How to Layer SPF, Skincare & Foundation Like a Pro

When it comes to summer skincare and makeup, layering is everything.

With SPF, moisturizers, serums, and foundation all vying for space on your skin, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, or worse, find your products pilling, melting off, or simply not doing their job.

The good news? You don’t have to choose between protection and performance. With the right order and the right formulas, your skin can stay glowing, guarded, and gorgeous all summer long.

Step 1: Start with Smart Skincare

Think of skincare as your canvas. After cleansing, apply a lightweight serum or treatment that suits your skin’s current needs, hydration, brightening, or barrier repair.

Follow up with a non-greasy moisturizer like Oxygenating Hydro-Matrix that layers well and absorbs quickly. Let each product fully absorb before moving on to the next. Patience here prevents pilling later.

Step 2: SPF — Always

No exceptions. SPF should always be the final step of your skincare routine. Look for a broad-spectrum, mineral-based sunscreen that offers at least SPF 30. Apply generously (more than you think) and allow it to fully dry before makeup.

This step is your best defense against UV damage, premature aging, and hyperpigmentation. And yes, even if it’s cloudy.

Step 3: Concealer that Stays Put

Oxygenating Concealer covers dark spots, bruising, and redness with ease while staying lightweight and silky smooth. 

The best part? This concealer will stay put all day, even when applied after skincare and SPF!

Step 4: Foundation that Breathes 

This is where Oxygenetix shines. Unlike traditional foundations that can interfere with your SPF or feel heavy in the heat, Oxygenetix Foundations were formulated to layer beautifully, without disrupting your protection underneath.
