Yes, foundation brushes with dense, synthetic bristles are excellent for applying skincare-infused BB creams or tinted sunscreens smoothly without dragging the skin. They provide even coverage that doesn't settle into fine lines.
Switch to a creamy, hydrating cleanser that doesn’t strip natural oils. Avoid foaming or gel-based cleansers that can further dry out the skin.
For severely dry, wrinkled elbows, use a moisturizer with a high percentage of urea (10% or more). Urea is a keratolytic agent, meaning it gently breaks down the tough, built-up layers of dead skin.
As skin becomes more delicate, use lighter pressure and patting motions rather than rubbing. Always apply products upward to counteract gravity's effects on aging skin.
