Layers on face in morning

10 replies

If you were putting on fairly full coverage foundation for a normal day's activities - including a fair bit outdoors - what do you put on your skin first?

Watched a few youtube vids and they put on layer upon layer before even getting to the foundation.

I have sensitive skin, so most things make it pretty red. (Hence half the need for foundation, although I probably need it anyway). I have just been putting a moisturiser with SPF - either Medic8 factor 30 or Paula's Choice factor 50.

What about serum and magic creams etc? And primer?

Fancy creams are for evening routine. I would add in a vit c in the morning but no clue when

This morning I applied a serum, a thin layer of hydrating serum and my No 7 foundation with spf. Usually I apply my HA first but decided to apply what I usually use as my evening serum instead.

My face can't tolerate spf it just breaks me out.
I don't have any wrinkles though because I've been wearing foundation with spf everyday of my adult life so I'm not too bothered.

My “layers” are line correcting serum on lines, serum on rest of face (and neck & décolleté), moisturiser (with SPF), serum. I don’t use foundation as such, just a touch of concealer where needed.

I use serum, eye cream and night cream at night with a retinol booster a couple of times a week.
