What are the primers suitable for oily skin?

Most people must be familiar with isolation cream. This is a kind of skin care cream that girls often wear. The main function of isolation cream is to protect the skin. After using isolation cream, you don’t have to worry about pores being blocked, and it can also ensure the skin is fresh and clean. For many friends with oily skin, what are the isolation creams suitable for oily skin?

The first function of primer: forming a protective screen between skin and makeup

Wearing makeup every day will directly lead to dull skin, lack of healthy luster, loose skin texture, and the breeding of acne. Using a primer before applying makeup is to provide the skin with a clean and gentle environment, forming a "front line" of defense against external invasion.

In fact, primer is an important step to protect makeup and skin. If you apply foundation without using a primer, the foundation will clog your pores and damage your skin. It will also easily cause the foundation to fall off, commonly known as "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.

But don’t think that everything will be OK as long as you apply a primer. If you don’t remove makeup and clean your skin carefully, your skin will also suffer misfortune.

Answer: You can choose a primer with a refreshing texture. The isolation creams on the market today include chemical isolation and physical isolation. The former has a lighter texture, but the chemicals it contains are likely to cause skin allergies, so it is not suitable for people with sensitive skin. However, physical isolation creams have a thick texture, which will make the skin feel stuffy and have difficulty breathing. The surface temperature will increase, making it easy to produce oil, so they are not suitable for oily skin. It is recommended that you pay attention to whether the packaging is labeled "non-comedogenic", which means "will not cause acne" in Chinese. Most of these isolation products are in lotion form, so you can use them with confidence if you have oily skin.

The second function of isolation cream: sun protection and isolation of dirty air

Some skin hazards are difficult to avoid. For example, even if you have a bare face, you cannot escape ultraviolet rays and pollutants in the air. The second major function of isolation cream is to block these two irresistible natural factors.

Some isolation creams do not have sun protection function and can only have a "dust protection" effect. However, most isolation creams have a certain sun protection index, so they have a certain anti-ultraviolet function. Generally speaking, an SPF15 sun protection cream can handle daily sun protection work.

Answer: Sunscreen only has the function of 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. If you are an office worker and only encounter the sun on your way to and from get off work, you only need to apply some primer and there is no need to apply another layer of sunscreen; but if you need to stay outdoors under strong sunlight for a long time, it is still necessary to use a high-factor sunscreen for safety.
