A guide to facial primers What is facial primer and why do you need it?

Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch facial primerA question that is often asked is: "what is facial primer and why do I need it?" It is a good question, especially in light of the fact that we hear more and more about this product every day. Although facial primer really isn’t exactly brand new, it has become more popular over the last couple of years, and today, it has become an integral part of a woman’s makeup kit.

Facial primer helps to smooth out the skin and prepare it to accept makeup application. Even the best cosmetics on the market today will go on better, smoother, and last longer once the skin has been properly primed for its application. Facial primers can also help deal with a myriad of skin problems. The trick, of course, is to find the right primer for your skin type, as well as one that will achieve whatever you want or need it to accomplish.

Most of today’s facial primers are geared to accomplish one or more things. Nearly all of them seek to make the skin a perfect canvas so that makeup will glide on easily and stay on until you are ready to take it off. But that isn’t all; some primers also correct problems that are inherent with skin. These include flaws and imperfections such as scars or pits left from acne, redness or sallowness, an uneven skin tone or texture, unusually dry or oily skin, fine lines and wrinkles, or enlarged pores. Others must soothe sore skin inflammations, moisturize and hydrate, as well as protect skin from harsh UV rays.
