Solving inner dryness in oily skin

If you have oily skin that is shiny on the surface but tight underneath and causes your makeup to cake, properly replenishing moisture is more important than controlling oil.

After washing my face and letting it dry, I apply a hydrating toner twice within three seconds. For the first layer, I press it into my skin with my hands to help it absorb, and for the second, I soak a cotton pad and lightly wipe it on like a cleansing toner. Next, I apply a small amount of hyaluronic acid ampoule to create a moisture barrier, and for the cream, instead of an oil-heavy product, I spread a thin layer of a gel type.

In the morning, I don't use sebum-control powder right away; instead, after finishing with sunscreen, I apply a small amount only to the areas where oil starts to rise.

Using a mildly acidic exfoliating pad about twice a week in the evening to remove dead skin cells will significantly stabilize your oil-moisture balance. It is best to avoid washing your face vigorously or using alcohol-based toners to remove oil, as these can actually make your skin shinier.
