Don’t worry Morning Routine:

Toner: Use a fragrance-free toner with niacinamide or green tea
Moisturizer: Use a non-comedogenic, gel-based moisturizer like Neutrogena Hydro Boost
Sunscreen: Always apply SPF 30+ (Aqualogica Glow+ Dewy Sunscreen or La Shield)
Night Routine:
Cleanse face
Apply a pea-sized amount of Tretinoin on dry skin (alternate nights)
Rest of the nights: use light moisturizer (e.g. Cetaphil or Simple)
Don’t pick/squeeze milia, it’ll scar and worsen oiliness Use once or twice a week:
Clay Mask (Multani Mitti + Rosewater): Controls oil and shrinks pores
Steam for 5 mins once a week before bedtime
