What is the difference between isolation cream and sunscreen? Which one should be used first?

Primer is a skin care product that protects the skin. It has a certain effect of isolating daily ultraviolet rays, so usually a layer of primer is applied before makeup. So what is the difference between primer and sunscreen? Which one should be used first?

Sunscreen is generally a white cream-like texture, while isolation cream can have many different colors. Sunscreen only has the function of sun protection, while isolation cream, in addition to the sun protection function, also contains antioxidant ingredients, whitening ingredients or vitamin ingredients. Compared with ordinary sunscreen, isolation cream ingredients are more refined, easier to absorb, and can prevent makeup and dirty air from damaging the skin. Isolation cream generally has two functions, one is to block ultraviolet rays, and the other is to form a protective film on the surface of the skin, effectively reducing the irritation and damage to the skin by the external environment, so if girls are less exposed to the sun, they can use isolation cream. The main function of sunscreen is to help protect the skin from the sun. Sunscreen generally does not have the isolation and protection effect of isolation cream, but the sun protection value is much better than isolation cream, so if you are often exposed to the sun or work outdoors, it is more suitable to choose sunscreen.

To understand the order of using isolation cream and sunscreen, you must remember a formula: sun protection is the last step of skin care, isolation is the first step of makeup. Isolation is the base before makeup, and it should be applied first when applying makeup. This not only isolates the contact between cosmetics and skin, but also makes the makeup more delicate and smooth. Sunscreen should be placed at the last step. Isolation cream prevents sunscreen from directly contacting the skin, replenishes some moisture to the skin first, and can also reduce irritation to the skin.

Separation cream has the function of sun protection. Separation cream contains sun protection factor, so it has a certain sun protection effect. However, the sun protection ability of separation cream is limited. If it is in the spring, autumn and winter seasons, when the ultraviolet rays are not very strong, you can use separation cream for sun protection. But in the hot summer, you need to use professional sunscreen products with a higher sun protection factor for sun protection and maintenance.

Separation cream has no whitening effect. If a separative cream has a whitening effect, then it may not be that good. Because the function of separative cream itself is not to whiten, but to isolate. In fact, the whitening effect of most base makeup products is not the most important, concealing blemishes and brightening are the most important. Sunscreen separative cream can play a role in whitening and sun protection, protect the skin from ultraviolet damage, provide light protection measures, and achieve sun protection, isolation and moisturizing at the same time. After daily skin care products and before makeup, take 2-3 drops and apply evenly on the face, neck, clavicle and other parts, and then apply foundation.
