Sudden shift into oily skin

2025-07-09 17:07:44
My skin was dry all my life suddenly from this year ever since I started using sunscreens religiously my skin has become oily especially around the nose . I have changed several sunscreens and face washes according to oily skin but nothing helps I don't understand this sudden change how is it possible ? If I use product with salicylic acid it makes the skin worse. I don't have any acne (never had any) but my skin looks congested around the mouth. What to do ?

Your skin type never remains the same, it changes with age, stress factors and even seasons. Kindly consult online, need to review detailed history, details of all the products you have been using and a customised plan based on your skin type and skin concerns will be prescribed.
