Please share some tips on how to care for combination skin.
Everyone says their skin is dry because of the air conditioning, but for me, dryness isn't enough; my oil is exploding, and it's driving me crazy. Right after washing my face, it feels like my skin is going to tear apart and white flakes of dead skin start to form, but if I apply even a little bit of cream, my whole face becomes shiny in less than an hour... It is literally packed with 'grease.'
Because of this, when I apply makeup in the morning, it looks cakey and clumps due to a lack of moisture, but by lunchtime, it all breaks down and wears off due to excess oil. Every time I look in the mirror, my skin tone looks dull; it is shiny on the surface, but because it feels so tight underneath, even the fine lines on my face look more prominent.
Should I visit a dermatologist for a treatment to replenish moisture and repair the skin barrier for this type of skin? If you have any skin boosters or routines that worked for you like my dehydrated oily skin, please recommend them! Home care is simply not enough to handle this, so I really need professional help. Please give me some advice! ㅠㅠ
