Problem with tone-up or bb creams

Hello! I was wondering if anyone else has this problem: when I use a tone-up or bb cream my skin gets dry even though I have combination skin and did full prep previously, especially the corners of my eyes, nose, and mouth. I suspect it's because of the mineral filters bc the same happened when I used VT essence sun pact. I always feel my skin very tight. Also, I think I might need to wear a BB cream for dry skin and put some setting powder on my chin and forehead to not look shiny. I prefer to look shiny rather than having my skin so dry. I was thinking about the heimish one but I'm not sure if it's hydrating enough.

I find zinc oxide very drying for my skin. Any mineral sunscreen makes me dry

Mineral filters in tone ups usually can cause dry patches. As for BB creams there are better and worse ones but for that I use a normal spf under and skin prep too

It may be not the dry skin but the flaky/dead skin cells, from not being exfoliated. I have oily skin, and if I don't exfoliate, once I apply bb cream/foundation/primer it will show those dry patches. Anyway for the skin prep, you can try products like torriden dive-in serum or Pyunkang yul essence-toner they will definitely get your skin hydrated. Another option is to go with product like Amuse Peach cream, which is a moisturizer +tone up+spf or like you've mentioned a very hydrating bb and a sebum control/setting powder.

I have Heimish one, and I don't find it drying at all. Wore it last time a couple of days ago to the restaurant, celebrating our wedding anniversary - my super oily skin stayed matte for about 4 hours, which was a blessing. No tightness either. But my skin is oily, not combo.
