What if your skin is oily but also feels dry from within?

Just because your face is oily does not mean that the moisture deep within your skin is sufficient.

If your skin feels tight immediately after washing your face but becomes oily over time, you need to check if you are using a product with strong cleansing power.

Washing your face multiple times or exfoliating frequently to remove sebum can put a strain on your skin barrier.

In such cases, it is recommended to wash your face gently and consistently use a moisturizer suitable for your skin condition.

Instead of unconditionally reducing oil, try focusing on balancing moisture and oil.

Also, it is not recommended to skip moisturizer entirely just because of excessive oiliness.

If you are concerned about both oiliness and dryness, it would be a good idea to start by reviewing the facial cleanser and basic skincare products you are currently using.
