01Seals pores

When you wear a silicone based primer, it sits on top of your pores and forms and impenetrable layer. This blocks moisture from entering your skin, which may lead to dull skin.
02Traps dirt and debris in your pores
;Resize=(296,167))
Silicone based primers create a layer on top of your skin, restricting anything from getting in and out of it. What this means is that all the dirt and sebum from day get trapped into your pores, leading to inflammation and acne.
03Enlarges pores

You wear a primer to minimise the appearance of pores, but a silicone based primer traps the dirt into your pores, enlarging them in the process. This is why in the long run, silicone-based primers do the exact opposite of what they claim.
04Prevents other ingredients from being absorbed into the skin

As silicone tends to create a film on the skin, the nourishing ingredients from the rest of your makeup products fail to penetrate into the skin and provide the benefits that they are meant to.
05Does not allow beneficial ingredients to seep into skin

When you use a primer that boasts of skin loving ingredients, but also contains silicones, it more often than not will fail at its skin nourishing claims. They'd only provide a short-term smoothening effect but are also harming your skin at the same time.
