I think of foundation as clothing for my face. When I don’t wear it, my cheeks and nose are red and irritated. I’ve been wearing foundation almost daily since in my 20’s and I don’t have a line on my face now at 68. My mother has never worn foundation and even though she is in her 90’s her face has been very, very wrinkled since in her 40’s. I am very diligent with skincare too. I do a double cleanse at night, which I use a balm to remove my makeup and then a foaming cleanser to wash the balm and residue off. I also do a pumpkin enzyme face masque twice a week to keep my pores clean. But my face is neither dry or oily. I’m not sure if your skin is rebelling but I doubt the foundation was hurting it.
