What's the difference between a barrier cream and a sunscreen? Proper use steps of isolation and sun

In summer, all kinds of sunscreen will be on the market. How can girls get rid of sunscreen in summer. But when it comes to sunscreen, we are always confused with isolation cream. What's the difference between the two? Apply isolation first or sunscreen first?

Difference 1. Function

Generally speaking, sunscreen only has the function of sunscreen, while isolation cream adds anti oxidant ingredients and whitening or vitamin ingredients. So the cream not only has the function of sunscreen, but also has some other functions.

The second difference is type

Sunscreen is more used as skin care products to protect the skin from direct sunlight and ultraviolet rays. Isolation cream is more used as cosmetics, as a kind of cosmetics applied before base makeup, the effect is similar to that of pre makeup milk.

Difference 3. Cleaning method

Sunscreen can be used before or without makeup. You only need to clean your skin, then you can directly apply the cream, and you can wash it off with facial cleanser, while the isolation cream needs makeup remover.

Fourth, the order of use

Sunscreen and barrier cream are used in different order. Cream is used in mm after finishing basic skin care, make-up or other protective products before. Its main function is to isolate the skin irritation caused by follow-up cosmetics. And the ingredients of the isolation cream are more delicate and pure than those of the sunscreen, so if you need to use the isolation cream and sunscreen at the same time, you must first apply the isolation cream, and then use the sunscreen.

Sequence of sunscreen and barrier cream

Before applying sunscreen, you should first apply a layer of moisturizer, try not to let the sunscreen directly contact with the skin, which can not only add some water to the skin, but also reduce the skin irritation.

This is because sunscreen is harmful to the skin. The higher the SPF, the greater the damage. So before sunscreen, besides the make-up lotion, it is best to use isolation.

Isolation cream is generally used after basic skin care and before makeup or other protection. Basic steps of daily skin care: generally, after washing your face with facial cleanser, use toner (or softener), then use moisturizer, then isolate, and then sunscreen.

The isolation cream generally separates the dirty air from the skin, which has the function of sunscreen and radiation protection. However, the sunscreen factor of the general isolation cream is lower, which is much less than the general sunscreen on the skin irritation, so when there is no need for severe sunscreen, it is generally OK to apply the isolation cream directly after the basic skin care.

When the UV is strong, you need to use sunscreen with a certain SPF, because the sunscreen with high SPF is generally more irritating to the skin, so you can use it after the isolation cream to increase the sunscreen effect.
