There are many beauty (and non-beauty) products that we like to use differently than what they were designed for and in the vast majority of cases they work. Although the product that we bring you today is a classic of Spanish dressing tables and its multitude of uses seem to have no end. We talk once again about the famous Nivea cream from the blue can.
Today we come with another beauty use that is one of the best tricks that makeup artists use to make facial skin look radiant and with a lot of glow.
It consists of using the usual Nivea cream as a primer, that way the skin will not only be super hydrated, juicy and elastic, but also the makeup base will look even more beautiful and will stay fresh for hours, without dry patches or a stiff effect.
Now, we have to say that the skins that will benefit the most from this cream as a primer are dry skin, prone to dehydration and of course mature skin that usually needs extra nutrition and also luminosity. And all thanks to the fact that in its composition ingredients with moisturizing and emollient capacity are used, such as liquid paraffin, which, as this chemist comments, forms a protective layer on the skin, preventing moisture from escaping.
If at this point you are already wanting to start this beauty tip before putting on your makeup, first let us tell you the perfect way to do it.
The simple trick to have glowing skin
If the Nivea cream is characterized by something, it is for being a dense and creamy cream, which provides a lot of hydration, which keeps the skin juicy and comforted throughout the day. Its high capacity to nourish helps make expression lines less noticeable and the glow effect is immediate. But also, any base that we apply next will be uniform and with a natural luminosity.
You probably already have this cream at home and you really want to try how it works as a primer, because here we tell you the correct way to do it to achieve that unmatched glowing skin. On a clean face we will apply a small amount, and here is the key, not to overdo it with the product so as not to overload the skin and prevent the foundation from melting. So, we will take a little, warm it with our fingers and spread it over our face. Then we will apply the base, always a thin layer and also the concealer, if we wish we can apply loose powder to seal both the T zone and the area of dark circles.
