Oily t zone
I have a combination skin i.e oily in summers and kinda dry in winters except that my nose and upper lip area gets super oily whenever i happen to touch it in the middle of the day irrespective of what the weather is. And also, my upper lip area/ area around mouth tends to appear darker than the rest of my face. What can be done about it?
Some people have more oily skin which can be due to genetic reasons. You may also be getting blackheads due to this. This can be treated with creams and facewash. Please call me or send me photos through online consult option for proper examination and advice on treatment.
