dry on the inside, oily on the outside

Helloooo, how do we know whether the skin is dry inside? This is because I have oily skin after finishing my routine for 3-4hours. But when I wash my face with just tap water, my skin will feel tight after letting it to dry. Does this means my skin in dry inside? And is it the same with dehydrated inside my skin? If yes, how to do go about it? What products do yall recommend for cleanser and moisturiser ? Thank you so much ;)

Don't rely too much on skincare products. Might as well check your lifestyle too. Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin and use hydrating cleanser and hydrating toner too that might help you to give your skin extra hydration,Also dont forget to use moisturizer for this also helps your skin looks hydrated and avoid production of excessive oil.

I think your skin is dehydrated, sometimes dehydrated oily skin overproduce oil to make up for water loss from your body (this is oversimplified but yea, that's the point). try taking more water, it should be 0.033 x your body weight (in kg) litres, or the simplest recommendation would be around 2 litres per day. and maybe, I suggest you to do your routine on damp skin, not dry, except sunscreen step. it'll help for products to penetrate better, and for moisturizer to do its job.

I wouldn't let the skin dry and apply the skincare on damp skin. You can also use a hydrating toner after cleansing. If you don't moisturise after washing your face, it will feel dry (especially if you have hard water). When oily skin lacks moisture, it overproduces sebum which leads to even oilier skin. So hydrate and moisturise! 💦
