5 Skin-Prep Steps for a Smooth, Flawless Makeup Base
A great makeup look starts with clean, hydrated skin. Begin with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and excess oil. Use micellar water only when you need extra cleansing or to remove lingering residue, without drying out your face. Exfoliate gently when needed to smooth flaky patches and uneven texture. Avoid over-exfoliating, especially if your skin is sensitive. Follow with a hydrating mist or essence and a moisturiser suited to your skin type. Let each layer absorb properly. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning, even when you plan to wear full makeup. Once your sunscreen has settled, use a primer that suits your desired finish. A good primer can help control shine, blur the look of pores or create a dewy base while helping makeup last longer.
