Just as you would dust off a canvas before painting, its vital to you make sure your skin is not too dry or flaky under make-up. Regular cleansing and exfoliating before applying make-up keeps every product you put on your skin looking fresh and radiant, plus helps to minimise fine line and disguise large pores.
