A common misconception with oily skin is thinking your skin will become oilier if you apply topical oils and butters. In truth, often what is causing the oily build up is an underlying lack of hydration in your skin’s surface. Dehydration can lead to an over compensation and over production of the skin’s natural oils, or sebum. Getting your skin’s hydration levels right is the first step to amazing skin.If you are cleansing with a product that is stripping away your natural hydration then chances are you are doing more harm than good to your skin’s natural cycle. Switching to a hydrating cleansing balm like the CLEANSE Balm, and applying a few drops of the NOURISH Facial oil daily can re-balance your skin's natural oil production over time.
