Do you have a routine you follow to address internal dryness?
Lately, my skin looks shiny on the surface, but deep down it feels so tight it's like it's tearing apart. No matter how generously I apply my skincare products, only the surface gets shiny, and it feels like moisture isn't reaching deep inside, so my makeup cakes and flakes off quickly. I've tried layering moisturizer multiple times and even attempted a face mask every day, but the relief is only temporary; the dryness returns as soon as I turn around, which makes me so sad. I'm so frustrated wondering what on earth is wrong with my routine. I'm upset because I'm worried that I might have washed my face too vigorously and broken my skin's moisture barrier, or if the order in which I apply my products is the problem. As someone with dehydrated oily skin like me, I have to be extra careful because heavy products cause breakouts immediately. I desperately need a surefire routine that can directly lock in moisture deep inside my skin. Is there anyone out there who has overcome severe inner dryness and regained skin that glows from within?
