A standout feature of primer is its ability to even out skin tone. For Asians, whose skin naturally reacts better to such products than Europeans, lightweight primers and BB creams that subtly adjust complexion—achieving the so-called "no-makeup makeup" look—are highly popular.
Thus, primers with SPF become the go-to choice for summer.Today's primers also incorporate antioxidants and brightening agents, delivering multiple benefits in one step.
However, primers with SPF tend to be oilier. While shielding against "sunlight, radiation, and pollution," their multifunctional formulas may slightly hinder skin respiration. The wisest approach is to weigh your needs and skin condition to determine what truly matters most to you.
That said, a sunscreen-infused primer still offers significant benefits for your skin.
BB creams and primers share a similar philosophy. BB creams pioneered the natural no-makeup makeup trend, demanding a flawless base that looks effortless and gives skin a luminous, translucent glow. This has made BB cream the focal point for the new generation of no-makeup makeup enthusiasts.
