Oily and dehydrated skin: how to care for it in summer without fail
Teresa de Miguel Miró
Do you have oily skin, but also notice tightness, flaking, or a lack of radiance? Don't neglect it this summer. Discover how to hydrate it correctly without increasing sebum and achieve a fresh, healthy, and balanced complexion.
Oily and dehydrated skin in summer: why is it a problem?
Although it may sound contradictory, oily skin can also be dehydrated. This happens when the hydrolipidic barrier is impaired and loses water, even though sebum production remains active. The result is skin that is shiny but feels rough, tight, or even shows flaking.
Professional tip: we detect this type of skin through our free facial diagnosis in Madrid, where we also provide personalized advice to create your ideal facial care routine.
How to tell if you have oily and dehydrated skin?
These are the most common symptoms:
- Excessive shine in the T-zone, but a dull appearance on the rest of the face.
- Areas with flaking or irritation.
- Rough and tight skin, even with a burning sensation.
- Dilated and visible pores.
- Loss of elasticity or sagging, especially after age 40.
- Adverse reactions to products or climate changes.
Perfect routine for oily and dehydrated skin in summer
1. Gentle and purifying cleansing
Opt for foam or cleansing milk textures, which cleanse without drying out or altering the pH.

2. Balancing toner: mandatory step
Helps restore pH, soothe, and prepare the skin to receive hydrating active ingredients.
