How Do I Stop Foundation From Clinging To Dry Skin?
The best way to stop those crusty, orange, dry patches is to prepare you skin first. Exfoliate once a week, or opt for a gentle Daily Exfoliant, like Dermalogica Microfoliant*.
Make sure to use a Moisturiser that is heavy duty (No7 Beautiful Skin Day Cream for Dry / Very Dry Skin* is ideal) and work it into the skin at least ten minutes before applying any make-up. Rosehip Oil* is a great alternative to a Cream Moisturiser.
Your final step should be a primer... ideally something quenching for the skin like L'Oreal Infallible Anti-Fatigue Primer*.
