The best way to prevent wrinkles is to prevent them from happening in the first place. And one of the easiest ways to do that is with a good facial primer. A facial primer is a thin layer of makeup that you apply before your regular face cream or moisturizer. It helps set the stage for your skin care products to work their magic.
