Oily and combination skin needs a dual approach: controlling excess sebum, minimising pores and preventing breakouts, but without drying out or disrupting the skin's natural balance.

Common mistakes with oily skin

• Over-washing or using harsh products: causes a rebound effect and more sebum production.
• Skipping moisturiser thinking the skin already has enough oil: oily skin can also be dehydrated.
• Using rich or comedogenic products: makes the problem worse.
• Not using sunscreen thinking it will make the skin oilier.
