ELI5: how can facial skin be dry and oily at the same time?
gpt
If you over wash your face or use a cleaner that is a stringent, your skin becomes overly dry and your body over produces oils to compensate. 

I used to have a pretty wicked case of the issue you are describing.

I found that a sensitive face wash without any type of salicylic acid to be best (burt’s bees foaming cleanser works great for me)
