I use a moisturiser prior to foundation when i make up, but my skin still looks soooo dry. especially my nose and chin area. how can i prevent this? i am using clinique sos anti blemish foundation by the way.. it’s not the foundation that makes my skin dry, i can tell because i have tried hundreds of different foundations too and still seen no difference. what should i do to prevent dry skin after foundation?
Re: Skin seems dry after foundation, what to use?
Three things:
Exfoliate once a week...that helps with dry skin
Find a better moisturizer...something that will prevent dry skin
Find a different method of application - I have dry skin on my cheeks sometimes and for my foundation routine I use the Beauty Blender. If you don't want to spend too much $ then get the Target knock off by Sonia Kashuk.
Re: Skin seems dry after foundation, what to use?
^ I have extremely dry skin and the things I have learnt over time are:
- Moisturize well before. Like 5 mins or so before you apply your foundation so that it sinks in your skin
- NEVER rub sponges ( especially your hands - when ever I apply with my hands I always get flakes all over my forehead and cheeks). Patting is the way to go
- Use heavy brushes like blush brushes etc and pat the foundation all over your face. That's what I do. I am gonna buy Real Techniques expert face brush as it is very soft and totally what I want. But typical foundation brushes also leave me flaky as I swipe them.
Hope this helps!

Listen dear, if hv really tried lots of thng expensive one as well. Thats mean it is nt ur skin fault. It is abut food or lifestyle that is nt gud.
I hv also tried many cream and many any foundation. But cant satisfied.
Do this and check the diffremce.
Drink water after every half hour. Nt imp u take one glass . Can take half but u take, as summer is here and u badly need it.
Milk, milk, if u dont drink then take milkshake. But drink it.
Sleep. Sounded sleep 11-6 is best. Take it.
Tension free life. Dnt stress kya kron kaise hoga. Relax.
And last most imp, stop try product nw. Meet a dermelogist. And tell him u r extreme dry skin.
He will give vitamin. And cream as well. If he will nt give cream or lotion u ask him.
Wr do u live and wts ur age??
I hv also tried much. But nw hv get to knw vitamin is most imp. Then right facial according ur skin type.
Right face wash and righg lotion would be enough.
Then u need light coverage foundation and ur skin is ready.

mix your foundation in your moisturizer and apply. i used to have flaky skin on my cheeks/nose area after using foundation and mixing it with my moisturizer and applying like i would apply moisturizer (with fingers) really helped.
Re: Skin seems dry after foundation, what to use?
Use a more intensive moisturiser prior to foundation application and let it settle into your skin for atleast 5 mins.
I like using the Mac Fix+ spray to de -powder my face and also to hydrate. Try that or the Skindanavia sprays to set/finish your foundation and powder. That should help.

Use a primer.
Re: Skin seems dry after foundation, what to use?
use oil based foundation not water based foundation
apply nivea cream first on face and then foundation
