What is the difference between isolation cream and sunscreen

Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to taking care of themselves, especially their faces, and there are many skin care products to choose from. In the past, sunscreen products were only used in the hot summer, but now we have to do a good job of sun protection even in winter. When we buy skin care products, we will find that there are really many types of skin care products, such as sunscreen and isolation cream. For many people, they can't tell how to use these products and what the differences are. Now let's talk about the differences between isolation cream and sunscreen.

1. Primer contains more skin-beautifying ingredients

Sunscreen only provides sun protection. In addition to the sun protection function, isolation cream also contains antioxidant ingredients, whitening ingredients or vitamin ingredients. Compared with ordinary sunscreens, isolation creams have purer ingredients, are easier to absorb, and can prevent dirty air and ultraviolet rays from damaging the skin.

2. The two most confusing categories of primer

There are roughly two types of isolation creams. One is also called primer. Because early makeup products contained ingredients that could damage the skin, adding a layer of isolation cream between skin care and makeup products can isolate the makeup from dirty air and make the makeup more delicate. Later, sunscreen ingredients were added to the isolation cream, and it became a sunscreen isolation cream.

The other type is actually sunscreen, which is called sunscreen isolation cream because it contains or completely uses physical sunscreens to block ultraviolet rays.

3. Use primer to remove makeup thoroughly

After using isolation cream, you should pay more attention to makeup removal, because isolation cream not only contains sunscreen, but also color powder. Therefore, you must use a full set of makeup removal steps and do not allow yourself to be lazy. Choose between cleansing oil, cleansing milk, or cleansing water according to your skin needs; then use a facial cleansing product to allow your skin to regain its ability to breathe freely.

4. The correct way to apply isolation cream

1. First apply to the protruding bones of the cheeks, using the middle finger and ring finger to gently apply from the inside to the outside.

2. The nose tends to be oily easily, so the less amount used, the better. The wings of the nose are prone to accumulation of primer, so use the powder puff to apply with a pressing motion.

3. Apply the product on your chin in circular motions. Also use a powder puff to lightly apply on the extended face and neck.

4. Apply from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye, pressing lightly with the middle and ring finger. The end of the eye is not easy to reach, so you can use one hand to gently pull up the corner of the eye.

5. Subtle areas such as hairline and corners of mouth are easily overlooked, so press gently with a powder puff.
