sudden oily skin??

I don't really have oily skin and even during summers, my skin is just normal but never oily. But the past week, my skin has been really oily and all my products feel icky on my skin. There has been no change in my daily routine or place/climate. I can't figure out why even my regular moisturizer is leaving my skin feeling very oily. Is there anything I can do? I've tried washing my face 3x a day instead of my usual 2x

U should NOT wash your face more than 2x, you’re making your skin even more oilier 🤧 Sebum is secreted by your skin to protect it, so if u wash your face more, you’re removing your skin natural oil, so your skin feels the need to produce more sebum, and it’s why your skin is getting more oily! So I suggest u to use a very gentle cleanser, so u don’t dry out your skin 💖 Another reason why your skin is oily may be that it’s dehydrated ! Which means that your skin is producing more sebum to compensate the lack of moisture ! Idk what your routine looks like rn, but I highly recommend u adding hydrating products like toner or serum 💖 Other reasons may be: hormonal desorder, stress, too sweet diet 💖

try a clay mask, they do a really great job at absorbing excess sebum

Exactly....over washing thus making ur body feel like it needs to replenish! Always, even with oily skin, make sure to use the appropriate moisturizer after cleanser. I'm oily and still moisturize with a very light weight one tho.
