Not if you are using the right face oil for your skin type. A skin that is oily is actually very dehydrated at a deeper level. Once the skin begins to hydrate deeply, it will move towards balance. The Balance Face Oil is the appropriate oil for an oily (kapha) skin. This skin type is thick, oily everywhere equally without ever feeling sensitive. The Balance Face Oil will absorb easily, will be oil-balancing and will have all of the right properties to bring kapha skin back into balance. The Fine Line Face Oil will bring back and maintain balance for a skin that is oily in the T-zone area only and may also feel sensitive (one of the forms of pitta skin). The Daily Repair Serum (Meadowsweet) in the Balance Collection will help to restore and rejuvenate the skin, will be hydrating and sebum-balancing. This is a great additional product to bring an oily skin back to balance.
