This is just too weird. Apparently some people use Monistat as a cheaper alternative to face primer. I find the concept a little strange but when you think about it, Monistat is really just another lotion designed for irritated skin — why shouldn’t it be used on your face?

Don’t run out and buy the traditional Monistat cream designed to treat yeast infections — this is the Anti-Chafing Gel that we’re talking about. It has an ingredient in common with some primers called dimethicone, which I’m guessing is what gives the gel that powdery feeling after. If anyone is brave enough to test this out, let me know! Some people have even compared it to Smashbox’s Photo Finish Primer!
