I looked up the ingredients in both of those oils and the Milk makeup one has way too many irritant citrus oils . I would not recommend that at all . Coverfx is fine but the very first ingredient is a silicone , so if you ' re comfortable with silicones , it shouldn ' t be a problem . For a cheap alternative , NOW foods has grapeseed oil that is pretty good . You could also check out Garden of Wisdom . They have a variety of oils and blends . Since you mention that you did not get much oil on the blotting paper , your skin is dehydrated . It could be due to the weather or hormones or irritants and your face basically produces more oil in order to compensate for the lack of moisture hydrationwater . I would suggest that you wash your face no more than twice a day . Follow it with the aloe serum and any moisturizer that has glycerin , allantoin , urea or sodium hyaluronate in its ingredients list . These agents help the skin to retain water , thus reducing dehydration . As for the Foreo , i would limit its use for the time being , till your skin balances itself out . Did you use it too frequently ? Overexfoliation is one of the commonest causes of dehydrated skin over here . For now , i would say use it no more than twice a week . More irritation would equal more oil production . And lol , my sister used to swear by those biore strips too , only to realise that they made her problem worse
