Primer Points
So what is a primer you ask? A primer prepares your skin for the next step, whether it is priming it for makeup or simply priming your skin so that you’re ready to face the world. It is a step that people frequently miss out in their routines, mostly because of unknown benefits to your skin. A good primer will:
-
Seal pores
-
Soften skin
-
Reduce redness
-
Extra hydration
-
Help with acne scars
-
Promote even skin tone
-
Smooth and lock in makeup
-
Block out environmental stressors
The best primers are used after moisturising and before putting on your base. They work to even out skin texture as well as providing a nice smooth base for makeup application. “Primers are good because they are a skin protectant and act as a water repellent by forming a protective barrier on the skin,” Dr. Debra Jaliman explains. “They spread easily and leave a silky, smooth base for makeup application.” “Makeup stays on longer when the correct primer is used,” she says. Often, face primers are formulated with ingredients to combat skin concerns like enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, excess oil, dehydration and ageing skin. The best bit is that all primers can be worn by themselves for an extra glow, if you prefer a bare and natural face.
