Oily skin in Indian humidity: stop the over-cleansing cycle
Indian humidity makes skin oilier than it should be. The fix isn't more cleansing — it's smarter hydration.
Over-cleansing strips the barrier and triggers rebound oil production. Counterintuitively, oily skin needs hydration — just the right kind. Gel moisturisers with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide to regulate sebum, and never skip SPF (oil-free formulas exist).
Avoid: alcohol-heavy toners, abrasive scrubs, and anything that leaves skin 'squeaky clean'.
SKINLINK tracks your sebum signal across scans so you can see whether your routine is balancing oil — or making it worse.
