If you checked for minimum 6 of these points you have oily dehydrated skin.

Your water-oil balance in your skin is unstable which makes your inner skin dry. Your outer skin trying to protect it secretes more oil. You’ll feel the tightness of dry skin and greasy and sticky on the outside. It is important to manage your sebum balance and give full moisture to your skin.

Here’s tips to include in your skincare:

Use lighter products in multiple stages

Because of the excess sebum production, the outer layer is really thick,therefore you tend to build up more dead skin cells. Even if you apply a thick moisturizer, it won’t absorb into your skin. Therefore use a lighter non-comedogenic product.

Exfoliate dead skin cells.

Exfoliate gently those dead skin cells without irritation. When you have oily dehydrated skin, exfoliating harshly can weaken the stratum corneum layer. For gentle exfoliation use an AHA toner product.

Exfoliate once or twice a week and don’t overdo it.

Use a weak acidic cleanser.

Since your water-oil balance is unstable, using a foam-type acidic cleanser helps bring skin’s water and oil balance. Normal skin balance is 5~7 which is slightly acidic.

A weak acidic cleanser prevents drying of inner skin’s moisture and leaves skin moisturized
The gentle foam will just get rid of the unnecessary waste of your skin
Use a cleanser where you can feel your skin moisturized even after cleansing.

Use deep hydration toner

A deep hydration toner will allow your skin to be deeply hydrated. The main ingredients should be

Glycerin
Sodium hyaluronate
Beta-glucan
Propanediol
Pentaerythritol

Do not use products that contain alcohol.

5) Lower the skin’s temperature.

One of the main reasons for oily dehydrated skin is the heat of your face. For every 1° temperature raised, the amount of sebum level increases by 10%!

Therefore lower your skin’s temperature by using a serum with a cooling effect.

6) Use a oil-free gel type cream

This gives a cooling effect on your skin and controls greasiness.

Gel type texture gives a fresh finish to the outer layer, but at the same time, hydrate your inner skin. Here’s ingredients that contain a lot of oil so avoid products containing it.

Triglyceride
Sodium palmate
Stearate
Stearic acid

These ingredients cause pore blockage.

Bottom line

Although oily skin can clog pores and lead to increased acne breakouts, oily skin also has many benefits. Oil helps preserve the skin, and people with oily skin tend to have thicker skin and fewer wrinkles. The key is to strike a balance between having too much oil and maintaining your skin’s natural moisture.
