Primers are a necessary evil in the standard beauty routine. They're necessary because they lock in your base, help with oil control, and provide a smooth, crease-free finish. But sometimes, they can clog your pores — which leads to breakouts, especially when you have sensitive skin.

Does primer ruin your skin?

The mineral powder in primers absorb your skin's natural oils, which urges to skin to produce its own oils in response. Additionally, makeup makes your skin dry out faster because they also contain mineral powders. When primers and makeup are used together, they cause your skin to produce excess oils.

Is it bad to wear primer everyday?

While you can use primer every day, it may not be necessary to. Depending on the makeup look you're after, you might find that you don't require primer, especially over your entire face.
