Monistat Gel as a Face Primer?! o_O


I thought the exact same thing like what many of you are probably thinking right now! There is no way I am putting vagina yeast cream on my face! But I did further research just to see how ludicrous and to seek some form of truth! All I have to say is, I would give it a try since its only about $7 (1.5oz) and my MAC face primer is out -_-

Monistat's Chafing Relief Powder-Gel is actually a gel to prevent chaffing of the skin on thighs, breast, or anywhere with moisture. It also helps prevent and clear rashes from irritation by keeping the applied area dry.

Why It Works
The secret ingredient in Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel is dimethicone, which is found in all the high-end foundation/face primers. Dimethicone is a silicone emollient (a skin softener) that forms a silky, breathable barrier between the skin on your face and your foundation.

This dimethicone barrier has 3 benefits:

1> This barrier locks in your moisturizer under your make-up to keep your skin nourished.

2> The dimethicone barrier prevents oils from your skin from breaking through to your foundation. Since the oils can't get through, your skin never looks greasy or oily. No more blotting.

3> While dimethicone prevents oil from getting out, it also prevents your foundation from getting in. This means that your skin won't absorb your makeup so your makeup looks fresh all day, even on hot days. It holds makeup in place so well and for so many hours, many women report that they have stopped powdering their faces, giving their skin a more natural, youthful look.

How to Use It
You want to use the Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel after you apply your moisturizer but before you apply your foundation.

In other words, use whatever products you normally apply to your clean, dry face, followed by a medium coat of the Monistat Powder-Gel. Wait about 2 minutes for the Monistat to dry, then apply your foundation as usual.

When applying the Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel, be sure to concentrate on areas that are deeply lined and/or rough in texture to help fill-in and smooth-out. Also focus on problem oil areas like the chin and sides of nose.

P.S. I will update more about this once I get my hands on em!
