I use facial moisturizer every day, SPF 15.
And then I put on a light layer of liquid foundation.
I can’t put moisturizer on after, it smears.
I’m really used to this routine, every morning before school.
Is my skin still getting the protection it needs?

Yes, your skin is getting the protection. However, you’re doing the very minimum. Here’s sharing with you an advanced skincare regime before applying makeup to preserve your face in tip-top condition.
After cleansing your face (with cleanser),
Step 1: Toner
Step 2: Eye gel / cream
Step 3: Essence / Ampoule (ampoule can be used once a week)
Step 4: Moisturiser
Step 5: Water-based hydra booster (to lock the moisture in your skin) (optional)
Step 6: Moisturiser (for double protection)
Step 7: Sunblock (use foundation with higher SF then skip this if you want)
Finally… foundation with SPF.
I’ve started this skincare regime since 21 years old. Now at 27, people are all saying I look like 21 and not more than 24 years old even though I use makeup regularly. My advice is to give your face the due skincare attention it deserves in exchange for a beautiful makeup face.
It sounds like the perfect routine for you. It really depends on if it works. If it works you should stick with it. If It doesn’t try going to OlayForYou.com and it can tell you what products are right for you by taking a small skin quiz. So It really sounds like you are getting the right protection. Also it depends on how sunny it is. SPF 15 may be good for Autumn, Spring, And winter but you may want to get like SPF 30 moisturizer for summer =]
1 layer of lotion is plenty! makeup already protects ur face, btw. ur body needs some sunlight to make vit. d. i wear face lotion w/sunscreen in it every day, and in the summer, i simply put on regular sunscreen on my arms & other exposed skin.
Nope. You don’t put moisturizer on after foundation, you put it on before! Its so important to wear moisturizer under your makeup, it will help prevent any breakouts and clogging. Do you set your foundation with a powder?
