Maintaining my skin has been one of the struggles that I have to constantly deal with for the longest time now. I may not have that perfect skin state but I have my fair share of visit inside a dermatologist’s office. Im not saying I’m some kind of a skin-guru but here are just some tips that helped me in dealing my combination (oily-dry) skin.
