Why use a primer before sunscreen

We all need a good sunscreen when out and about, however we wonder if sunblock directly on your face everyday is good for you. A good “primer” will give you a level of both protection and preparation for makeup or sunscreen

Skincare and Makeup Primer benefits:       

• gives a smooth surface for foundation
• minimises large pores
• helps with a shinny appearance
• hydrates and calms inflammation
• helps your foundation and sunscreen stay on longer

• a suitable moisturiser such as a Dr.Hauschka’s day creams, Weleda’s Skin Food, a Plantae’s biogrow certified moisturiser
• follow with a layer of the Colour Correcting Powder (see above) or Foundation (if you plan to use one)
• lastly add your sunblock and we love Coola (the tube version have no nasties) or Andalou SPFs especially for the face.
