I use a few tricks to balance the oil production and avoid mid-day shine - one of them is applying a mattifying primer even when I don’t wear foundation. The other tricks for oily skin can be found in this video. I’m currently using Touch in Sol No Pore Blem Primer, available on Amazon, YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT), Stylevana

Before I really figured out my skincare routine and made my combination skin behave more like “normal” skin, I used a primer every day (without foundation) to keep the oil at bay and have the face look even and not greasy.

Pay attention when you order

I have combination skin with an oily t-zone and dry-to-normal cheeks. Through proper hydration and a carefully selected routine, I have gotten it to balance out and rarely have an oily sheen anymore. However, for years, that was the bane of my existence. Especially around lunch time and afterwards, my forehead and nose would start to glisten. I still remember the sickening feeling of touching my forehead and the fingers sliding around in the oil. There’s only so much powder o
