Struggling with a greasy T-zone and midday shine? You’re not alone. Oily skin can be frustrating, but with the right skincare routine, you can balance your skin, reduce breakouts, and achieve a fresh, healthy glow.
🌞 Morning Skincare Routine
1. Gentle Cleanser
Start your day with a gel-based cleanser like Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Cleanser, or CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser.
