How should I apply the cream to ensure it absorbs fully and creates a good base for makeup?

Start with a clean, dry face. Dispense a small amount—roughly the size of a pea—onto your fingertip. Using light, outward motions, spread the cream evenly across the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin and neck. Avoid vigorous rubbing; gentle patting or circular movements help the light texture integrate without stressing the skin. After application, wait a few minutes (ideally 2‑3 minutes) to allow the formula to fully absorb. This short waiting period is important because it gives the plant‑based softening agents time to smooth the surface and creates a matte, non‑sticky base that helps foundation or BB cream sit smoothly and last longer.

If you apply makeup immediately after the cream, the remaining moisture can cause the products to slide or crease throughout the day. The brief pause also lets you assess whether any areas feel slightly tight or dry, allowing you to add a tiny touch‑up of the cream only where needed. This method minimizes the chance of pilling or uneven texture under makeup.
