Even when I apply cosmetics, they don't absorb and keep rubbing off.

Even after applying cosmetics, they don't absorb and keep pilling... What could be the problem? ㅠㅠ

It doesn't soak in.

Lately, when I apply my basic skincare products, they don't absorb right into my skin but just linger on the surface.

It's coming out in a rush like dirt...

I am also being careful with exfoliation to minimize irritation.

I'm paying attention to hydration, so why is this happening?

I'm so frustrated wondering if my cosmetics aren't compatible or if I'm using them incorrectly, or if my skin barrier has just become too thick.

I want to fix this, but my makeup always looks cakey, so it’s frustrating.
