advanced. Some color-adjusting factors and physical and chemical sunscreen ingredients are added to ordinary isolation cream ingredients. Therefore, in addition to the basic isolation effect, isolation creams can also provide coloring and sunscreen effects.

2. Primer

Primer belongs to the category of makeup products, which are mainly used to modify skin tone and enhance the fit of makeup to the skin. Its main function is to maintain the fit of makeup to the skin. Since the product contains substances such as silicon, it has a silky feel, which can make the pores feel delicate and shiny when creating makeup. If you wear makeup, primer is a must. However, the breathability of primer is poor, so it is not recommended to use it for a long time. Please choose different dosage forms of primer according to different skin types.

Use of primer

It is OK for girls who don’t wear makeup to just choose primer. In fact, primer is an important step to protect makeup and skin. If you apply foundation without using isolation, the foundation will clog your pores and damage your skin. It will also easily cause the foundation to fall off, commonly known as "powder eating". When choosing a primer, you must make sure that it is hydrophilic (that is, the primer contains more water than oil). This way, it can effectively isolate the makeup and make it last longer.

Note on using primer: Just pay attention to the order of using it with primer. Generally: Primer - Base Cream - BB Cream

Use of primer

1. Use an appropriate amount, generally a soybean size is enough, apply five points on the upper, middle, lower and two cheeks, and spread or smear horizontally;

2. Some primers take some time to be absorbed before applying foundation, which will look more natural.
