Introduction:
Oily, dehydrated skin is the worst combination. It makes your skin feel dry but also look shiny and greasy at the same time. It can be hard to treat because you don't know if you should focus on increasing hydration or decreasing oiliness, so it is important to find a balance between the two. Usually its best to save oil-controlling products for daytime, and use hydrating products at night.
Start with a gentle cleanser.
Use a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type, and one that does not contain alcohol.
Avoid using harsh exfoliating products, as they can leave you prone to irritation and redness. Instead, opt for gentle cleansers like micellar water or foaming cleansers with no added ingredients in them (like SLS). Be sure to use these every night before bedtime so that you don't miss out on sleep!
Apply an exfoliating toner or face mask a few times a week.
Exfoliation is a great way to improve the appearance of your skin, but it can be tricky. If you're new to exfoliation, try using an exfoliating toner or face mask once a week. These products will help remove dead skin cells and excess oil from your face without damaging the healthy ones underneath them. They also work wonders for helping treat blackheads!
Exfoliators are available in many different forms: foaming cleansers with scrubbing microbeads or micellar water (a liquid formulation), non-foaming scrubs made with crushed walnuts or oatmeal—even just plain old plain soap! They all have one thing in common: they contain some sort of abrasive substance that breaks down dead outer layers of skin cells so that new ones can grow back instead (this process is called "peel").
Apply a lightweight moisturizer.
You'll want to apply a lightweight moisturizer after cleansing and toning, but before any serums or other treatments (see below). This step allows your skin's natural oils to come back into balance so that it can absorb the oil-based ingredients in your skincare products. It also helps prevent dryness and flaking.
The simplest way to do this is by applying a cream or gel directly onto the face with your fingertips; though some people prefer applying moisturizers with cotton pads or sponges, I find that this method doesn't work as well for me because my hands get oily quickly—and if they're oily enough then they won't be able to spread out evenly across my face!
If you have seriously dehydrated skin, your doctor might recommend using a serum to repair your skin's moisture barrier.

Serums are more concentrated than moisturizers so they don't contain as much water. They're usually applied after toner and before moisturizer. They can also be used in place of moisturizer if you have dry or normal to oily skin types because they provide extra hydration without adding any additional oiliness to the mix.
Serums tend to cost more than moisturizers because they contain more active ingredients that work at different levels (for example: anti-inflammatory or anti-aging).
