Why use a primer before sunscreen
07/Nov/2018
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
Start by cleansing and toning as part of your morning routine, then apply the following:
- 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.
To enhance you skin/s renewal at night, always use a gentle cream cleanser and a light moisturising serum instead of a heavy cream at night to allow your skin to breathe and detox.
