Incorporate a toner with ingredients like witch hazel or niacinamide to control oil production and soothe dry areas.
Use a broad-spectrum, non-comedogenic sunscreen to protect your skin without adding excess oil or causing dryness.
Washing your face too often can trigger oil production and worsen dryness; cleanse twice a day for balance.
