Oily by Noon: A Playbook

Midday shine usually means the morning routine was too harsh, not too light. Stripped skin overproduces oil to compensate.

Switch to a gentle gel cleanser, add niacinamide, and moisturize with an oil-free gel. Sounds backwards. Works anyway.

Exfoliate twice a week to keep pores clear. Clay mask the T-zone on Sundays.

SPF still applies. Pick a matte fluid instead of a rich cream and the shine stays manageable.
