The biggest mistake people with oily/combination skin make is to try and 'strip' the skin during the cleansing stage - to the point where it squeaks (faints) - and then not apply anything else on top and just go.
Your face is not a shampoo advert.
You cannot just 'wash'n'go'. For the more lubricated of us:
- Cleanse your face with a good non-foaming cleanser (oil/balm/gel - no mineral oil and no fairy liquid).
- Exfoliate with an acidic toner.
- Spray hydrate.
- Apply a light serum to target specific skin conditions (ageing, pigmentation, scarring/dehydration etc) if that is a concern.
- Apply either a hyaluronic serum, or moisturiser, or even a facial oil designed for your skin type.
