Can isolation replace sunscreen? If you use it this way, you will only get darker.

Many young ladies are confused about the issue of isolation cream. Should I use isolation or sunscreen first? Can isolation replace sunscreen? Do I need to remove makeup after using primer? Let's take more than ten seconds to figure it out~!

Can isolation replace sunscreen?

Isolation cannot replace sunscreen, because most isolation creams cannot protect our skin from UV damage. In fact, isolation cream is part sunscreen and part primer, which needs to be identified based on the product label. Sunscreen is a professional sun protection product and is the basis of daily skin care. In addition to preventing photoaging, using sunscreen can also prevent skin cancer. Therefore, isolation is not a substitute for sun protection.

The role of isolation cream

Primer-type isolation creams: Those with words like Primer, Primer Base, Makeup Base, Base on the packaging are actually primers. Some of these primers can moisturize the skin, prevent dryness, powder sticking, and peeling, and make the base makeup adhere better. If these primers happen to be tinted, they will have the effect of evening out/correcting your skin tone.

There is no problem in mixing primers with different functions. You can choose combinations such as "moisturizing + tinted" or "oil control + tinted" according to your skin type.

Sunscreen isolation creams: Their English names include Sunscreen, Sun-blocker, Protector, Block, and Shield. These isolation creams are sunscreens.

The function of this type of isolation cream is to isolate ultraviolet rays, but its effectiveness may not be as good as professional sunscreen. Use it according to the environment you are in, and be sure to apply enough when using it to ensure it has a sun protection effect.

This kind of isolation cream is like a sunscreen - if you feel that the SPF is not enough in summer, use a high SPF one - there is no need to use sunscreen and isolation together.
