The confusing thing about having oily skin is that when it gets cold out, your complexion can still get extremely dry while still producing excess oil. I say this as someone who looks like a greaseball at the end of the day if I don’t stay on top of it. So imagine my surprise the other night when I looked in the mirror and saw my nose flaking.
Of course, this led me not only to add two more hydrating sprays to my already revamped winter skincare routine, but also to reevaluate the makeup products I’ve been using this season. Considering the first point (I have oily skin), I can’t exactly cut out my mattifying products entirely; however, I did take a closer look at many of the complexion items I've been using lately. Some were mattifying, others were self-setting, and I noticed that quite a few of them accentuated the flakiness that the cold New York City weather exacerbates every winter. This made me realize that I don’t necessarily need to double up on oil-wicking products, so I swapped out a few for some of my favorite makeup products for dry skin.
