After 20-something years of trying to convince myself that I have combination skin, I’ve come to accept that I am the human equivalent of an oil slick. Because of this realization, I’ve done a complete overhaul of my beauty routine, using products that treat my acne-prone skin while also keeping my excessive oil production at bay. Additionally, my makeup routine has completely changed, and I now use products that are guaranteed to keep my face matte, but not lifeless, for a minimum of eight hours every day.
It’s a balance that has taken some trial and error, but it has proven effective. In fact, on a recent trip to Texas, where it was no less than 85 degrees every day, my entire face was flawless after a night of bachelorette activities. Yes, you read that correctly. Allow me to toot my own horn and proclaim: I’ve cracked the code to makeup that stops greasy skin in its tracks.
