Foundation primer clumping up and flaking. Why?

Hi everyone! Read for Thanksgiving?

I purchased my first and only foundation primer from BeneFit Cosmetics - the POREfessional back in April.

I've been having such a great experience with this prime - everything goes on nice and smooth and does what it's supposed to do... until now.

Why is the primer suddenly clumping up and flaking now?

Or maybe I'm putting on too much and not realizing it? Hm...

If you've had it for a while, could it be that the product has separated? Maybe shake the container before you use it?

maybe it's your skin that's changing. Becoming dryer in these colder months?

Layering too much of the ingredient called dimethicone will make the ingredient "ball" up. It might be that you have it in your moisturizer in a high concentration, so when you layer on the primer on top, that's why it could be doing that. Just use less or change your moisturizer and you'll be fine.

You know what... Maybe it IS the moisturizer. I know I've been using a different moisturizer lately. Thank you so much for all your help! We'll see what happens when I go back to my previous one.
