Which should I use first, spray sunscreen or primer? What is the correct way to use it?

If many girls are just beginning to learn about sun protection, they may not be able to clearly distinguish between sunscreen spray and sunscreen cream. So, what is the difference between them? Today, let me give you some scientific knowledge.

Which should I use first, spray sunscreen or primer?

Use isolation cream first and then sunscreen spray. Generally, apply a layer of isolation cream on the skin first to form a protective film on the skin, and then spray sunscreen spray to reapply sunscreen. In order to better protect against ultraviolet rays, it is best to use sunscreen before applying isolation cream.

The difference between sunscreen spray and isolation cream

Nowadays, many isolation creams contain a small amount of sunscreen, so isolation cream actually has a certain sunscreen function. Sunscreen spray is a skin care product specifically for sun protection. Sunscreen can prevent the skin from being tanned and sunburned by ultraviolet rays in the sun. It’s just that the texture of sunscreen spray is much lighter than sunscreen, and it needs to be sprayed on the skin more than ten times to achieve the protective effect of a small amount of sunscreen. Therefore, sunscreen spray is generally only recommended as a reapply for sunscreen. You still need to use special sunscreen before that.

How to use sunscreen spray correctly

If used on the face, the correct way to use the sunscreen spray is to spray it on the palm of your hand first, and then apply it evenly on your face with gentle pressure. Be sure not to spray directly on the face, as it can easily get into the eyes, nose or mouth. If you use the sunscreen spray on your body, spray it directly 15 cm away from your skin and then spread it evenly.

The correct way to apply primer

When applying primer, be sure to apply it to the protruding parts of the cheek bones first, and use your middle and ring fingers to apply it gently from the inside to the outside. The nose is the most oily part of the face, so the amount of primer used in this area should be as little as possible. Apply it gently from top to bottom. The wings of the nose are prone to accumulation of primer, so use a powder puff to apply it in a pressing manner. Then apply it on your chin in a circular motion. Don't forget the area under the eyes. Apply from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye, pressing lightly with the middle and ring fingertips.
