Why Your Face Gets Oily But Still Feels Dry
If your skin feels tight yet looks shiny, you are not alone. Oily but dry skin is one of the most misunderstood skin concerns, especially in Indian climates.
Why Oily But Dry Skin Happens
This happens due to a damaged skin barrier (skin barrier dysfunction). In simple words, skin loses water but overproduces oil.
Common Triggers
- Over washing
- Harsh acne products
- Skipping moisturiser
- Excess exfoliation
What Actually Fixes The Problem
- Barrier repair facials restore skin balance
- Hydration therapies improve moisture retention
- Gentle skincare prevents oil rebound
Professional Care Matters
At Dr. Reshma Ahuja’s Clinic, oily skin is treated by repairing the barrier first, not stripping oil.
