Dry and Oily Skin at the Same Time

Oil is not always moisture

A face can shine and still be dehydrated. Dora sees this often when harsh cleansing strips the surface, the skin sends more oil, and the client mistakes that oil for proof that she needs even harsher cleansing.

That creates the tight-and-oily pattern: the face feels uncomfortable, looks shiny, and becomes harder to balance.

What Dora reads first

Before choosing stronger oil control, Dora looks at how the skin feels after washing, whether it flakes, whether breakouts follow irritation, and whether the barrier is asking for repair.

The routine may need less drama

The answer may be gentler cleansing, hydration, barrier support, or a better facial rhythm. The point is to solve the actual pattern instead of chasing surface shine.

Start with a makeup-free photo and a short note about what you are noticing. Dora can usually tell whether you need a facial, a consultation, or a simpler next step.
