The reasons why your foundation doesn't stick to your skin are surprisingly common. For example, dry skin, excessive sebum production, and the accumulation of dead skin cells. If your skin is uneven, your foundation won't apply evenly and will easily come off. Insufficient or excessive skin care can also have an effect. Furthermore, if you don't apply your foundation properly or use the right tools, it can also cause the foundation to not stick to your skin properly. As a simple solution, it's important to know how to properly wash your makeup sponge.

Reasons why foundation doesn't adhere
If it is caused by a skin condition
Poor adhesion due to dryness
Foundation doesn't adhere well to dry skin. This is because dry skin has a rough surface, which makes it difficult for foundation to spread evenly. Skin is especially susceptible to losing moisture in the winter or in air-conditioned rooms. Daily moisturizing care is essential to prevent dryness. Using skin care products rich in moisturizing ingredients helps keep skin hydrated.
Breakdown due to excess sebum
If you have a lot of sebum, your foundation may float. This is especially true in areas where sebum is easily produced, such as the T-zone, where foundation can easily come off over time. In this case, it's important to choose skin care products that control sebum and foundations that have sebum-absorbing properties. For example, powder-type foundations that contain less oil and suppress sebum are effective in preventing foundation from coming off.
Unevenness due to accumulation of dead skin cells
When dead skin cells build up on your skin, foundation can become uneven. This is because dead skin cells cause the skin surface to become uneven. Exfoliating once or twice a week can help smooth out your skin and make your foundation adhere better. However, be careful not to overdo it, as it can damage your skin.
Skin care deficiencies
Lack of moisture or excessive care
If you don't moisturize enough, your skin will dry out and foundation will not adhere well to your skin. On the other hand, excessive skin care can also be a problem. For example, if you apply too much oily cream, your foundation will slip easily. Be sure to use the right amount and use skin care that suits your skin condition.
Problems with choosing skin care products
If your skin care products don't suit your skin, your foundation won't adhere to your skin. For example, if you have oily skin and you use a product that contains a lot of oil, it will cause excess sebum production. It's important to choose a product that suits your skin type.
Problems with choosing and applying foundation
Using foundation that doesn't suit your skin type
If the foundation does not suit your skin type, it will not adhere well to your skin. For example, if a person with dry skin uses a matte foundation, it will dry out their skin even more. On the other hand, if a person with oily skin uses a foundation with a high oil content, it will easily come off. It is important to choose a foundation that suits your skin type.
Improper application or tool usage
How you apply foundation and the tools you use also affect how it adheres to your skin. For example, if you apply it by hand instead of using a sponge or brush, it's easy to get uneven application. Also, if your sponge or brush is dirty, the foundation won't spread evenly. It's important to keep your tools clean and use them properly.

How to improve your skin condition
The importance of moisturizing care and specific methods
Dry skin is a major reason why foundation doesn't adhere to the skin. Dry skin has a rough surface, and foundation doesn't spread evenly. By taking thorough moisturizing care, you can keep your skin moisturized and improve the adhesion of the foundation.
To help with moisturizing, try the following:
Moisturize immediately after washing your face : After washing your face, your skin is prone to dryness, so use plenty of lotion to replenish moisture to your skin.
Use a cream rich in moisturizing ingredients : Choosing a cream containing hyaluronic acid or ceramides will help your skin retain moisture better.
Intensive nighttime care : Using a moisturizing mask before bed will leave your skin feeling moisturized the next morning.
Key point : Funny Elves' "Longwear Air Cushion Foundation" contains moisturizing ingredients specifically designed for dry skin. By using this, you can achieve moisturizing care and foundation adhesion at the same time.
Frequency of exfoliation and precautions
When dead skin cells accumulate, the surface of the skin becomes uneven, making foundation more likely to apply unevenly. By incorporating exfoliation once or twice a week, you can keep your skin smooth and supple.
When exfoliating, pay attention to the following:
Be gentle with your scrubs : scrubbing too hard can irritate your skin.
Choose a peeling agent : Choose one that contains ingredients that are gentle on the skin.
Moisturize after treatment : After exfoliation, your skin can easily become dry, so be sure to moisturize it thoroughly.
Proper Skin Care Procedure
Basic steps of skin care
Taking basic skin care steps can make a big difference in how well your foundation adheres to your skin. Just follow these steps:
Facial cleansing : Thoroughly removes dirt and excess sebum from the skin.
Toner : Hydrates and softens the skin.
Serum : If necessary, use a serum that addresses your skin concerns.
Lotion or cream : Seals moisture and protects the skin.
Tip : For your morning skincare routine, using a light lotion or gel-type cream will help your foundation not slide around easily.
Preparing the base before applying foundation

How to wash a makeup sponge
Keeping your makeup sponge clean is very important for maintaining healthy skin. Continuing to use a dirty sponge can cause rough skin and makeup to come off. Here we will explain in detail how often to wash it, the specific cleaning procedure, and how to dry it.
Recommended washing frequency
Should I wash every day or how many times a week?
How often you wash your makeup sponge depends on how often you use it and the condition of your skin. If you wear makeup every day, it's best to ideally wash it every day. If you have particularly sensitive skin, make sure to wash it frequently, as foundation and sebum left on the sponge can cause skin problems.
However, sometimes it's hard to wash your sponge every day due to your busy schedule. In that case, try to wash it at least 2-3 times a week. This will help reduce the amount of dirt and germs that accumulate on the sponge.
Tip : Using a clean sponge will give you a perfect foundation finish.
Washing Procedure
How to use warm water and special detergent
The most effective way to clean your makeup sponge is to use a cleaner designed for this purpose. To do so, follow these steps:
-
Prepare a basin or bowl with lukewarm water at about body temperature.
Add an appropriate amount of special detergent to lukewarm water. Start with just one pump, and if dirt is difficult to remove, add a little at a time.
Soak a sponge in lukewarm water and gently scrub the item. Repeatedly scrub the item while checking to see if any dirt comes out.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to ensure no detergent remains on the sponge.
Caution : Residual detergent may cause skin irritation, so be sure to rinse thoroughly.
Introducing easy substitutes
If you don't have a special detergent on hand, you can use a mild detergent or dishwashing detergent instead. However, these detergents tend to remain on the sponge, so you will need to rinse them off carefully.
If you use a neutral detergent, dilute it in lukewarm water before use.
-
Similarly, use dishwashing detergent by dissolving a small amount in lukewarm water.
Tip : Always dilute detergent in warm water before applying it directly to the sponge to avoid damaging the sponge.
Drying method and storage precautions
How to dry sponges without damaging them
How you dry your items after washing is also important. Leaving them wet makes it easier for bacteria to grow. Follow these steps to dry them:
After washing, gently press the sponge to remove excess water. Be careful not to squeeze it too hard as this can damage the sponge.
Wrap it in a clean towel to absorb more moisture.
Allow to air dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight as this can cause the sponge to deteriorate.
Tip : If the sponge is not dried properly, it may go moldy, so make sure to dry it completely.
How to store it to keep it clean
It is important to store your dry sponges in a clean place. Here are some tips to help you:
Store in a breathable case or bag.
Avoid humid places.
Storing it separately from other cosmetics will prevent dirt and germs from building up.
Recommendation : The special puff that comes with Funny Elves' Long-Wear Air Cushion Foundation can also be washed and stored in the same way to keep it clean and in good condition for a long time.
