Why me?? 0 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I know that if we over-dry our skin, it will compensate by producing more oil. My question is, if for example I apply a drying topical only on my nose, will my skin compensate by producing more oil on my entire face or only produce more oil on my nose?

Why me?? 0 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 If anything, the place where I live (Malaysia) is too humid and hot. I seriously think the weather is also to blame for my acne problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wibble 1 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I think the theory is that actually drying skin doesn't actually cause more oil at all in fact. I would doubt it would make any difference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
