Normal:
✅ Skin feeling oily after wearing a mask.

✅ Your T-zone getting oily by midday or even after a commute.

✅ A bit of white stuff come out the pores of your nose when you squeeze them.

𝗔𝗯𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹:
🙄 Products misleading you to believe they can ~STOP~ oiliness.

You may ask, "Doc paano yun? Oily talaga na extreme, yung tipong napakakintab and lampas na sa dewy? 😔"

Let me emphasize first: sebum or oil is needed by the skin to protect it from drying out and from infections, not to mention it helps maintain the skin's protective barrier.

Once you're familiar with its importance, marirealize mo na, "oh it's not so bad and it can actually do harm if tanggalin."

When we've reached that realization, THEN we can meet halfway ☺

Instead of complete oil removal, the better goal will be is to lessen oiliness 😉

✅ oil blotting sheets pref the paper ones, not the plastic ones
✅ mattifying powders even baby powder! - I love @ellanaminerals loose foundation (not an endorsement) nagulat ako na am still dewy after clinic!
✅ AHA/BHA/PHA toners - am a huge fan of cosrx & wishtrend

✅ not layering numerous products - oily ka because may serum, toner, foundation, moisturizer, sunscreen ka sa umaga..
✅ spot moisturization - just hydrate the chin and cheeks, avoid the t-zone!
✅ use a hydrating suncscreen as your moisturizer na din!

See? Dami pwede gawin! 🤓
