Why is your skin Oily, yet feels Tight and Dry?
Most women over 30 mistake this for a return of teenage acne. They try to "dry it out" with harsh scrubs and acids.
But that is exactly why it's not going away. What you are seeing is a Compromised Moisture Barrier. When you strip your skin with Zinc or aggressive actives, it panics. It overproduces oil to protect itself from the dryness, but underneath, the deep layers are dehydrated and irritated. You don't need less oil. You need a healthy barrier.
