Have you ever wondered how celebrities get that gorgeous glow to their skin? While they may have access to the best skin care experts in the world, they also know a secret that more and more women are discovering. It’s a product they apply before their foundation called skin primers. Skin primers have become a trendy item in the celebrity and modeling world for good reason. These primers can help to hide that “I just woke up look” while they reduce fine lines and give your skin a subtle glow.
While you may not feel like you need another product to apply in the morning, skin primers may be worth the extra effort. Many of these products are silicone based and can fill in flaws and imperfections such as large pores, blemishes, and skin discolorations making them appear less noticeable. Similar to how you apply a primer to a wall before applying a coat of paint, skin primers allow the foundation and make-up you placed on top to look smoother and more polished.
Other advantages to using skin primers is they help to prolong the life of your make-up and helps to normalize skin texture by soaking up excess oils to reduce shine and binding moisture to keep skin moist throughout the day if you suffer from dry skin. Skin primers provide a great deal of functionality for a single, relatively inexpensive product.
How do skin primers work? The two active ingredients in most of the skin primers are dimethicone and cyclomethicone which smooth and reflect the light so your skin looks more translucent with an almost dewy glow that’s characteristic of youth. Many skin primers contain natural botanicals to further enhance skin health.
How are skin primers applied to the face? After cleansing your skin, moisturizing, and applying your sunscreen, a small amount is applied to the fingertips and gently smoothed over the entire face. Once the skin primer has been allowed to dry for at least two minutes, your foundation can be applied in the usual manner followed by your regular makeup. You should notice that your make-up goes on more smoothly and any skin imperfections are less noticeable. The application of a skin primer should only add a few additional minutes to your normal beauty routine. The reward will be more flawless looking skin. You may even find you need less make-up to enhance your skin when you apply a skin primer.
The next time you’re at your favorite cosmetic counter, ask the technician for a sample of a skin primer and try it on your own skin. You can also find less expensive versions at local drugstores that sell cosmetics.
