What is isolation cream? Can isolation replace sun protection?

Generally speaking, when summer comes, many girls will fully arm themselves. For example, many girls will apply isolation cream and sunscreen on themselves every day, but even so, many girls actually don’t. Understand what a barrier cream is, and many people even think that a barrier cream can replace sunscreen. So what is a barrier cream? Can isolation replace sun protection?

1. What is an isolation product?

A: The concept of "isolation" was originally a promotion method for a certain brand of sunscreen. Due to the popularity of this "isolation cream", " "Isolation" officially appeared in people's field of vision. But what the beauty editor wants to declare is: Sensational slogans such as blocking ultraviolet rays, blocking makeup and dirty air, and blocking radiation all exaggerate the effect of isolation cream! Today’s isolation cream is more like a combination of sunscreen + makeup primer .

2. Can isolation replace sunscreen?

A: Many isolation creams have SPF values, but they are definitely not as good as professional sunscreens in terms of sun protection. It’s absolutely fine to use sunscreen when indoors or when the sun is not strong, but if the sun is shining brightly, it’s better to use professional sunscreen!

3. Is sunscreen the same as makeup primer?

A: Primers mainly from European and American brands have the main function of "modifying skin tone and making subsequent base makeup fit better", while foundation creams mainly from Japanese and Korean brands are more focused on "brightening skin tone". Editors can decide to use two or one type based on personal needs.

PS: Products labeled Primer mostly refer to makeup primer, but for the sake of grounding, they are sometimes translated as primer.
