Morning skincare routine to prevent makeup from smudging

If you spent a lot of time applying makeup in the morning but your foundation smudges or looks cakey, it bothers you all day long.

To reduce this phenomenon, it is important to properly replenish the moisture your skin needs rather than applying a lot of basic products.

The method I recommend is as follows.

🌷 First, do not overwash your face in the morning.

If you wash your face too vigorously to remove all the oil secreted while you sleep, your skin may become dry. Please choose a water wash or a mild cleanser depending on your skin condition.

🌷 Second, use only an appropriate amount of basic products.

Apply a thin layer of toner and moisturizer and allow time for absorption. Applying multiple products at once may cause your makeup to smudge.

🌷 Third, do not skip sunscreen.

Apply a sufficient amount after your basic skincare products, and wait for it to adhere well before applying makeup.

🌷 Fourth, apply foundation thinly.

Applying a thin layer and reapplying only to the necessary areas helps reduce clumping rather than applying a large amount at once.

🌷 Fifth, do not overdo the exfoliation.

Exfoliating every day because your makeup looks cakey can actually irritate your skin more. It is best to manage it gently while monitoring your skin condition.

In conclusion, to create skin that holds makeup well, it is more important to follow the sequence of cleansing, proper moisturizing, sun protection, and a light base makeup application rather than using multiple products starting in the morning.

I would especially like to start by reducing the habit of applying multiple layers of basic skincare products.
