Listener Michelle suggested a solution to why Wendy's foundation crumbles after her morning routine. Catch up with last week's episode: Drug Store Skin Care Favorites Too much serum or vitamin C serum used. You only need a pea sized amount. Serums need time to soak in and dry before applying foundation or moisturizer. If you're using an exfoliant based serum, try using only at night instead. It may not be the serum. Many sunscreens cause foundation piling. Let the layers dry completely before moving onto the next product. If you tap your face and it feels sticky or dewy, wait.
