That's the thing about the wrong habit, it doesn't announce itself as wrong.
You wash your face. You get out of the shower, look in the mirror, and by 9am your face already looks like it needs another wash. By noon it's shiny. By the time you're in a meeting at 4pm, you feel it that combination of oil and buildup sitting on your skin. You're not sure if anyone else notices. You suspect they do.
Bar soap and body wash strip the skin barrier which signals your skin to produce more oil to compensate. You've been triggering the exact cycle you're trying to fix, every morning, for years.
