Troubleshooting common tool issues
If your face feels tight, squeaky, or stingy after using a brush, sponge, or silicone pad, reduce how often you use it, switch to using just your fingertips with a gentle cleanser, and follow with a slightly richer moisturiser for a while.

Common questions about cleansing milk, cleansing oil and makeup removal
That tight-then-very-shiny pattern often means your cleanser is stripping too much oil at once, so your skin responds by producing more. If your face feels squeaky, dry or uncomfortable straight after washing and then quickly becomes greasy again, try switching to a gentler, pH-balanced cleanser and avoid washing more than twice a day. For oily and combination skin, a mild gel or foam that does not leave you feeling stretched usually works better than a very harsh, high-foam wash. Pairing your cleanser with a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser and consistent sunscreen can also help your oil production settle over time. [1]
