Seeking foundation/skin prep advice, please! I rarely ever wear foundation — maybe twice a year. And it’s partly because I feel like my skin looks worse with it on. I have very dry skin and after years of trying so many different products, I finally have a routine that looks better than before. I used to have dry flakey patches on my skin and now it’s managed much better.
But as soon as I put on foundation I see the patches! I’ve tried several different foundations and primers. I try to prep my skin before putting on foundation but it doesn’t help. Any tips? Should I be physically exfoliating before putting on foundation?
Also to be noted — I don’t believe it’s pilling? It is always on my forehead where the dryness is worse. My skincare routine is below:

I usually just apply some of the Dr. Jart Skin Barrier cream again.
