I found a skin routine that works well for me.

I have typical dehydrated oily skin, so I used to have a tricky condition where my T-zone was always shiny and greasy while my skin felt tight underneath every morning. However, I recently switched to a routine that reduces oil and focuses solely on hydration and soothing, and it seems to be finally paying off today.

When I woke up in the morning, instead of a greasy shine, only a very pleasant firmness remained. The redness around my cheeks has completely subsided, making my skin look very comfortable overall. Since the oil-water balance is just right, my pores look less prominent, and I can personally feel my skin barrier becoming stronger. I think I have finally found the optimal combination my skin needs, so I plan to keep this routine exactly as it is!
