Begin your makeup routine on freshly cleansed skin to remove overnight oil, sweat, and bacteria.
Opt for moisturizers with ceramides, squalane, or niacinamide to support your skin barrier before applying makeup.
Choose a primer designed for your skin type (hydrating, mattifying, calming, etc.). It creates a protective layer between skin and makeup.
Choose foundations, concealers, and powders labeled non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) and avoid heavy fragrances or alcohols.
Apply a lightweight, broad-spectrum SPF 30+ before makeup every day — rain or shine.
Start with a cleansing oil or balm to break down makeup, followed by a gentle water-based cleanser to fully purify the skin.
At least once a week, go makeup-free and focus on nourishing skincare (think masks, hydration, and serums).
