Using sunscreen as a barrier cream? No wonder you can’t get fair skin!

The sun is strong in the summer, and the strong ultraviolet rays can penetrate everywhere. Sunscreen has become a must-have sunscreen weapon for every girl. Many girls don’t know the difference between sunscreen and isolation cream, and even use them as the same skin care product. In fact, sunscreen is not the same as isolation cream.

1. The difference between sunscreen and primer

Difference 1: Sunscreen can also protect against makeup

In addition to sunscreen, sunblock also contains antioxidants, whitening ingredients or vitamins. Compared with ordinary sunscreen, sunblock is more refined and easier to absorb, and can prevent dirty air and ultraviolet rays from damaging the skin.

Difference 2: Sunscreen is a professional sunscreen product

Relatively speaking, sunscreen is a professional sunscreen product. Sunscreen can not only prevent the skin from being tanned, but also effectively protect the skin from sunburn.

Difference 3: Primer is a base makeup product that mainly reduces the damage of makeup to the skin

Sunscreen not only has the function of sun protection, but also has the function of sun protection makeup. Sunscreen is a base makeup product that can handle daily sun protection and sun protection work. In addition, most sun protection products can prevent premature aging of the skin and reduce the damage of makeup to the skin.

2. Similarities between sunscreen and primer

Sunscreen and isolation cream both have the function of sun protection. Sunscreen effectively prevents the production of melanin, so that the skin will not get dark or damaged by the sun, and can always maintain youthful and moisturized. The working principle of sunscreen is to isolate the skin from ultraviolet rays. Isolation cream is an important step to protect makeup and skin.

The sunblock cream does have a sunscreen effect on UV rays, and its essence is sunscreen! The sunscreen used in the sunblock cream is the same as that used in sunscreen, and is usually divided into two categories: organic sunscreen and physical sunscreen. Organic sunscreen reacts with UV rays to change the wavelength of UV rays, turning UV rays that are harmful to the skin into harmless ones; physical sunscreens mainly rely on the principle of refraction to block UV rays.

3. How to whiten your skin: sunscreen or barrier cream?

If you are an office worker and only encounter sunlight on your way to and from get off work, you only need to apply some sunscreen and there is no need to apply another layer of sunscreen; but if you need to stay outdoors in strong sunlight for a long time, it is still safe to use a high-factor sunscreen.

In addition, using a primer before putting on makeup is to provide the skin with a clean and gentle environment, forming a "front line" of defense against external invasion. However, if you do not remove makeup carefully after applying a primer, it will directly lead to dull skin, lack of healthy luster, loose skin texture, and acne. You must pay attention to it.

4. Whitening Tips: Remember to remove makeup after applying sunscreen and primer

Remember to remove makeup after using sunscreen and primer, especially waterproof products. If you don’t remove makeup thoroughly, primer residue will remain on your face, which will clog your pores. The consequences are imaginable. Although primers have skin care ingredients marked on them, they are still base makeup products after all. Don’t use them as skin care products before going to bed.

Sunscreen is a sunscreen for the face. Compared with ordinary sunscreen, sunscreen has more refined ingredients, is easier to absorb, and can prevent makeup and dirty air from damaging the skin. Some sunscreens have special color-enhancing functions. The so-called color-enhancing function is because there are substances added for sunscreen. If it is rubbed finely, it will have a light color-enhancing function.
